44% of people will lose their jobs. But one guy without a staff will earn $1.8 billion in 2026
This is not an article about AI. This is an article about your blindness.
His name is Matthew Gallagher. He has no office. No marketing department. No programmers. And zero external investments.
His company does not treat people. It simply finds those who want to lose weight and sells them to clinics.
Projected revenue for 2026: $1.8 BILLION.
Net profit: $65 million.
His entire staff consists of ChatGPT, Claude, Midjourney, and his own AI agents.
When I hear such stories, I don't think "this is impossible". I have three specific conclusions.
Conclusion one. This is not about technology. This is about the business model.
Gallagher didn't invent a new market. It's been around for a hundred years. He just found those who don't know how to attract customers and started doing it for them.
This is an agency model.
Previously, this required an army of managers, copywriters, designers. Today, AI has eliminated the need for staff. One person with agents does the work of 200 people.
Conclusion two. He took a strategic pause. And you are afraid.
Before this, Gallagher had a business with revenue of $100 million. But with low margin—because a large team consumed everything.
He didn't push it. He stopped. Looked at the numbers. Understood: keeping people is unprofitable.
And rebuilt everything from scratch.
Most owners are afraid to take such a pause. They continue to hire because "it's the norm." And Gallagher simply fired everyone and replaced them with AI.
Conclusion three. In Kazakhstan and Russia, there are dozens of similar points.
Right now, in your city, there are dozens of businesses with a good product but without a system for attracting customers. Owners solve this problem manually: hiring marketers, targetologists, managers.
These are scissors.
Someone needs to come and build the system. Like Gallagher. With the help of agents.
Now the main thing. Why will 44% of people lose their jobs?
We are on the brink of the most serious crisis in decades. But the problem is not the crisis. The problem is that the crisis will force companies to count every penny.
And the first thing to go under the knife will be personnel that can be replaced more efficiently.
What to replace it with? Artificial intelligence and agents.
Gallagher's example is no exception. This is the new norm.
· One person is already making cartoons that used to require a team of 20 people. Series that took six months to work on are now created in minutes.
· Websites no longer need programmers. You just describe by voice: "I want a website of this color, with this structure"—and in 2–3 minutes you get a fully working product. No need to test. No need to pay a lot of money. No maintenance either.
· Copywriters, editors, designers—many of them will become unnecessary. Not because they are bad. But because the AI agent does the same job in seconds and for free.
This is not the future. This is now.
What about cryptocurrencies and payments?
You cannot build a business on agents if your money is in the old banking system.
Why?
Because AI and agents do not work with borders. They do not recognize the prohibitions of officials. They do not wait three days for a payment to go through.
Blockchain and bitcoin are the only decentralized systems that are suitable for the new economy. Fast. Without borders. Without intermediaries.
Even now, self-driving cars (Tesla, Waymo) are transporting people all over the world. People are riding and sleeping at the wheel. This is AI.
Delivery robots, vacuum robots—this is just the beginning. Next will be robots that go to stores, clean houses, work in warehouses. And they will pay through blockchain.
Movies about the future are already a documentary.
What should you do?
Don't give up. If your business is crumbling—it's not the end. It's a window of opportunity.
Now you have free tools at your fingertips that were only a dream five years ago. You need to understand and learn how to use them. But they don't ask for a salary, don't get sick, don't sleep, and don't take vacations.
Virtual employees work for you around the clock.
You have a unique chance to rebuild while others are panicking.
· Create a company without staff.
· Replace the marketing department with one agent.
· Set up a customer attraction system as Gallagher did.
· Use cryptocurrency to avoid dependence on banks and borders.
And don't listen to those who say "it doesn't work here in Russia." It works. You just need to sit down and figure it out.
Summary in one line
A crisis is not the time to fold. It’s time to fire unnecessary people, hire AI agents, and take your piece of the market while others sit idly.
44% of people will lose their jobs. The remaining 56% will gain superpowers.
The choice is yours.
