AI didn't just get regulated to slow people down – it got regulated to SEPARATE amateurs from operators. As of January 1st, 2026, new AI transparency laws went live in California, Colorado, and Texas. If you're using chatbots, AI assistants, outbound voice AI, or algorithmic personalization with real customers, these rules ABSOLUTELY affect you and your clients. Most local businesses have no idea they're already out of compliance. One chatbot that sounds human. One AI call without permission. One pricing system that quietly changes what people see. That's all it takes to create REAL risk – and that's exactly why AI agent operators just became more valuable than ever.
AI Is Officially Regulated — Here’s the Opportunity Nobody Sees Yet
Tom Gaddis
Attended the School of Hard Knocks.
A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii.
Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes.
Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
