The CEO Who Called Us Out—And Might Be Right About AI Content

This week on The AI Report, Liam Lawson talks with Nick Jain, former IdeaScale CEO and founder of Content Hurricane, about how he used AI to completely replace traditional marketing and scale his funnel 50x.

Nick shares how a $25 AI agent outperformed his in-house team, created content that outranked McKinsey on Google, and helped him build one of the most efficient B2B funnels in SaaS. He breaks down how he did it, why most marketers are missing the shift, and what the future looks like when AI runs most of your company’s creative output.

Also in this episode:

• Building a 90% AI-powered inbound funnel

• Why content teams will be replaced, not reskilled

• The new role of product managers in an AI-led org

• How Content Hurricane scales enterprise-quality assets with no human input

• The future of education, work, and intellectual leverage

This is not a “how to write prompts” episode. It’s a front-row view into what happens when a founder goes all in on AI and doesn’t look back.
