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?

🎉 Meet your new admin: @David Vogel Some of you have been watching this happen in real time. David has been quietly turning his "Show Your Work" posts into one of the most useful threads in this community for months. Resource roundups, deep-dives, honest takes on what's actually working in production. No fluff. No hype. 🛠️ So I gave him the keys. 🔑 David is now an admin of Clief Notes, and he has his own classroom: 🏛️ David's Corner. Go check it out. AI Acronym Overload? Here's the Cheat Sheet - Davids Corner 📂 What's in David's Corner He started with the resource post a lot of you bookmarked last week and has been steadily expanding it. As of right now you'll find: 🔥 Must Have Resources - 🎨 Looking for design inspiration? - 🧠 AI Acronym Overload? Here's the Cheat Sheet - ⭐ Some of My Favorite Resources 📚 Learning for Everyone - 🥊 Obsidian is BLOAT! Batter Up - 💰 Flip the Script — It's all about the $$$ - 👻 Do You Have a Soul? - 🔄 My AI Workflow Evolution 👨‍💻 Developer Resources - 🕵️ LEAKED: Ten Prompts from Experts - ⚡ Introducing the Hermes Stack 🎯 David and Jakes Picks (this one's going to grow) Plus he's curating trusted YouTube channels and a running list of favorite community posts on resources inside the corner. So if you wrote something good about a tool, a stack, or a workflow, that's where it might end up. 👀 He's adding more weekly. If something stops delivering, he wants to hear about it. That's how the corner stays sharp. 🔪 💡 Why this matters The Vault and The Drawing Room give you my methodology. David's Corner gives you a second lens. Same standards (battle-tested, no theory, no marketing slides), different angle. He's been in the trenches with tools and stacks, and he writes about them honestly. ✅ What you can do 1. 🔖 Go bookmark David's Corner in the classroom 2. 💬 Drop a comment under his posts when something works (or doesn't) 3. 📨 Got a resource that should be in there? Tag him. He's curating.

I had an idea. I want you all to comment A traditional workflow that you have right now. Like some sort of set of tasks that your industry does or what you're trying to do. I'm going to see how fast I can build some sort of prototype or solution that automates part of it in your industry or pain points and I'm just going to make a mass video that shows all of them for everyone who comments and this. Whatever I build if you want it DM me and I'll send you something. If you don't comment in this, I'm not building it But let's see what we can do. Everyone comment what you want me to build below or more importantly what you do and what your industry is

Claude design is fully released. It burns up tokens but it works very well, and allows you to automate the folder design process that I've been showing you all. My video will go on to how not to use it as I think there's still some limits to what it can be done, but it's the step in the right direction. Again, I've been telling you about building systems that will be amplified by updates, not replaced. This is a perfect example. I'm going to go ahead and make a nice long form video out about this. What do you want out of the YouTube video? Comment below what use cases you want me to explore in the long-form (and eventually course addition of course !) For those of you that have been studying this the past few months, how does it feel to be ahead for once!?

Y'all have been flooding our DMs, so we're doing something we honestly weren't planning on doing. And while we're at it, we're dropping something else that's going to let you make money with us. Let's get into it. 👇 ---- 1. Lifetime VIP — $5,000 💎 We were not planning on ever introducing this. Truly. It wasn't even on the roadmap. But the amount of messages we've gotten asking "what would lifetime cost?" made us actually sit down and think about it. Here's where we landed: $5,000 for lifetime VIP access. A few things we want to be upfront about: VIP started at $47/mo. It's $97/mo now. We're not raising prices anytime soon. As the community keeps growing though, VIP will have to go up. We can only scale Jake's time so much. The $5K number factors in where VIP is heading down the road, not just where it sits today. And honestly? We don't expect anyone to actually pay this. 😅 That's the truth. We're posting this because you asked, and we'd rather give you a straight answer than dodge the question. ⚠️ Before you pull the trigger ⚠️ read this: If you're even thinking about lifetime access to us, you should probably wait. The Lyceum is coming, and Lifetime VIP is included. 🎁 The Lyceum is going to be the single biggest value drop we will ever do. By a mile. If lifetime access is what you want, it's inside the Lyceum at a better deal. Hang tight. 🔥 ---- 2. The Affiliate Program is LIVE 💰 This is the one we're most fired up about.
