The AI Salon Mastermind
Do not collect more AI advice. Build a practice.
One membership. A weekly Practice Lab, a future-of-work mastermind, expert-led workshops, and a growing library of replays. All in a high-trust community of people doing real work with AI.
$49/month or $500/year. Cancel anytime.
What your membership includes
Four ways in. One place to practice.
There is no shortage of AI information. What most people are missing is a place to use it: somewhere to bring real work, get honest feedback, and keep going after the excitement of a new tool wears off. The Mastermind gives you that in four connected parts.
The Mastermind Practice Lab
A small weekly cohort where you build a practice around how you use AI: what you are making, where you are stuck, and what the work is teaching you.
The Great Repurpose Mastermind
Our future-of-work mastermind. Reclaiming agency, meaning, and value in the age of AI, and figuring out what you bring that a machine can’t.
Mastermind Workshops & Expert Series
Hands-on, practical sessions with practitioners and multi-week courses that take you from idea to something working.
Replay library & Tool Talk
On-demand workshops and mastermind replays, plus Tool Talk & Tips: small experiments and prompts posted through the week.
At the center
The Mastermind Practice Lab
The Practice Lab is for people who are already using AI and want it to add up to something. Members arrive capable and curious. The problem is rarely tools. It is the fire hose of change, half-finished starts, impossible standards, and doing all of it without trusted peers.
Each week the cohort checks in: What are you making? Where are you stuck? What are you learning, about AI and about yourself? The work happens daily. The reflection happens weekly. The group holds you to showing up.
Cohort 5 starts in November
Four cohorts in, we paused to look at what worked. In the two-part Mastermind Reimagined sessions, members are helping design what the next cohort becomes. Join now and you have a say in it.
The Practice Lab framework
Practice gives you something the next product release cannot.
A habit is just showing up. A practice is showing up with intention: aligned to your values, grounded in curiosity, always refining. Cohorts have worked through a nine-part framework built for exactly that.
Center the Human
Build around values, ethics, and intention, not the technology.
Play with Purpose
Explore without attachment to outcomes. Use failure as fuel.
Learn Across Domains
Step outside your specialty. Connect patterns.
Raise Your Game
Pursue best-in-class work and build creative muscle through repetition.
Professionalize Your Practice
Define your voice, value, and offering.
Create and Contribute
Share your work openly. Invite critique.
Practice in Community
Find people who challenge and support you.
Think Critically, Act Ethically
Engage complexity with discernment and care.
Reflect and Renew
Look at what you made, how you made it, and what it is making of you.
Mastermind Workshops & Expert Series
Learn it from someone who does it. Then do it.
Workshops are where the practice gets practical. Members learn from working practitioners, build alongside each other, and keep the replay to come back to.
Seeing Around the AI Corner
For business leaders who want to see what’s coming with AI, learn how to adapt, and leave with a plan. Starts with The Seven Economies: how uneven AI adoption will reshape markets.
From Chatting to Doing
A four-week foundations course in Codex and ChatGPT work, from answers to outcomes to finished work.
Prototype with Lovable
Five sessions that take you from “this could be interesting” to a functioning project.
New speakers every month
NotebookLM, AI governance, writing in your own voice, and more. See the schedule below.

What members make
Create work, not homework.
Mastermind members don’t just talk about possibilities. They build, test, revise, and share what happens. A few things that have come through the Practice Lab:
An AI short film
A finished film under four minutes, built with tight constraints: as few words as possible, three distinct worlds, consistent characters.
A filmmaking system
A music video made end to end with a custom set of AI skills, from idea fragment to storyboard to finished shots.
An app for all the apps
A member’s whole collection of experiments, turned into a museum you can wander through.
“This isn’t a class or a lecture. We’re all going through this together.”— Mastermind member
Who this is for
Not spectators. Practitioners.
You’re doing the work
You are learning, building, or experimenting with AI, but it still feels scattered. You want it to compound.
You want honest company
Trusted peers who can say “I don’t know” and still show up, make things, and learn out loud.
You care how the work is made
Craft, ethics, identity, and human creativity matter to you as much as speed or output.
You do not need to be an engineer, a technical founder, or an expert. You need curiosity, a willingness to work, and the generosity to learn alongside other people doing the same.
Before you join
Mastermind questions
What do I get with membership?
The Mastermind Practice Lab, The Great Repurpose Mastermind, Mastermind Workshops and the Expert Series, the full replay library, and Tool Talk & Tips. One membership covers all of it.
Is this another AI course?
No. The Mastermind is practice-based. You bring real work, join live working sessions, reflect, test, revise, and learn in community. Workshops add practical instruction, but piling up lessons is not the goal.
What will I make?
That depends on your practice: a prototype, creative work, a workflow, a service, a micro-course, a new offering, or something not yet named. The Mastermind helps you clarify it and keep moving.
Why pay when so much AI information is free?
You are not paying for more information. There is already an infinite amount of that. You are paying for an environment built around practice, accountability, expert guidance, and people who are doing the work. Membership is $49 USD monthly or $500 USD yearly, and you can cancel anytime.
What if I don’t have much time?
The Mastermind supports an ongoing practice, not another curriculum to finish. Bring the work already in front of you, join the sessions you can, and catch the replays when you can’t.
What if I’m not technical enough?
You do not need to be an engineer or an AI expert. Curiosity, generosity, and a willingness to work in the open matter more. Everyone is a beginner again when the technology changes.
From scattered experiments to intentional practice
Your practice does not need to be perfect.
It needs a place to deepen.
Bring what you are making, where you are stuck, and what you are learning. Build alongside people who care about the work, and about the human making it.
$49/month or $500/year. Cancel anytime.
