$50K Staff vs. AI (Why Hiring More People Is Not the Solution)

More people don't fix broken systems. They add oxygen to the fire.

Emma Rainville (the Wizard of Ops) and Mitch Barham (the Wizard of Ads) take apart the oldest myth in business — that every problem gets solved by hiring someone — and show what replaces it.

Three live sessions with Emma and Mitch. You leave with two AI employees deployed inside your business: an Ops Intelligence Analyst and a Media Intelligence Analyst — roles that replace $170K–$240K a year in payroll, running on the AI subscription you already pay for.

Mitch has 38 agentic workflows running inside his agency — media buyers, creative strategists, CSM agents — and plans to grow 10 to 15 fold this year without adding a single person.

Emma walks through her replacement for the old hiring process: an agent that diagnoses the problem, writes the procedure, and trains the agent that owns it.

Plus the Facebook lesson Mitch learned the expensive way, and why both of them think the window is much shorter than 18 months.
