I'm Dr. Eric Townsend. At 64 I was terminated through no fault of my own. I won my unemployment case. Then I sent over 150 resumes and cover letters. Zero callbacks. Just the occasional "we'll keep your resume on file." I watched AI gurus get rich selling courses to people who couldn't afford them. I tried to get their attention. They ignored me. One gatekeeper told me I'd need to pay $5,000 just to get an audience. I had no money. My unemployment was just enough — not to be enough. So I taught myself AI from scratch. Free masterclasses. Google. Coursera. AWS Machine Learning certifications. Four to six months of late nights and refusing to quit. I read the feeds. Found the pain points. Built app after app. Then put them all together into one complete system. This community exists to show YOU exactly what I did — step by step.
