21, living with his parents… now doing $25K+
Had a crazy call today with one of the AI Model Factory members @Michael DiPietro. Mike joined at the very beginning when I launched the group in July 2025. 21 years old living with his parents and just finished high school. He had no clue what the f*ck he was doing with his life… but he knew one thing for sure — he didn’t want to end up as a regular 9–5 guy. After jumping from day trading → infoproducts → dropshipping YouTube videos… he finally decided to lock in on one thing: AI OFM. The problem? People scamming you with $50 ChatGPT ebooks fake gurus selling recycled courses and “AI millionaires” who started last week Nevertheless, Mike found one of my old YouTube videos (back when I was still faceless) and joined this free community —the one you’re reading this in right now. The issue? He was watching a lot…but not really executing. And that’s where most people here are stuck. - watching 6 different AI OFM youtube videos for “new methods” is not working. - watching ComfyUI tutorials on getting the most realistic skin is not working - switching models every 2 days because “this one might be better” is not working - copying what others do without understanding why is not working - checking your instagaram stats every hour is not working - jumping from IG to Reddit to Telegram without mastering one is not working. - thinking you need more information before you start is not working At some point you either lock the fuck in or you stay stuck. Anyway, I launched the beta of AI Model Factory and Mike was one of the first to join. Keep in mind — this was early AI OFM days… You’d have tears of joy if your model had 5 fingers instead of 6. June → $0 July → $0 August → $3.99 September → $1,250 October → $294 November → $1,441 December → $6,184 January → $6,230 February → $24,524 March → $2,300 (lost IG) April → surprise (2 new models + hybrid) Recorded the full interview today breaking down his entire journey from when he joined the group to where he is now. Will drop it in the next days.
