"Ethan’s one of the few AI voices I actually trust. No hype, no BS—just real, useful and timely stuff that works. He breaks things down without dumbing them down. I’ve learned a ton from him and even sent a few clients his way, which says a lot. If you’re trying to get smarter with AI without losing your sanity, his community is a great place to be."

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
No coding required. This program is designed for non-technical business owners who can write a process document but have never touched code. You'll use tools like Notion and Claude that don't require programming knowledge, and we provide step-by-step guidance plus tech team support for any blockers you hit along the way.
Plan for 3 hours per week over the 6-week program. This includes the 90-minute live session, time to implement what you've learned, and optional office hours if you need help. The recordings mean you can catch up if something comes up, and the 1:1 support ensures you don't fall behind.
That's exactly why we build a brain, not a machine. Your knowledge base and SOPs are tool-agnostic—they plug into whatever AI comes next. When ChatGPT updates or a new tool emerges, you update one brain and everything connected to it gets smarter. You own the infrastructure, not a subscription.
You can learn fragments. But YouTube won't give you a structured implementation path, pre-built systems ready to deploy, direct access when you're stuck, or accountability to actually finish. The difference is watching tutorials versus walking away with working infrastructure.
This is for non-technical business owners who are tired of re-explaining their business to AI every conversation, frustrated by automations that break, and ready to build infrastructure that compounds. You need a real business with processes worth systematizing—not a side project or hobby.
That's the point. The brain you build is for your whole business. New hires plug into the same system. It scales with you.
You get a 90-day roadmap for what to build next, lifetime access to all materials and updates, and alumni community access. But honestly—the goal is that you don't need us anymore. You'll know how to build, troubleshoot, and scale on your own.
