📊 Build the capability of the future, together.

Hello Reader,

If you've been following me for a while, you know my story. If not, here's the TL;DR -

• I ran away and joined the circus, and lived as a street performer, hitchhiking across the United States.
• I settled down and had kids, moved to Costa Rica, and started my own digital marketing agency.
• My family moved to New Zealand, where there are no natural predators.
• I wrote a book called Marketing Yourself, which helped thousands of experts and entrepreneurs increase their income, impact, and influence.
• 5 months later ChatGPT came out, and the world changed.
• Last year I started teaching AI Training workshops, and delivering keynotes around the world about this exciting new technology.

This year, I'm launching the Ai Coaching Academy.

💡 What is the Ai Coaching Academy?

The AI Coaching Academy helps individuals and corporate teams to experiment safely, learn together, and build confidence using AI in workflows they can trust.

Filled with practical tutorials, video walkthroughs, interactive games, and virtual events, this is a place where ambitious professionals can practice using the skills of the future, with peers who take thinking seriously.

🤖 How does it work?

It's free to join, which gives you access to some free monthly events that I host, and an Ai Play Ground - some of the popular games I've been using in my workshops to help people learn the basics with AI tools.

One of my core values is learning should be fun, and I embed serious play and gamification into the learning journey.

It's built on Mighty Networks, a community engagement platform and learning management system that I've used extensively for years in my work as a marketing automation strategist. I've designed and deployed Mighty Networks for clients, learning how to craft an engaging and interactive experience based around an expert's personal brand. Before now, I've never had one of my own - so now I can indulge myself in making all the cool stuff I've been brainstorming on for years.

🔍 What else can I do in the Academy?

There are some paid membership plans, which I'm launching in March. (don't buy one now, my newsletter subscribers are going to get a smokin deal in March, so stay tuned!)

• Ai Explorers - get monthly group coaching sessions with me, and access to my 100-level courses, like the Foundations of Ai Certification.
• Ai Builders - get weekly group coaching, as well as monthly masterclasses on 200-level topics.
• Ai Champions - get 1-on-1 coaching with me, and 4-week sprints teaching advanced 300-level topics.

If there's anything you would like to see in the Academy, please add it to the suggestion box.
