Millionaire University He Got 2M Users on His Car Platform (Without a Single Ad) (Part 2/2)
#833 What happens when a 3D car customization platform meets cutting-edge AI — and a well-funded copycat shows up at SEMA trying to steal the idea? In Part 2 of this two-part episode, host Brien Gearin continues his conversation with Pete Polyakov, founder and CEO of Mods Nation and Arvion Bauhaus, diving deeper into the tech and AI infrastructure powering the platform. Pete breaks down how Mods Nation evolved from a one-man passion project to a sophisticated system using MCP and AI agents to onboard thousands of SKUs and streamline logistics. He also opens up about the critical importance of protecting intellectual property, sharing hard-learned lessons from idea theft, and why filing patents — which can cost as little as $60 — is a non-negotiable step for any serious founder!
What we discuss with Pete:
+ Building Mods Nation from a solo passion project
+ Using MCP and AI agents for vendor onboarding
+ AI-powered car customization recommendations
+ Real-time parts ID in YouTube videos
+ Starting a business in minutes using AI
+ Demand validation through the platform
+ The importance of protecting your IP
+ Design patents starting at just $60
+ Lessons learned from a well-funded copycat
Thank you, Pete!
