AI isn’t taking your job — it’s taking your tasks.


🔮 The future isn't AI-first - it's human-first with AI-powered humans.

Hello Reader,

A lot of people think AI is coming for their jobs. They’re wrong.

AI is coming for their tasks.

But the work that matters — the uniquely human work — still belongs to us.

What makes us human is what makes us valuable, in a world shared with AI. Emotional intelligence, creative taste, adaptability, and ethics are uniquely human, which makes them our survival skills for the future.

Taste. Judgment. Empathy. Ethics.

These don’t scale with code.

The problem is, most people don’t know how to use their own discernment, through the lens of a completely new technology.

That’s what the AI F.A.S.T. Class Series is about:
- Learning to think with AI — not against it.
- To delegate the dull.
- To automate the repeatable.
- To amplify the work that only a human can do.


Turn Automation Into Alignment

Most AI training teaches you what to automate.
The AI F.A.S.T. Class shows you why.

Because without alignment, automation just accelerates chaos.
You don’t need another tool — you need a framework.

That’s what F.A.S.T. gives you.
Four workshops. One progression:

✏️ Foundations — Master prompting that actually works.
🧩 Applications — Design your first AI workflows.
⚙️ Scaling — Automate what matters.
🧠 Thinking — Turn insight into advantage.

Each session builds on the last — from literacy to leadership.
By the end, you won’t just be a consumer of AI — you’ll have an ongoing partnership with it.

1. Stop Guessing. Start Engineering.

If you’ve ever typed a prompt and thought,
"That’s… not quite right,"
You’re already halfway there.

Your creative taste - your discernment - is required to transform the bland into the beautiful.

In Foundations of AI, we break the habit of random prompting. You’ll learn PILLARS — a framework for prompting precision. You’ll practice feedback loops until AI starts mirroring your mind.

2. Move From Curiosity to Capability

Everyone has that lightbulb moment:
Wait… it can do that?

The question isn’t what AI can do.
It’s what you can do with AI.

In Applications of AI, we turn curiosity into capacity.
You’ll map your workflow, coach multiple models, and see — side by side — which one fits your brain best.

You leave Workshop 2 knowing where AI belongs in your day, and how to make it work for you, not at you.

3. Automate What Matters

Leverage isn’t about doing more. It’s about doing what matters, faster.

In Scaling with AI, you’ll design systems that expand your reach without losing your voice.

We’ll build publishing automations, turn prompts into reusable playbooks, and create growth systems that scale you, and your output.

4. Think With AI

AI isn’t just a tool for doing more. It’s a mirror for how you think.

In Thinking with AI, you’ll use LLMs as thought partners.
Brainstorm. Analyze. Synthesize.
Build a living knowledge system that grows with you.

We will practice using AI as a brainstorming partner, a sparring partner, and a debating partner, and use it to role-play multiple kinds of conversations.

Hands-on and practical, the AI F.A.S.T. Class helps you turn confusion into confidence, and prompts into productivity.
