Howdy friends :) What path have you taken after starting here? 1. Thrown Jake's folder architecture into claude + your project needs to get something fast 2. Used Jake's folder architecture as a template, editing it line by line to plan, think, and produce what you need I'm starting to build a folder architecture with the aim of being able generate brand assets for my company to use across digital, social, and print. In doing so, I'm finding that I have to THINK! 😂 I also sense that this slow trudge is helping connect the dots from the classroom lectures. It feels slow, like hiking through a bog, but I believe it'll solidify some lessons. What do you all think about moving slow to go fast (with AI)?

So, yesterday I delivered a presentation to a family that requested a Wealth Development Analysis. I took 18 years of their Tax Returns to understand their past, and projected their next 25 years based on diferent economic scenarios. I've used Cowork, Code and Design. It went great, but this is not the main topic here. I've recorded the whole 100min meeting, transcribed it, uploaded to Claude, and asked it to analyze the whole meeting. I asked questions like: What is my style of presentation? Where did the storytelling worked and didn't work? What was the impact of my presentation on each participant? What didn't I see during the meeting? What a system's thinker would tell me about the meeting? The output was amazing. I got deep, lengthy feedback that will help me improve in my next preparation and presentation. It felt like closing the loop. So, don't stop at delivery, add another step of self-reflection in order to keep evolving!

1. Watch the intro video and introduce yourself in the intro post here 2. Start with The Foundation (free course). Concepts, folder architecture, prompting framework. Everything else builds on this. 3. Check in at the bottom of each lesson. Polls, discussion posts, other members working through the same stuff. Use them. 4. When you're ready to build real things, move to Implementation Playbooks (Level 2). When you're ready to build your own tools, Building Your Stack (Level 3). 5. Post your work. Ask questions. Help others when you can. What are you here to build?

This course set me up with the knowledge. One of my clients is picking up 10 seats of Claude enterprise and I’ll be leading the team on how to get set up correctly for the long term. Cheers. Let’s hope this is just the beginning!
