First, if you are already a Premium or VIP member, you are grandfathered in at your current rate. This does not affect you at all. Thank you for being here early and for being part of what this community is becoming. For everyone else, here is what happened and why. Over the last several months I have been doing a full rebuild of everything inside APM. Not a refresh. A rebuild. The Artist Operating System course has been completely redesigned with new concept videos, full demo walkthroughs, and an AI Coach that guides you through building your entire operating system in a single session. The Start Here course is live with a clean step-by-step path from "I just joined" to "I have a real plan and I'm executing it every week." New templates, new worksheets, a better experience at every level. The community is better. The price is going to reflect that. Starting July 15, here is what changes: Premium goes from $19/month to $29/month. VIP goes from $99/month to $149/month (or $1,490/year). If you have been on the fence about upgrading, July 15 is your deadline. Lock in the current rate before then and keep it as long as you stay a member. Here is exactly what each tier includes: Free Community forum access, Start Here onboarding course, full Artist Operating System course, free Artist Strategy Call, additional courses unlocked by level. Premium ($29/month after July 15) Everything in Free, plus monthly live Q&A with me, all community courses unlocked, all templates and worksheets, early access to APM Podcast episodes, quarterly live OKR Refresh. VIP ($149/month or $1,490/year after July 15) Everything in Premium, plus a done-with-you AOS setup session, 30-minute 1:1 with me every month, quarterly OKR Review and Reset with me directly, your music showcased on an upcoming APM Podcast episode. If you are not sure which tier is right for you, book a free Artist Strategy Call and we will figure it out together.

Due to some technical constraints, I need to move the EISTIBVS Weekly Business Meeting to tomorrow at 3pm PST. See you then.

We just launched the APM AOS AI Coach, a guided AI session that walks you through building your complete Artist Operating System from scratch. Mission. Vision. SMART Goals. OKRs. Project Plan. All of it, in one focused 60 to 90 minute session. Here is what you get based on your membership: All members get the APM AOS AI Coach Lite course. It includes the AI System Prompt to set up your coach in Claude or ChatGPT, the AOS Output Template to capture your session output, and a Project Plan Template that works with any project management tool you already use.

On top of everything in the Lite version, you get the full ClickUp workspace with pre-built task imports for every area of your career. Your workspace goes from zero to fully set up in minutes.

Yo everyone! My name is Jay Thriller, an independent artist blending atmospheric trap, RnB, and Afrobeat, tapping in from Enugu State, Nigeria. What I'm up to: Locked into the studio for the first week of June to track my lead single, with the stems heading straight to my engineer in Phoenix for mixing/mastering. My focus here: Since I'm starting this project from scratch, I'm here to learn how to transition from the independent grind to a professional, systematic rollout strategy. Excited to connect and scale up. Drop your genre below—let's work! 🎧📈
