Episode Summary:

https://constraintcalculator.scoreapp.com/

In this eye-opening solo episode, Jordan Ross, founder of 8 Figure Agency, breaks down a critical and often overlooked issue holding agencies back from true AI integration: schema and tech stack structure. While everyone is excited about AI, almost no agencies are prepared to implement it at scale—and the result is costly mistakes, hallucinations, and wasted time. Jordan shares how his team builds “agentic solutions” for agencies, the role of structured databases, and why relying solely on GenAI will leave you exposed.
