I’m Tony Aponte, husband, girl dad, digital marketer, AI enthusiast, and health focused. But before I started building AI-powered growth systems, I was in the field — literally. Covered in sawdust. Wearing paint-splattered boots. Trying to figure out where the next lead would come from.

I spent over 20 years in the trades—construction, painting, remodeling, cabinetry, and property flips. I ran a 30-man crew, managed jobs across Florida, and lived the feast-or-famine cycle every contractor knows all too well.

Then came 2008. The crash. And a rude awakening.

I lost most of my contracts overnight. I hired a marketing agency to help me get leads. After three months and $3,000, I got two leads—one of which was out of my service area. That frustration lit a fire.

I didn’t go back to them. I went all-in on learning SEO, content, and digital marketing myself. That single pivot changed everything.

I Didn’t Just Adapt to Digital—

I Engineered My Way In

I taught myself how to build websites, write SEO-optimized content, and rank local businesses in Google. And it worked. First for me. Then for others.

That’s how I launched my first agency.

I don’t teach theory. I build systems that work—because I know what happens when they don’t. I’ve felt the pain of missed leads, bad ads, and backend chaos.

Now, I help founders install AI-powered systems that bring in leads, nurture them automatically, and help them scale without burning out.

Why This Isn’t Just Marketing—It’s a Mission

Because I know what it’s like to do everything “right” and still feel stuck in the grind.

Because I’ve been the guy chasing leads, bleeding money on bad ads, and wondering what’s missing.

Because the people building the world—contractors, coaches, consultants, creators—deserve systems that work as hard as they do.

And because hustle isn’t a strategy. It’s a slow road to burnout.

I believe:

Marketing should be automated, not overwhelming.

You shouldn’t need a team of 10 to grow.

AI should give you back your time—not create more noise.

Clarity scales. Chaos burns.

That’s what I build: marketing systems that deliver leads, convert buyers, and give you your life back.
