An Interview With Chad Silverstein
AI-Powered Income Generation for the Overlooked 98% — I use AI to help everyday people create income streams they never thought possible. From affiliate marketing to selling AI-generated assets, we teach real-world monetization that doesn’t require tech skills, funding, or formal credentials — just hunger and a weekend of effort. It’s economic empowerment at internet speed.
In today’s tech-driven world, artificial intelligence has become a key enabler of business success. But the question remains — how can businesses effectively harness AI to address their unique challenges while staying true to ethical principles? To explore this topic further, we are interviewing Harvey Wizard.
Harvey Wizard is a 2028 U.S. Presidential Candidate, serial 7-figure entrepreneur, and bestselling author of 65-Year-Old Badass. As the FEC-registered candidate behind Wizard2028.com, he’s leading a movement to empower ordinary citizens with AI tools to deliver justice — a Robin Hood campaign with six-figure payouts flowing to the overlooked 98% by exposing the corruption of the 1%. He’s also a touring stand-up comedian under the persona “Papi Azúcar,” a wild hybrid of Bill Clinton on sax and Lenny Bruce on the Truth Trombone — using satire and systems to fight injustice, one punchline at a time.
Thank you so much for joining us in this interview series. Before we dive into our discussion, our readers would love to “get to know you” a bit better. Can you share with us the backstory about what brought you to your specific career path in AI?
For decades, I’ve built businesses by reverse-engineering so-called “unbeatable” systems. I’ve been wired that way since I was a kid — like the time I hacked a coloring contest to win a set of encyclopedias, then sold them to finance my first photography business at age 11.
That instinct — to decode what others think can’t be cracked — has defined my life. It led me to develop SAT Codebreaker 54, the world’s only “times tables” for the SAT. Even the founder of The Princeton Review once admitted it makes every other SAT tutor look like “Harvey’s stupid cousin.”
In the early 2000s, I scaled one of the most profitable affiliate marketing operations on the internet by outsmarting the Google AdWords algorithm — without a team, just pattern recognition and a deep understanding of human behavior.
So when AI tools became publicly available, I saw them immediately for what they are: the most powerful system hack since the birth of the internet.
But for me, this journey isn’t just technical — it’s personal. After the loss of my only daughter, I made a promise to spend the rest of my life helping others build lives of freedom, health, and meaning, no matter where they’re starting from.
Today, I combine AI with hands-on mentorship to do something no one else is doing: helping ordinary people recover money they’re owed, create leverage, and build income streams using the same tools tech billionaires use to stay ahead.
Can you share the most interesting story that happened to you since you started working with artificial intelligence?
I’ve had dozens of wild moments with AI — but two truly stand out.
First, I noticed a weird rash on my neck. I uploaded a photo to ChatGPT and had a 5-minute back-and-forth. It told me it was shingles. When I went to my doctor and casually suggested that, he said, “Well, shingles can be tricky to diagnose…” Then he looked at it and said, “Yup. It’s shingles.” That moment stuck with me — the first time I trusted AI with something that personal, and it nailed it.
Second, as my alter ego Papi Azúcar, I headline comedy shows around the world. After every show, people ask how they can join Wizard2028.com. I use ChatGPT to help write my sets — and once, I asked it the impossible: “How do I make my daughter’s tragic death funny?”
(She fell from a third-story balcony after a night of drinking and drugs.)
AI replied:
“But my daughter got a dream job — teaching all the other angels how not to take a selfie.”
That line brings both laughter and tears every time. It’s proof that AI can be soulfully human — if guided by love and purpose.
You are a successful leader in the AI space. Which three character traits do you think were most instrumental to your success? Can you please share a story or example for each?
Rebellion.
I’ve never accepted “the way things are” — not in education, not in business, not in politics. At 66, I’ve built a life most people think is impossible: I live tax-free in paradise, I look 20 years younger than I am, and I make money helping underdogs win. That took a rebellious heart.
Pattern Mastery.
I once made $30 million in 7 years just by understanding Google’s algorithm better than anyone else. AI is another algorithm — and I treat it the same way. It’s a dance of pattern recognition, prompt engineering, and emotional intuition.
Empathy.
My daughter’s death gave me emotional depth I never had before. I don’t coach with scripts. I coach with my heart. People join me because they feel seen — not manipulated
Let’s jump to the primary focus of our interview. Can you share a specific example of how you or your organization used AI to solve a major business challenge? What was the problem, and how did AI help address it?
My company helps everyday people recover money they’re owed — from shady contractors, scammy businesses, or deadbeat parents who thought they’d never be held accountable. The problem? There are millions of victims… and almost no lawyers willing to help.
So I created the Justice Squad: a global team trained in AI-powered tools like ChatGPT, turning ordinary citizens into paid digital advocates who ethically pressure wrongdoers through review campaigns, complaint emails, and viral video content.
AI handles the heavy lifting — writing letters, improving post SEO, even scripting TikTok videos — while my Squad gets paid for doing what lawyers won’t. Some earn more in a few weeks than most people do in a year — all by joining my movement at Wizard2028.com.
What are some of the common misconceptions you’ve encountered about using AI in business? How do you address those misconceptions?
“AI is going to take my job.”
Only if you refuse to learn it. AI doesn’t replace humans — it replaces humans who refuse to evolve. I train my people to use AI like Iron Man uses his suit.
“It’s too complicated.”
Most people don’t realize you can learn enough in one weekend to increase your income, efficiency, or value. I’ve taught grandmothers and teenagers alike. The key is showing them how AI fits into a system — not just a toolbox.
“You need to be technical to use it.”
False. You need to be curious. If you can text your friend, you can prompt ChatGPT.
In your opinion, what is the most significant way AI can make a positive impact on businesses today?
AI collapses the gap between an idea and its execution.
You used to need a staff to launch something big. Now, with ChatGPT, you can develop the business plan, brand it, build the website, script the ad, and edit the video — all in a weekend. That’s dangerous power in the wrong hands, but it’s life-changing in the hands of people who are driven by justice, love, and service.
Ok, let’s dive deeper. Based on your experience and research, can you please share “5 Ways AI Can Solve Complex Business Problems”? These can be strategies, insights, or tools that companies can use to make the most of AI in addressing their challenges. If possible, please share examples or stories for each.
1. Public Pressure Campaigns — AI helps us write 1-star reviews, social posts, and petitions in seconds. We don’t do hit pieces — just honest, high-volume truth.
2. Remote Workforce Enablement — I train people around the world to earn $50/hour using AI to fight corruption — no office, no resume, just results.
3. Rapid Legal & Compliance Response — We use AI to draft legal complaints, summarize case law, and review policies. It saves hours per case and makes access to justice affordable.
4. Personalized Coaching & Mentorship at Scale — My entire coaching program is powered by AI tools that make my team of two (my wife and me) feel like a team of 500. From personalized onboarding to accountability follow-ups, we use AI to deliver the kind of hands-on experience that usually takes a giant corporate staff — and we do it with soul.
5. AI-Powered Income Generation for the Overlooked 98% — I use AI to help everyday people create income streams they never thought possible. From affiliate marketing to selling AI-generated assets, we teach real-world monetization that doesn’t require tech skills, funding, or formal credentials — just hunger and a weekend of effort. It’s economic empowerment at internet speed.
How can smaller businesses or startups, with limited budgets, begin to integrate AI into their operations effectively?
Start with ChatGPT. Think of one thing that costs you too much time or money — then ask ChatGPT to handle it. You’ll be amazed. Once you see results, stack more. Need email marketing? Branding? Ad copy? Let AI handle it. Think of AI as your intern who never sleeps.
What advice would you give to business leaders who are hesitant to adopt AI because of fear, misconceptions, or lack of understanding?
Don’t wait to “understand it all.” Just start. Play with it. Ask ChatGPT to explain itself. Use AI to learn AI. You’ll go from intimidated to obsessed in a weekend.
In your opinion, how will AI continue to shape the business world over the next 5–10 years? Are there any trends or emerging innovations you’re particularly excited about?
AI will obliterate bureaucracy. The companies that win will be lean, heart-led, and lightning fast. I’m most excited about AI-powered micro-agencies: small teams of 1–3 people who handle $1M+ in client work with AI doing 80% of the lifting. The freelancer economy is about to become an empire.
How do you think the use of AI to solve business problems influences relationships with customers, employees, and the broader community?
If used well, it amplifies humanity — not replaces it.
The business becomes more responsive, more available, and more generous. AI lets you serve 1000 people the way you used to serve 10. But only if you lead with love, not just leverage.
You are a person of great influence. If you could start a movement that would bring the most amount of good to the most amount of people through AI, what would that be? You never know what your idea can trigger. 🙂
That’s literally what I’m doing now. At Wizard2028.com, I give people 30 days of free mentorship plus training for a $50/hour remote job using AI. No resume. No pitch decks. No BS. Just results. We’re building a worldwide squad of “Justice Fighters” — people who hold bad actors accountable, recover money for victims, and build real freedom.
