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?

Sixty minutes of real questions from real builders. Rich asked what skills to learn to stay competitive in AI roles. That answer became the frame the whole session ran on. From there we worked through finding clients, content strategy, the HTML versus markdown question, and what to build next when the obvious automations are already running. Natalie took the spotlight slot. The session closed on why liberal arts is the durable layer when most technical work gets absorbed by the next platform release. A few things you'll hear if you watch: - The L1 to L3 effort ladder, with the Pacific Life over-engineering story - The 200 to 48,000 YouTube subscriber path with zero ads and zero outreach - How the Feeld engagement came from a CTO finding the channel organically - Tokens as coordinates and what the Anthropic engineering team was actually saying about HTML - The four-year test for what stays durable in your stack The three questions at the end are the homework. The third one matters most. 📚 For Premium members The full artifact package for this session is in the Vault: 🫖 Afternoon Tea 3 - The Vault · Clief Notes🫖 - The twelve-slide Decision Map deck (PowerPoint) - Three strategy markdown files: Effort to Output Ladder, Show Your Work, Productionize Your Opinion - A Term Sheet covering every piece of jargon from the call - The Vault module page that ties it all together The strategy files are built to paste into Claude alongside the transcript so you can apply each frame to your own work. That is the part the video alone cannot do. If you are on the free tier and any of this sounds useful, Premium is where the artifacts and the live sessions live. Twenty-seven a month. Biweekly. No pressure either way. The YouTube content stays free and stays current. Build something this week.

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. 🙏
