🏆 HOW COMPETITIONS WORK FROM NOW ON 🏆
Quick update on the competition schedule so everyone knows what to expect. 📅 NEW CADENCE: TWICE A MONTH We're dropping comps on the 15th and the 30th of every month. Two chances to compete, every month, on a set schedule you can plan around. ✍️ WHY THIS SCHEDULE Spacing them out this way means we can give tailored feedback on every single submission. Not just the winners. Everyone who enters gets notes on what worked, where it's weak, and what to do next. 🎁 WHAT WINNERS GET Along with the prize, every winner gets a 15-minute one-on-one with Jake. Use it to talk through your build, ask questions, or bring whatever else is on your mind. Two comps a month. Feedback on every entry. Direct time with Jake for the winners. Mark your calendar for the 15th and let's get to work!

🏆 WEEKLY COMP #8: THE WILDCARD 🏆
🎟️ PRIZE: FREE SEAT IN THE LYCEUM 🎟️ Pick your cohort. Technical, Business, or Creator. Your call. ---- 📋 THE CHALLENGE You are the client this week. No fictional Marcus. No fictional Sarah. No fictional Devon. Pick a real problem in your own life or work. Build the folder-based specialist you wish you had. This is the capstone of Month 2. The challenge flips. Instead of building for someone else, you write your own brief and solve it for yourself. ---- 🎯 THE TWIST The hard part isn't building. The hard part is scoping. Picking the right problem is harder than solving the wrong one. Most people pick problems that are too small or too vague. The skill this week is treating yourself like a real client. Be specific about what's broken. Be specific about what you need. Don't pick "I want to be more productive." Pick "I waste two hours every Sunday night writing the same kind of LinkedIn carousel posts and I need a folder that handles 80% of the draft work so I can focus on the hook and the visuals." That's a real brief. Specific problem. Specific scope. Specific desired output. ---- 🗂️ TWO DELIVERABLES THIS WEEK This is the only week with two pieces: 1️⃣ Your own client brief. 250 words or less. Describe the problem you're solving for yourself. Treat yourself like a real client. What's broken? What have you already tried? What do you need? 2️⃣ The folder system that solves it. Same structure as every week: - 📄 identity.md - 📐 rules.md - 💬 examples.md - 📚 reference/ - 📖 README.md Your brief lives at the top of the repo as brief.md so judges can read it before they look at the folder. ---- 🔥 THE ANGLE THIS WEEK Anyone can follow a brief. Writing your own, then solving it, then shipping it as a usable folder is a portfolio piece that demonstrates judgment, not just execution. This is the skill that separates "AI hobbyist" from "AI builder." Anyone can prompt their way through a problem someone else handed them. Scoping a problem, designing the solution, and shipping it as a system is what real work looks like. 💪

There has been lots of advice to go do the old competitions to learn, however, I seem to have problems with PDF's I am finding in various areas like old competitions. I suspect its a ME issue as its happened in different groups and would like any assistance to resolve. Whenever I click a pdf it says - This content is blocked.
