I am working on a governance protocol to build this as an community and employee-owned team to make the best use of the funds/resources we will have in our bank account. This means we can take you on (and members on) as partners as we grow and pay you even more as long as we grow. And this takes away power "authority" from the CEO (me) to give you and other leaders more say, more power, and takes my resources to make you more $. Why would I do this? Companies are 3X more likely to succeed (and cross $1M, $10M, etc if they are employee owned vs single owner) I've built teams around this on the leadership side where we'd hire workers and doers, but keep the core of the profits for the westerner/american teams. And this led to me just continuing to "exploit" because that was the norm, and workers wanting to get paid $2/hr and thats ok and was fine. But now, theres a choice. Labor costs are basically not $2-3/hr anymore. They can get down to $20/mo as a claude co subscription + $5/mo with a modal.ai cloud subscription... I believe that productivity and AI empowers the person USING ai, not just the end owner or customer getting the end deliverables of it ($ and value). So I got to thinking -- over a few years if theres a way to do it where everyone can get involved, and not derail, damage, or screw the company us. And to make sure that we can run this not as a hippie commune but as a lethal team made up of smart people that just need to survive through this AI economic upheaval before it becomes too late. To make this work, and to get revenue to keep things on while building training that benefits everyone I worked with a few governance books, reflected on the best practices of the past companies I ran and worked with to come to this synthesis of business protocols. This governance protocol is also built with a few niche finance management techniques that operators use to manage their cash flow. - Profit First for financial transparency

Hey team, completed and passed the finishing exams today. For the people that find the learning knowledge overwhelming, I found it in the beginning overwhelming as well. Everything is very well explained and at the end of every episode you'll understand everything fine. This will seem logical but if you actually try to understand it, you will. Best of luck to everyone.

I'm asking for feedback. You don't need to write out all of your ideas, gripes, problems, things you wish the community had (or didn't focus too much on)... Please just answer these 3 things + why or what to change 1) What is the #1 good thing here that you can't live without 2) What is the #1 bad thing that if removed you wouldn't care 3) What is the #1 lacking thing that we don't have yet but we should. E.g. 1) I like the content + QA because I get to learn new things 2) I wouldn't care to get quiz + access pass, but I'd rather get it after I demonstrate the skill vs sharing what I know 3) Those on the team should finish the obeya board for the team, so they can see how it goes.

I went through the grafts, gmt, quest and tasks learning knowledge today. I passed all the exams! In the videos it's called the boring stuff but I loved learning about these things and going through them. Already thank you for this insanely beneficial knowledge🙏 Can’t wait to get through the rest. Best regards
