The Problem

Even successful entrepreneurs struggle. Here’s what they say:

I.

Don’t Know Where to Start

“I had no idea what I needed. I called a friend and annoyed him for an hour to figure that out.” People don’t know what they don’t know.

II.

Technical Barriers

Terminal? Commands? Tokens? Usage limits? The technical jargon alone stops most people before they begin.

III.

Security Concerns

How do you keep AI walled off from your other systems? What data is safe to share? Nobody explains this clearly.

IV.

Integration Confusion

Connecting AI to your email, calendar, or other tools is “not intuitive at all”—even for tech-savvy founders.

V.

No Best Practices

How do you actually prompt AI well? How do you train it? Nobody teaches the ongoing improvements that make AI useful.

VI.

Time Investment

One entrepreneur spent six hours just getting basic setup done—and he had a tech friend helping. Most people give up.

“The opportunity to onboard normal people to the latest AI is much bigger than I originally thought.”— Sahil Bloom, Entrepreneur & Investor

The Solution

A focused 90-minute session that cuts through the noise.

01

Mental Model

A clear framework for thinking about AI as a business tool—not magic, not hype.

02

Live Demos

Real-world applications demonstrated with actual business tasks, not contrived examples.

03

Opportunity Framework

How to identify AI opportunities in your specific workflow and operations.

04

Confidence

Leave ready to explore AI tools on your own, with a clear sense of where to start.

03

Tools You’ll Learn

Tool 01

Claude

Arguably the most capable general work assistant available today.

Tool 02

Gemini

Google’s AI assistant with Deep Research and workspace integration. Fast and versatile.

Tool 03

OpenClaw

One of the most exciting developments in AI agents so far. More than just an assistant. Your first AI employee.
