On this episode, Chris and Chris Racic sit down with Pete Nelson. Pete sold over $2M on Amazon doing online arbitrage, burned out on the grind, and pivoted into the Amazon Influencer Program while teaching himself AI from scratch. He now runs Claude with MCP connectors to fire off scheduled tasks that organize orders, enrich Keepa data, and post content for him. We get into where AI actually belongs in an Amazon business (and where it doesn't), the simple automations you can set up this week, and whether AIP still has runway in 2026.
