Welcome & First Steps: Do This First
Welcome! I’m really glad you’re here.
I created this community because I saw a gap: there’s a lot of AI noise, but not a lot of practical, usable AI advice that you can take into a real business or career and actually implement.
That’s what Orbit Sling AI Academy is for.
This isn’t a hype group.This isn’t “AI inspiration.”This is AI that helps you get more done, build smarter systems, and increase your leverage.
Who is this community for?
Whether you’re:
- running a business and want to use AI to save time and grow
- working in an agency and want to become the “AI person” everyone relies on
- starting your career and want skills that make you stand out
- building a freelance or consulting practice around automation
…I built this space for people like you.
Do you need to be Technical?
I’m not going to pretend that being non-technical is “totally fine.” AI and automation do require some foundations.
But that’s why I created a Technical Foundations section in the classroom, specifically for people who are new. You don’t need to become an engineer, but you will learn the basics so you can build confidently.
And I’ll walk you through each step.
🚀 What you’ll get here
- Practical AI training based on real client work
- Automation frameworks you can plug into your business or job
- Templates, workflows, and systems you can use right away
- Support from me and a community of people actively building things
- A place to level up, improve your thinking, and get real outcomes
I’m excited you’re here. Let’s build amazing things together.

🛸 FIRST STEPS — START HERE
Here’s how to make the most of the Academy from day one:
1️⃣ Make your introduction
Start by introducing yourself. Share:
- Who you are
- What you’re currently working on
- Your skill level (technical or not, it’s all good)
- How you want to augment yourself with AI
- What you want to learn or build
This helps me — and everyone else — understand where you’re starting and how we can support you.
2️⃣ Begin the Technical Foundations section
If you’re not technical, start here. You don't need to know everything, but you do need to spend months there, just a few hours.
I built this section to give you the minimum viable skillset you need to automate things, understand tools, use AI correctly, and start building real systems.
It’s simple. It’s digestible. And it will give you confidence.
3️⃣ Choose one clear outcome
Decide what you want to accomplish first:
- Use AI to grow your business
- Automate internal processes
- Become the “AI person” in your workplace
- Build automation skills you can sell
- Start landing clients with AI/automation work
The clearer your direction, the faster you’ll get results.
4️⃣ Ask questions whenever you need to
If something doesn’t make sense or you get stuck — post it.I want this to be a place where you move forward, not stay stuck.
5️⃣ Engage with people here
Comment, ask, share wins, participate.Communities only work when everyone contributes — and I’ll be here right alongside you.
