Stop Drowning. Start Leading AI.
Here’s what high-agency learners often get wrong when learning at high velocity: it feels great to dive deep into a topic, spending hours on the 0.3-feet stuff. Until it doesn’t.
You might set out to learn machine learning and end up stuck for a week on regression and sigmoid functions. Or binge-read every paper on transformers without understanding the math. Both are sides of the same problem - zooming in too much or zooming out too far. You lose the big picture at 3,000,000 feet when you’re buried in decimals at 0.3 feet.
This is what we’re here to fix. To help you know what to learn first, and what can wait. Because in a world with no time or attention, never-ending learning paths just don’t work.
I’ve been through the same geek trap. I empathize with your elaborate learning plans and the burnout that follows. I only wish we were taught how the brain actually learns back in school.
When it comes to AI product creation, Mitalee says it best: it’s all about “designing the next token.” Oversimplified, yes, but deeply true.
We spent the weekend ruthlessly editing instead of adding more. Why? Because leaders don’t need 100 hours to get started. They need 5 and they have only so much time. That’s the ultimatum.
In 5 hours, how can a product or design leader get foundational clarity on AI? Most don’t have the luxury of patient mentors. Architects flood them with details. PMs skim too high-level. And experts are often the worst teachers.
So here’s our answer:
Under 25 essays.
Under 2,000 words each.
Focused on fundamentals.
Built for product and design leaders.
That’s it. That’s the Goldilocks path. We’ve got this. 🫶
