AI Agency Mastermind by Wyatt Roderick Cost Me $20,000

I took the plunge and purchased the AI Agency Mastermind course on July 14th, 2025. It wasn't easy parting with $20,000 from my savings—money I'd carefully set aside over years of hard work. The webinar had me convinced though, with its compelling promises of daily coaching, done-for-you services, and what they called “proprietary strategies“ that couldn't be found elsewhere.

Reality hit differently than expected. Throughout my time with the program, I meticulously noted 17 separate occasions between April and September where scheduled coaching calls simply vanished—either canceled just minutes before they were supposed to begin or, worse, never acknowledged at all. On the rare days when calls actually happened, they'd wrap up in barely 15-20 minutes, not the full hour that had been promised. Instead of tailored advice for my specific situation, I received what felt like generic pointers that could have applied to anyone.

The “daily coaching“ turned out to be a library of pre-recorded videos from 2023—not the live, interactive sessions described during the enrollment process. During a particularly frustrating three-week stretch in May, I posted 14 detailed questions in their so-called “urgent support“ Discord channel. These weren't vague inquiries but specific challenges I was facing with client work. Days turned into weeks without a single response from any program leader.

My efforts to address these issues hit wall after wall. Between April and October, I sent 9 carefully worded emails to their support address and 6 direct messages to the program leaders themselves, documenting each issue with dates and screenshots. When I finally requested a refund on July 3rd, pointing out the clear discrepancies between what was promised and delivered, I discovered they were no longer using their previous payment platforms—a detail that wasn't communicated to members.

The Discord community, which had been described as vibrant and supportive, sat mostly silent. The few posts that appeared followed suspicious patterns—generic profile pictures paired with success stories that lacked any verifiable details. My attempts to connect with these members went nowhere.

Even the training materials felt underwhelming. The modules covering AI prompt engineering contained information that I later recognized from free resources published months earlier. Nothing about it felt proprietary or exclusive.

By September 30th, I had tried everything I could think of to resolve my concerns. The $20,000 investment yielded little of value, though it did teach me to thoroughly research online programs before committing significant funds—a costly lesson I hadn't planned on learning.
