Bottleneck Rx Mastermind for AI Founders

Bottleneck Rx Mastermind for AI Founders

Sep 11 • 11:30 AM – 12:55 PM
Mastermind Workshops Bottleneck Rx Mastermind for AI Founders Turn the plan into a system you can run under pressure. The Bottleneck Rx Workshop gives you the plan. The Mastermind is where you put it into practice, refine it under real conditions, and make it stick. This six-session cohort is for founders who attended the Bottleneck Rx Workshop and want structured support turning their goal, 90-day plan, weekly habits, and capacity work into real execution. The workshop is the prerequisite because everyone enters the Mastermind with the same foundation: one clear venture goal, a working plan, and the beginning of a system for follow-through. The Mastermind is limited to 10 founders so the container can stay practical, personal, and high-trust. This is not a passive course or a networking group. It is a work…

Lead Magnet Automation: Repurposing Finished Video into Instagram DMs (Claude + Netlify + ManyChat)

Lead Magnet Automation: Repurposing Finished Video into Instagram DMs (Claude + Netlify + ManyChat)

Sep 12 • 4:00 PM – 5:00 PM
The LOLs have been on a summer sabbatical, but they’re back! You asked for it, and now Sid is delivering. He made a three-minute AI film called Black Rose. This session takes sixteen seconds of it and turns that into an Instagram lead magnet, live, start to finish. The premise: Sid didn’t set out to build a lead magnet. He used Claude to save exact prompts of locked videos the moment they are locked, so he could edit or rebuild it later if needed. The lead magnet giveaway already existed, and he didn’t realize it. Then came the idea that helped him stop throwing it away. What we will do Pick an AI-generated video clip with no overlay yet. Use Claude to build the scrolling-prompt reel from that shot’s saved record. Build the guide page and publish it to Netlify. Post the reel. Wire ManyC…

Drop-In Advocacy & Policy Chat

Drop-In Advocacy & Policy Chat

Sep 14 • 2:00 PM – 2:30 PM
Advocacy and Policy with Daisy Drop-In Advocacy & Policy Chat Beginning February 2, we will be hosting 30-minute drop-in advocacy and policy chats on Google Meet, every other week. These sessions are an open door for AI Salon members who are building, shipping, teaching, or deploying AI and want a clearer read on what’s happening in policy right now and how it connects to your work. This is not a lecture and not a pitch meeting. Think of it as a working conversation space. Use these chats to: Sense-check a policy concern tied to your product or use case Ask how current bills, hearings, or regulatory conversations might affect you Pressure-test an advocacy idea before taking it further Share what you’re seeing on the ground so we can carry real stories into policymaker conversations No prep required. Drop in with a qu…

Don’t Turn Three AI Risks Into One Blunt Restriction: A Risk-Based U.S. Policy for Chinese Models, Distillation, and Open-Weight AI
August 2026
Read the full brief
Since May 2023, I’ve invested more than 4,000 hours learning, experimenting, and applying AI through the AI Salon community. What began as nightly sessions quickly evolved into a professional and personal transformation. The consistency of showing up, collaborating, and applying new ideas in real time has sharpened my skills and completely changed how I think and operate in business. AI Salon has been more than a learning space—it’s been an accelerator for growth, connection, and real-world execution. Its structure, culture of generosity, and commitment to hands-on experimentation have directly influenced the way I serve my clients and lead my company. While the community is the heartbeat of the experience, much of its strength comes from Kyle Shannon’s leadership—his vision, curiosity, and willingness to invite others to learn alongside him set the standard for what collaborative innovation looks like. AI Salon didn’t just expand my knowledge of AI; it expanded what I believed was possible for my career and my life.

“Being part of the AI Salon has truly changed my life for the better. Kyle Shannon and the amazing community he has built have opened doors I never imagined. The weekly meetings, resources, and workshops are filled with real knowledge and genuine support. What makes the AI Salon stand out is the people. Everyone is so open to teaching, sharing, and helping others grow. I have made connections that inspire me daily and remind me that collaboration and generosity of spirit are what drive real progress.”
— Daniele H.
“In a time where a lot of folks are all about “me”…this group is all about “we.” It’s beautiful. Everyone here reinforces the change I feel, see, and experience daily in the world of AI.”
— Erica Hanna
