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?

Friday, May 29th, 12:00 to 1:30 PM EST, right here in Skool. Phil founded American Dream U back in 2003. It's a nonprofit that helps service members and their families land on their feet after the uniform comes off, whether that means a civilian career, more schooling, or starting a business of their own. They've worked with more than 16,000 veterans and brought in real entrepreneurs and business leaders to teach and mentor along the way. The man has spent two decades on this. I served. I know how strange those first months out can feel. You go from bouncing between countries, cracking dark jokes with people who have suffered with you, to classrooms or offices with blank stares and a lot of well-meaning advice that doesn't quite fit. Phil built something for exactly that gap, and he has watched thousands of people walk through it. We're going to talk about his own move into entrepreneurship, how to think in systems instead of one-off tasks, and where AI is opening real doors in the economy right now. Come with questions. This works best as a conversation, not a lecture. If you're a veteran or you're getting close to your transition, bring the thing you're actually stuck on. Phil and I will both take a crack at it. If you know someone who's transitioning and not in here yet, send them the link. Worth their time.

We've noticed people sending out phishing links in DMs and comments. Quick PSA to keep everyone safe. ---- 🛑 THE RULE If someone you don't recognize is sending you links, asking for money, asking for login info, or telling you to "claim a prize" outside of an official competition post, it's not us. Don't click. Don't reply. Just delete. ---- 💰 HOW WE ACTUALLY HANDLE MONEY We will never send you money out of the blue. The only time you'll hear from us about money is if you've won a competition. When that happens, Sonija is the only person on our team who will reach out to collect your payment info to send your prize. If anyone else DMs you asking for payment details, banking info, or "verification" to release a prize, it's not us. Report it!! ---- 🚨 IF YOU GET A SUSPICIOUS MESSAGE 1. Don't click any links 2. Don't reply 3. Screenshot it if you can 4. Send the screenshot to Jake, Matt, or a mod so we can deal with it We're going to keep this community a safe place to build and learn. Thanks for looking out for each other. 🙏
