The gap between "typing prompts" and "directing a team" is widening every week.

What if you had 100 brilliant specialists
who never sleep?

Most people use AI like a slightly smarter Google. Ask a question. Get an answer. Start over. Wonder what the hype is about.

But that's not what AI is anymore. Right now you could have the equivalent of 100 PhD-level specialists working at superhuman speed. Across any part of your life. Getting smarter about you every time you work together.

Free. No pitch. Just a genuinely useful conversation.

You don't need to be technical. You need the right mental model. That's what we teach.

The divide is real — and it's growing

Some people have figured this out. They're not smarter or more technical. They just learned to think about AI differently.

?

Most People

  • Ask ChatGPT to "write me an email"
  • Start from scratch every conversation
  • Wonder what all the hype is about

AI Directors

  • Run complex research in minutes instead of days
  • Have AI draft in their voice because it knows their style
  • Build systems that handle recurring work automatically
  • Learn new skills with infinitely patient tutors
  • Make decisions with superhuman analysis backing them up

Same tools. Completely different results. The gap isn't talent. It's technique. And it's learnable.

The people who build this muscle now will have compounding advantages that are hard to overstate. Not because they're smarter. Because they started.

What Makes This Different

We don't teach prompting

Prompting is becoming obsolete. We teach the meta-skill: how to think about AI as a team, so that as AI advances, you advance with it.

We don't lecture

You bring your situation. We build together. You leave with something that works.

We don't stay narrow

Work, creative projects, health, learning, life admin — wherever AI can help you, we go there.

Future-proof skills

As AI gets more powerful, the skill becomes more valuable, not less. You're learning to ride a wave that's still growing.

What You Leave With

1

2-3 Working Workflows

Customized to your actual life — not concepts, not slides, actual systems you'll use starting tomorrow.

2

AI That Knows Your Context

No more starting from scratch. Your AI remembers your style, your preferences, your goals.

3

The Mental Model

So every future interaction builds on the last. The skill that unlocks everything else.

4

A Compounding Advantage

That grows as AI gets more powerful. The best time to start was last year. The second best time is today.

The ROI Math

Average professional salary: $75,000/year = ~$36/hour

Conservative time savings from workshop techniques: 3 hours/week

Annual value of time saved: 3 hrs x 50 weeks x $36 = $5,400/person

Investment Annual ROI Payback Period
Individual ($200) 27x ~2 weeks
Team of 6 ($3,000) 10.8x per person ~1 week
Team of 12 ($3,000) 21.6x per person ~3 days

These are conservative estimates. Many participants report 5-10 hours/week in productivity gains.

Frequently Asked Questions

Most people try AI without the mental model. They type in questions, get mediocre answers, and conclude it's overhyped. That's like trying to use a spreadsheet without understanding rows and columns. The tool isn't broken — there's just a way of thinking that unlocks it. That's what we teach.

Good. This isn't about technical skills. It's about a way of thinking. If you can explain what you want to a smart intern, you can learn to direct AI. The technical part is the easy part.

The opposite. We teach the meta-skill — how to think about AI collaboration — not specific tricks. As AI advances, the skill becomes more valuable, not less. You're learning to ride a wave that's still growing.

The workshop is a few hours. You leave with systems that save time immediately. Most people report getting those hours back within the first week. After that, it compounds.

YouTube teaches you isolated tricks. We help you build a system that works for YOUR specific life and compounds over time. It's the difference between watching workout videos and having a coach who knows your body and goals.

Yes. Team training can be delivered on-site. Travel costs added for locations outside the Bay Area. Virtual delivery is just as effective - we've optimized the workshop format for remote collaboration.

Individual: Full refund if you attend the complete workshop and aren't satisfied. Team: 50% refund if canceled 7+ days before the session; no refund within 7 days. We're confident in the value - most participants see ROI within the first week.

Team training costs $1,800 more than sending 6 individuals, but you get: curriculum customized to your workflows, private session with your team only, follow-up coaching, shared vocabulary across the team, and flexible scheduling. For teams of 7+, the per-person cost actually drops below individual pricing.

What Directors Say

Results from workshop participants

"I went from spending 20 minutes setting up context to having AI that just knows my business. The framework clicked immediately."
Workshop Participant Operations Director
"The Socratic Mirror alone was worth the investment. I documented workflows I'd been doing unconsciously for years. Now AI can execute them consistently."
Workshop Participant Marketing Manager
"Week 1 after the workshop, I estimated 6 hours saved. Week 4, it was more like 10. The techniques compound - each workflow I build makes the next one easier."
Workshop Participant Content Strategist

Team Case Study

10-person marketing team, before workshop:

  • 3 people used AI regularly
  • Average: 20 min per AI interaction
  • Common complaint: "The outputs aren't good enough to use"

Week 4 after workshop:

  • All 10 actively using AI daily
  • Average interaction: 6 minutes
  • Team lead estimated 8+ hours/week saved across team
  • Two people built custom workflows for recurring tasks

The tools didn't change. The techniques did.
