Everyone, this is Iggy Thuray. He is our new Community Manager. From today, he is the person keeping this group alive. He's a 11-year insurance professional, dedicated father and husband. Here's a few words from Iggy: "AI is everything for small business owners over the next 3 years, it will decide whether they scale or lose it all. Think of AI as a massive cruise ship, and you as the captain. The ship doesn't run itself, it needs someone steering it toward what actually matters to your business. That's exactly why your human details and preferences matter so much. AI without direction is just noise; AI with your judgment behind it is leverage." Why him. Iggy joined The AI Edge as a member before he ran it. He has read these posts from the same side of the screen you are on. He knows what it is like to want to comment and close the app instead. What he is taking on right now: - Rebuilding the classroom. Restructuring what is already in there and adding more, so the path from where you are to what you want to build is obvious. - Getting you into the conversation. He is going to work with you directly to get you posting, asking and sharing what you are working on, instead of reading quietly. - Answering you. Post a question, get an answer that day. That list will grow. We are going to keep changing how this group runs based on what actually helps you, and Iggy's role will change with it. Say hi below. Tell him what you do, and the one task you want AI to take off your plate. And if you would rather not post it publicly, DM him. Seriously. Whatever you are stuck on, whatever you have been too unsure to ask in front of everyone, send it to him directly. That is what he is here for, and no question is too basic. Welcome him in.

Real talk — how many AI subscriptions are you actually paying for right now, and which ones are non-negotiable? I keep signing up for new ones convinced each is "the one" that finally makes me money, and now I'm just bleeding subscriptions with nothing to show for it 😅 For those of you actually making money with AI — what's the bare minimum stack? What would you cut first if you had to go down to just 2-3 tools?

Huge shoutout to the Top 5 members of The AI Edge for July. These are the people showing up, sharing what’s working, and pulling everyone else forward: 1️⃣ @Muhammad Haris 2️⃣ @Shahana Kamalenthiran 3️⃣ @Haran Muralee 4️⃣ @Maiyuran Gireedharan 5️⃣ @Sam M Special shoutout to Muhammad, who finished with more points than #2 and #3 combined. Completely ran away with it. That is what full-send looks like. 👏 To everyone who just missed the Top 5: the board resets today. August is wide open. And if you want your name up there next month, it is simpler than you think. Post the win you got this week. Answer one question you already know the answer to. Show up to Thursday Q&A. That is the whole formula. Let’s make August bigger. 🔥

Big credit to @Tyler Woodcock for being the first to lock in an annual membership inside The AI Edge Pro. Most business owners spend hours every week reading AI newsletters, saving random prompts, and making zero actual progress. That isn't leverage. It's just collecting bookmarks. The AI Edge Pro isn't a video course you buy and never open. It's where we take one real bottleneck in your business and build a system around it so it runs without you. The guarantee is straightforward: Do the initial audit, attend 4 live sessions, and launch your first workflow. If you aren't saving at least 3 hours every week by Day 30, I will refund your first month completely. The Executive Wave is open right now at $1,199/year, which saves you nearly $600 compared to paying monthly. If you join on the annual plan BEFORE FRIDAY AT 11:59 PM, I will also sit down with you for a free 2-hour 1-on-1 AI restructuring call ($500 value). We'll map out your operations and build the exact workflows I use to run my business today with The AI Edge. Once the Executive Wave closes, the price goes up. The 2-hour 1-on-1 bonus strictly expires Friday night. Lock in your annual spot here: https://www.skool.com/theaiedgepro/about

One of our members just did something most business owners never do. Tiffin, a realtor, had never posted on LinkedIn. Not once. This week he built a system that now hands him a full week of content every Monday. LinkedIn, X, and Instagram, with a branded graphic for each, in his own Re/Max colors. He reviews it and hits publish. 20 minutes a week. A channel that sat empty for years is now live, daily. He built it in under an hour, live, in the Build Room. I wrote up exactly how he did it as a free guide. It is posted in the classroom now. Go grab it, run the starter build, and you will have your first posts written today. That is what this community is. We do not hand you theory. We build the actual thing with you. Now here is the honest part. The free guide gives you the starter. The FULL system Tiffin built lives inside The AI Edge Pro. That is where we build it with you, live, every week. Here is what you get inside Pro: - The complete content engine: 3 platforms plus branded graphics, on autopilot - Live Build Rooms every week where we build these systems with you, step by step - The done-for-you templates and prompts, so you copy, not start from scratch - The full library of past builds you can plug straight into your business - A room of business owners actually building, not just watching One heads up if you have been on the fence. Pro is locked at its current price right now. Next wave it moves to $249 a month. Everyone who joins before then keeps the lower price for as long as they stay. If you have been meaning to jump in, this is the wave to do it. Grab the free guide first. Then come build the full thing with us in Pro.
