This isn't a finance challenge. It's a design and voice challenge. You don't need to be a CFP to win this. Read the brief. Marcus tells you exactly what he wants and how he thinks. Your job is to build something that solves his problem and sounds like him. 🆕 If you've never built an artifact in Claude before, this is a great first one. The brief is clear, the scope is reasonable, and the bar is "would Marcus actually send this to a prospect?" 🔥 @Ian Barriopedro set the standard last week. Your turn. LFG 🚀

🎉 Meet your new admin: @David Vogel Some of you have been watching this happen in real time. David has been quietly turning his "Show Your Work" posts into one of the most useful threads in this community for months. Resource roundups, deep-dives, honest takes on what's actually working in production. No fluff. No hype. 🛠️ So I gave him the keys. 🔑 David is now an admin of Clief Notes, and he has his own classroom: 🏛️ David's Corner. Go check it out. AI Acronym Overload? Here's the Cheat Sheet - Davids Corner 📂 What's in David's Corner He started with the resource post a lot of you bookmarked last week and has been steadily expanding it. As of right now you'll find: 🔥 Must Have Resources - 🎨 Looking for design inspiration? - 🧠 AI Acronym Overload?
