In this episode of How I AI, I sit down with Lucio Boccardi, he is eleven years old and a digital creator, innovator, and builder who’s already earning five figures a month online by experimenting fearlessly with AI.

Lucio’s story is a reminder that learning through trial, curiosity, and persistence still matters. From building a math video game using an AI app builder to generating royalty income from custom GPTs, he’s showing what’s possible when creativity meets consistency.

We talk about the rules he’s set for himself when using AI in school so he’s still learning the material, how he built his first Shopify store (and waited two months for that first sale), and how he turned 3D printing into another income stream. His first YouTube video reached 12,000 views.

Lucio proves that success with AI isn’t instant.. it’s built through iteration, experimentation, and staying curious enough to find your unique flow.
