How to Out-Strategy as a Designer AI in 2026 🎬 In this episode, we sat with @Brady Patterson who went from working with top sport brands like 49ers, USC, Fox Sports, Apple, and Hulu to building cult‑like brands and high‑converting websites for roofers, garage door companies, and blue‑collar businesses. We also unpack why “unsexy” trades might be the best niche designers are sleeping on, and how to turn creativity into consistent, lead‑driven income. Watch Full Episode below ↓
