Wanted to publicly credit Jay Tarzwell. On June 18th he spent a couple hours with me building my first autonomous agent — and that session is the actual root of everything I've shipped since. The receipts, for anyone who wants proof this isn't just talk: 27 custom Claude skills built, 11 tools stood up, and 636 dated changelog entries — all across my own personal businesses and projects, not client work. Plus 55+ documented wins in the five weeks since, including building Polaris — a planning system that actually quantifies my own productivity, potential, and real bandwidth instead of me just guessing at it. This latest skill calculates my timelines, production, drifts, delays with the same math that was developed for the Polaris Rocket project and EVERY skyscraper since. None of that happens without that one afternoon and the courage it gave me to start building. Jay, the salt water in my beard is on you, Captain. 🏴‍☠️ If any of this makes you want a little of what he gave me — get your butt to Pirate's Cove. Thursdays, 11 AM CT. WE will help you.

Well I think I was a land lover this morning.. and this afternoon im doing the doggy paddle. But I'm at the head of that island there, fellow pirates. @Jay Tarzwell sure grateful for a class today, buddy. I really appreciate it. I was so overwhelmed and I'm feeling so much calmer and stronger and better now. I'm going to get fitted for an eye patch this weekend. !!!!

I had a great two-hour lesson with a community member going from zero to CC installed and a project under our belt. This was our 2nd Claude session, but first CC one. We are exchanging marketing support for 1:1 CC training. This isn’t to say I’m willing to trade training for money or in kind support. This was the result of meeting in another group. I’m protecting their identity because I didn’t ask to post about them. What this is actually about how awesome it is to watch someone live through the screen have their head exploded the first time they experience CC’s power. What’s it look like? Their brain explodes as mind goes to the possibilities. And that’s what it is all about
