The AI Lie That's Killing Your Chances of Buying a Great Business

AI might be one of the biggest reasons to buy an online business right now.

Sounds crazy, right?

Most buyers are doing the opposite. They’re seeing AI disruption and running for the exits. But that fear is creating something interesting: undervalued businesses that other buyers are too scared to touch.

And not every online business is equally exposed.

A generic SEO site? Dangerous. A content business selling information AI can generate for free? Huge red flag. But a sticky niche SaaS with recurring revenue, customer data and integrations? A physical-product e-commerce brand? A community people actually want to belong to?

That’s a very different story.

In this episode, Jaryd breaks down which online businesses AI could destroy, which ones could become dramatically more valuable because of it, and the exact things buyers should look for during due diligence.

He also explains why ugly, outdated software might actually have a stronger moat than the shiny new AI tools everyone is talking about, and why customer inertia, switching costs and retention can matter more than how modern a business looks.

Because the biggest AI risk might not be buying the wrong business.

It might be being too scared to buy one at all.
