Bleeding-Edge Workshops this week - on Web3 and ChatGPT


Hello Reader,

If you're interested in technology that is so far on the cutting-edge that it's 'bleeding-edge' I have 2 free workshops you can attend this week:

TOMORROW 11am NZ time -

Token gating lets you prove, purchase, or earn membership in a community.

This interactive workshop will showcase examples of communities that use token gating, and all attendees will receive a TechWeek23 NFT. We will create a membership community during the workshop, to demonstrate the utility.

This is an interactive workshop, held on Zoom.

LATER THIS WEEK -

My recent workshop 'Create a 3-Month Marketing Plan with ChatGPT' was such a hit, I've decided to help more people use AI technology through LinkedIn Livestreams.

This is not a Zoom webinar, and you will not need to be on camera. This is a 30-minute co-working session using ChatGPT.

I will give a few minutes of instruction, and some copy-paste prompts. Then I will set a timer for 10 minutes and play some music. You will have a conversation with your own AI chatbot, and come back for show-and-tell. We will have 2 x 10-minute sprints during this half hour.

🎭 "It prepares you vastly better for the future to think of models as cartoon characters of arbitrary and growing intelligence living in the cloud than it does to think of them as software or tools." - roon Hello Reader, There's been lots of releases in July 2026. First, Anthropic said after Fable 5 was (re)-released, it would go onto the API, and paid subscribers could only use it via API or usage credits (making it pay-as-you-go, instead of all-you-can-eat) after 7 July. Then, OpenAI...

⚖️ "Companies need to turn their workflows, domain knowledge, and accumulated judgment into AI systems that improve with each use. The companies that build this early will have an advantage that is hard to replicate, regardless of any new individual model capability." - Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft Hello Reader, The years I spent as a marketing automation strategist taught me to see the work move through a workflow, end-to-end.
