Web3 CMO Stories Reimagining Business with AI | S5 E36
Dive into a revolutionary conversation with Kelwin Fernandes, co-founder and CEO of NILG AI, who shares a powerful vision for how artificial intelligence is fundamentally reshaping business strategy and entrepreneurship.
Drawing from 15 years of AI expertise and his journey from deep research to successful entrepreneurship, Kelwin challenges conventional thinking about AI implementation. Rather than viewing AI as just another tool for automating tasks, he presents it as a catalyst for completely reimagining business models and decision-making processes.
"The most underestimated power of AI is reimagining a business model," Kelwin explains, painting a bold picture of a future where AI drives production costs toward zero, enabling radical new approaches to pricing and customer relationships. His provocative concept of consultants potentially paying clients for the opportunity to optimize their businesses illustrates just how dramatically AI could transform traditional business relationships.
The conversation explores practical distinctions between superficial AI adoption driven by FOMO and strategic integration that transforms core business operations. You'll discover why focusing on decision-making rather than just automation yields the greatest business value, and how Kelwin's company applies the 10X Rule to marketing, achieving over 140 speaking events in a single year through strategic AI use.
Perhaps most valuable is Kelwin's entrepreneurial wisdom: "First-time entrepreneurs focus on product, second-time entrepreneurs focus on distribution, third-time entrepreneurs focus on networking." This progression reveals why building both a strong personal brand and AI expertise creates powerful competitive advantages in today's business landscape.
Whether you're an entrepreneur, marketer, or business leader interested in AI's transformative potential, this episode offers both strategic frameworks and practical examples for leveraging AI to create genuine business value.
