Fall 2026 Coaching Group · Build-With-Me Session

Get really good at AI by building with it.

I teach creators, founders, and operators how to actually use AI — not in theory, by building real things. Two ways in: seven live Thursdays with a small group where I help you stop being the bottleneck and start using AI, or one private session where we build your thing together.

Two ways in. Both end with something live.

We don't talk about what you should build. We build it. Thirty minutes for one stuck step or one clear question. Sixty when we are mapping a whole workflow and connecting the tools.

  • Your workflow or system mapped
  • Tools connected live together
  • Built, not planned
  • Written recap and next steps

What I help with

Five areas. All practical.

No theory. No generic advice. Every session is focused on the problem in front of you right now.

AI Stack Design

Which tools to use, how they connect, what to skip. You leave with a clear system — not a list of options.

Workflow Automation

Content pipelines, video workflows, DM outreach, team ops. I build these every day — I know where they break.

Build-Together Sessions

We open the tools, write the code, run the test. You ship something real during the session — not "homework" after it.

System Teardown

Bring what you built and I'll tell you exactly what's slow, broken, or unnecessary — and what to fix first.

Team AI Adoption

How to introduce AI to your team without chaos. Which tasks to automate first, how to train people, what not to touch.

Who this is for

I work best with specific people.

I'll be straight with you if I'm not the right fit. This saves both of us time.

Good fit

  • Creators and operators building AI workflows to save time
  • Founders who want to automate before they hire
  • People with a specific project to ship — not a vague idea
  • VAs and team leads figuring out where to plug in AI
  • Builders who've started but got stuck and need a second set of eyes

Not a good fit

  • Looking for someone to build it for you completely
  • Still deciding if AI is "worth exploring"
  • Expecting a full agency setup from a single session
  • Need formal consulting deliverables (SOW, reports, decks)

How it works

Three steps from here.

Pick a session and book

Choose the format that matches your situation. You'll get a short intake form — just 3 questions so I show up prepared.

Show up with your real problem

No need to clean it up or make it sound impressive. Bring the actual thing you're stuck on. Messy is fine.

Leave with progress

Something works by the end of the session. You get a written recap, next steps, and a resource list the same day.

FAQ

Questions.

What actually happens in the session?

We spend the whole session building, not talking. Thirty minutes handles one stuck step or one clear question. Sixty minutes maps the workflow you're stuck on, connects the tools live, and runs the first real test. You leave with something working and a written recap of the next steps.

Do I need to know how to code?

No. A lot of what I help with doesn't require writing code at all — it's tool selection, workflow design, and automation. When code is involved, we write it together and I explain every piece.

What if I don't know what to work on?

That's fine. We'll spend the first part of the session mapping your biggest workflow problem and picking the one to solve first — then we build it. You'll leave with a clear direction and something working.

Why is the session application-only?

I prep for every session, and the work only lands if you and I are aiming at the same thing. The form takes 90 seconds, tells me what you're building, and saves both of us a wasted call.

Can I book more than one session?

Yes. Many people start with one Build-With-Me, then come back monthly to keep their systems running as they grow. Just apply again and note that we've worked together.

What happens after I apply?

I review your application within 24 hours and send a Stripe link plus a calendar invite if we're a fit. I read your context before the call so we skip the background and go straight into your problem.

Do you offer refunds?

If you show up and the session doesn't help you move forward, I'll give you a full refund. No questions. In practice, people leave with more than they expected.
