1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

@Curtis Hays just dropped the capstone on a series I've been watching build in real time — and it's the one I'd send you to if you're tired of AI advice that sounds right and moves nothing. THE MIRROR AND THE WINDOW. The whole essay hangs on one distinction Curtis borrowed from Tom Nixon and then stress-tested against years of client work: most of us treat the Why like a mirror. Sit down, look inward, write what you see, call it true. It reads fine. It never shapes a decision. Tom's move is the window. Go to the people who buy. Listen to what they say about themselves. Find the reason they already had — don't invent one in a conference room. Curtis makes the AI parallel land hard. The default posture — "you are a helpful assistant" — is the same mistake rebuilt. Declared, not excavated. Instructions, not scars. A system that performs confidence without having earned it. The line that stuck with me: "AI did not generate it. AI revealed it." That's the through-line of everything Curtis has been working out loud in David's Corner. Not magic. Not infrastructure theater. A system for protecting and scaling judgment — built from real client work, real corrections, real belief layers that took months before the fifteen-minute setup felt easy. He didn't phone this in. Seven essays. One arc. From perception gap to worldview engineering to outsourcing the typing while keeping the thinking — and now Solve for Why. Archaeologists, not architects. I gave Curtis the section to work it out loud. He did the work. If you haven't read the series yet, start here: 👉 David's Corner → Curtis Hays — Systems Worth Amplifying (https://www.skool.com/cliefnotes/classroom/c7f102c7?md=dba87827cdff47449034a8368d492e48) Read them in order. The intro maps the whole thread. The Mirror and the Window is the payoff — but you'll feel it more if you've walked the path. And if you've already built something that started in the community and ended up as doctrine — drop what you're working on below. Curtis surfaced his in the open. That's how this place actually works.

Hello everyone! I gave a three-hour lecture today for JT Fox and his webinar on AI and Employment. For those of you who attended I would love to hear your thoughts! Explain to others here in your own words what you learned! (slide deck attached) !!!!!Disclaimer!!!!! I did not agree on selling anything WITH him yet, we meet tomorrow at his office in person to decide if we want to work together more! if you are purchasing anything with him that is fine! but know I am not in the deal structures or part of his sales as of now and can not endorse what he is selling until I see more of it! !!!!!Disclaimer!!!!! Waiting on him to give me the video asap so I can share it with you all on my YouTube!

Hey all. You've probably noticed it's been quiet in here the last couple weeks, wanted to explain. We've been building something for the community, and travelling at the same time to meet with investors and a few clients. We've also been busy getting the Lyceum ready. So less posting than usual, but for a good reason!! We're announcing the thing this week, and there'll be more info on the Lyceum coming out this week too. I think a lot of you are going to be happy. We've been grinding nonstop to get this ready. Before we do, we want to hear from you. If you're Premium or VIP, what's missing for you right now and what would you want us to add? If you're not Premium or VIP yet, what would actually make you want to upgrade? Form's here, takes about two minutes: https://forms.gle/MM8PLn2f6An1dfEUA It's open until Sunday June 21. Looking forward to reading everyones answers! Back soon with the news :)

The waitlist is up and seats are limited, so this is your nudge to go lock yours in. 👇 New here? Quick context. 👀 The Lyceum is Jake's live cohort program built on ICM, the methodology 35,000 people in this community are already using to get real results with AI. The short version: folders over agents. You learn the layer underneath the tools, the one that keeps working when the next model drops. Full breakdown is on the site. Here's what's inside: 🎯 Three cohorts, Technical, Business, and Creator. Same methodology, built around what you actually do. 🎥 Live sessions with Jake and a full team of instructors. ♾️ Lifetime recordings, written curriculum, and a private cohort Discord. 📜 An Eduba ICM certification you can put on your resume. And a guarantee no course makes: ✅ You leave with a working product, or the team finishes it with you. ⏳ Seats are limited and this community moves fast, so the math is not in your favor if you wait. 💡 Pricing and start dates aren't public yet. The waitlist sees them first, gives feedback on timing, and gets in before the program opens. Everything you want to know is on the page. If you already know this is for you, get on it. 🔥 👉 https://lyceum.eduba.io
