Advocacy and Policy with Daisy Join us on the first Friday of each month from 11:30 AM to 12:30 PM for an informal hour to talk AI policy, advocacy, and what’s happening in the field. Bring an idea you’ve been thinking about, something you’re seeing in your state or community, an advocacy challenge, or just come hang out and join the conversation. This is a casual space to compare notes, workshop ideas, share what we’re seeing, and connect with others interested in shaping AI policy and public engagement. Have a specific policy question you’d like researched or discussed? Please submit it at least 72 hours in advance to daisy@thesalon.ai so I can come prepared with a thoughtful answer.

We’re live three nights a week (Mon., Wed., Fri.) starting at 9:30P ET / 6:30P PT. Mondays – Breaking AI News, Hot Takes, Philosophical Debate (& some Meltdowns) Wednesdays – Demo Day & AI Tools (aka watch Kyle struggle so you don’t have to) Friday – Free For All, AMA, Special Guests (plus anything we didn’t get to cover) Programming Note: This is a neuro-spicy space and this schedule is tentative ot best.

The AI Salon Mastermind Practice Lab

Mastermind Workshops From Chatting to Doing is a four-week foundations course in Codex / ChatGPT Work with Brandon Tidd. Move beyond asking AI for answers and learn to direct it toward finished, checkable work — no coding required. Each session runs 60 minutes: a 30-minute presentation, a 15-minute live demo, and 15 minutes of Q&A. Week 2 — Build the Workspace Before the Habit: Set up one safe, useful Project. We’ll compare Projects, async tasks, scratch folders and ordinary chats, create a permission ladder, and practice the “read-only orientation first” habit. Outcome: You’ll leave with one organized Project, a written acceptance condition, and a repeatable first-task pattern. Live demo: Create the course-planning Project, add the brief and brand guide, then produce brand-aligned course copy.

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…

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.
