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?

The full hour-long session of afternoon tea is live on my YouTube. Anyone can watch it. Premium documents and prompts from session: Session 2 - 4/25/26 - The Vault · Clief Notes VIP session recording and documents are here: Session 4 - 4/25/2026 - The Drawing Room (VIP) · Clief Notes Two sessions this week and the artifact packages just landed for paid members. Here's what got covered so the whole community can see what's in each one. 🎩 VIP Session 4 — Replacement, Governance, and the Emerge Methodology 📦 @Marcin Hakemer-Fernandez asked if his language-learning app gets cloned in two months. We pulled in the Liquid Paper story (kitchen blender, sold to Gillette for $47.5M) and landed on the real question: are you building an AI company, or a company that uses AI? Different game, different moat. ⚖️ @Tiffany Coyle flagged a real consent gap on how AI platforms handle reporting. We walked through three actual 2026 cases: Italy fined OpenAI €15M, the EU Parliament banned Claude and Copilot internally, Microsoft confirmed a Copilot bug that exposed confidential email summaries for six weeks. Then the open-source escape hatch (Ollama, AnythingLLM, Open WebUI, Jan, OpenLLM, Spellbook ZDR) for anyone who needs privacy across every market. 👤Austin asked whether to build his name at his company or build his own. Answer: both. They're concentric circles. We worked through the Second-Order Problems Framework live — the move that lands authority faster than any pitch. 🌐 Plus the Emerge Conference build I covered for Matt (he was sick). 300+ branded websites in two days, 7M tokens burned, hosted free on GitHub Pages. Full methodology in the artifact package. 🔒 VIP members — the full Decision Map deck plus five companion MDs (Replacement and Framing Thesis, AI Governance Field Guide, Personal Brand and Second-Order Problems, Emerge Methodology, Term Sheet) are in the Drawing Room now. Recording's in there too.

This isn't a finance challenge. It's a design and voice challenge. You don't need to be a CFP to win this. Read the brief. Marcus tells you exactly what he wants and how he thinks. Your job is to build something that solves his problem and sounds like him. 🆕 If you've never built an artifact in Claude before, this is a great first one. The brief is clear, the scope is reasonable, and the bar is "would Marcus actually send this to a prospect?" 🔥 @Ian Barriopedro set the standard last week. Your turn. LFG 🚀
