Second Monday. Second winner. Let's keep it going. @Alex Nartey topped the 7-day leaderboard with +191 points and earned himself free lifetime Premium access. 71 total contributions to this community. Not lurking. Not watching from the sideline. Showing up in the comments on Jake's posts, Matt's posts, other members' posts. Adding to the conversation. Engaging with the work. That's what the leaderboard actually measures. Participation that helps other people learn. Alex wasn't farming points. He was in the threads doing the thing that makes this community worth being in. 🎉 @Alex Nartey congratulations. You earned it. The leaderboard resets now. New week. New race. Whoever is on top next Monday morning gets the same deal. Free lifetime Premium. Already a paying VIP member? We'll upgrade you to free lifetime VIP. See you next Monday!!

I handle pipeline and partnerships at Eduba, and I'm asking the room for help on this one. We've got a shot at federal funding to run an AI capability-building pilot inside a public sector agency. Same playbook we've used with Pacific Life, Colgate, and KPMG UK, now pointed at the government workforce. The piece we're missing is the partner. State, county, or federal. An agency with legacy pain, a workforce ready to actually use AI the right way, and a leader willing to try something real. This is grant-funded. No procurement cycle, no sales pitch. The agency gets trained, equipped, and supported. We get to prove the model in public with the people who need it most. Timeline is tight. We need a partner locked in over the next few weeks. If you know someone in a state CIO office, a county agency, a federal program, or anywhere a civil servant is losing sleep over their tech stack, DM me. I'll personally work with you to figure out the best way in, whether that's a three-way intro, a short brief I can send you to forward, or a call with all of us on the line. And if the intro you make is the one that lands the partnership, you get lifetime VIP in the community on us. No cost, ever.

Premium members: Afternoon Tea is coming up. If there's something you want us to cover on the call, submit it here: https://forms.gle/kYLxXYmVj2BDfTV59 Doesn't have to be complicated. A question, a problem you're working through, something you want a second set of eyes on. Drop it in and we'll make sure we get to it.

VIP members: High Tea is coming up. If you've got something you want me and Jake to dig into on the call, drop it here ahead of time: https://forms.gle/sLSSbAaXmBssK5ro9 Could be a build you're stuck on, a workflow you want us to look at, something you saw that you want our take on. Whatever's on your mind. We'll pull from these during the call so we can actually go deep instead of scrambling. See you there.
