I built two $1M ARR AI businesses, and now I help professionals and business owners use AI better than 99% of people in their industry. And I (try to) show you exactly how. I believe anyone with domain expertise can use AI to transform the way they work and grow their business. You don't need to be technical. I make videos that cover: 1. How to stop feeling overwhelmed by AI and actually start implementing 2. AI automation tutorials you can follow along with, even if you're not technical 3. The strategies and systems that actually move the needle with AI

Makers residency 4th edition

Your idea can be anything. At our last workshops, people built plant-based nutrition businesses, a way to measure planetary resilience, crochet headwear and a way to connect lonely people living in the same building. An asset manager went on to raise an additional £25M on their fund within nine months. The fourth workshop is a full day at KOKO with Nick Sarafa, learning to build with Claude Code. Bring the thing you keep meaning to start. We’ll bring the pizza.
