Four hours. 3K leads.
A sales channel of his own, built in an afternoon: around three thousand organisations that commission work like his, a scoring survey on his own site, and a domain bought live to run it from.

The session
He is the first guest who came on as a peer rather than as somebody being rescued, and the first who had already had a go on his own before the camera was on. Limelight has been projecting onto buildings since 2006, on four continents, and the work has always arrived by being found. The question he brought was how to go the other way: who actually commissions a thing like this, and how do you reach them.
He left with around three thousand of them, and a domain bought on air to run it from. Four hours, the longest session so far.
What Istvan said afterwards
The show with Mate is amazing. He helped me solving problems in a few hours that I'd have spent months working on myself. He's really passionate about helping people in the new world of AI and I'm grateful that I could be a part of his show. Definitely recommended for everyone!
