👏 BIG CONGRATS TO @Alice Bazdikian WHO PASSED THE CCAF THIS MORNING!!! That's two of us that have crossed the finish line. Alice will give us a debrief on tomorrows Town Hall as well. Let's all congratulate Alice!!

I created a CCAF curriculum to help with our preparation pacing. It's a week-by-week study plan: each week has a clear course goal, the tech concepts to prep before the following week's CCAF content, and curated video resources for each concept. Follow along and you'll finish all four courses by the end of August, with the CCAF-relevant tech foundations already in place. This will serve as the preparation timeline for the APAC pod. Take a look here: CCAF Study Plan Feedback is very welcome!

Many of you want to start sharing that you are sitting for the CCAF and what that will do for your skill set. That is a wonderful thing and will help us all gain momentum to leverage the cert. However, there are some rules to follow so we don't jeopardize the CPN status or everyone's ability to get certified. These rules apply whether you say you are working with Shift Smart AI or not. Please find those rules here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1snAqKj2kcLFiXPC6lTs9a-ggfl9RRAT4KD_ILaDrBbE/edit?usp=sharing

Ladies, from the ones who have posted their introductions and locations, we have a group spread out across the globe! So, the best time I can find that gives us all a chance to be on a call together is 7am CST. Below is what we have for corresponding times: 🌎 Proposed CCAF Study Call Time Here’s what a 7:00 AM Texas (CST/CDT) call would look like across locations: 🇺🇸 Texas (Anita / Henriette) — 7:00 AM 🇺🇸 South Carolina (Jing / Rebecca) — 8:00 AM 🇨🇦 Eastern Canada / Toronto (Alice / Mina) — 8:00 AM 🇧🇴 Bolivia (Pam) — 8:00 AM 🇬🇧 London UK (Juliet) — 1:00 PM 🇫🇷 France / Europe (Maria) — 2:00 PM 🇹🇼 Taiwan (Hsin-Chih) — 8:00 PM 🇦🇺 Australia (Josi) — 9:00 PM We may be partnering with another study group with someone on this list. Also, I am playing tag with Vishon from the Women in AI group who is coordinating a much larger group. I'd like to see what we can leverage and coordinate from them before we meet. Can everyone make this? If not, it will be recorded. Here is zoom link: https://us06web.zoom.us/j/83010770078?pwd=hYNfQU87Hq89gIgyaqHKcuSuQhS9Ed.1 If you have NOT introduced yourself, please take a few minutes to do so. It will help everyone know your background and experience with CC, timezone, location and more. We may be branching off into smaller groups given our dispersion geographically, so we'd like to know how best to pair and intros are important! https://www.skool.com/the-ccaf-cohort-8589/welcome-to-the-cohort-introduce-yourself?p=b915937b Thanks! Anita
