Masterclass 3
Build your second Brain using Claude Skills (1/2)
A Second Brain thinks the way you think. In this session, you'll learn the architecture that transforms AI from a generic tool into a thought partner. We'll break down what makes an agent intelligent, how to encode expertise rather than just information, and the three-layer system that captures what you know, how you decide, and how you communicate. Then we will build it.
Zero coding required. You'll set up your Claude Project, create your knowledge files, and implement your architecture. We'll install your first Agent Skills and test outputs against real use cases. By the end of this session, you'll have your Second Brain taking shape and a clear path to completion.

Masterclass 4
Build your second Brain using Claude Skills (2/2)
A working agent is just the beginning. This session turns your Second Brain from a tool into a system that compounds. We'll refine your agent until it truly feels like you, then put it to work on actual tasks: thinking, writing, analysis, decision-making, execution. You'll see how this becomes the first node in an AI workforce and what to build next to create compound leverage.
You'll leave with a system that works, not an experiment. Plus peer accountability and live build support to keep momentum going after the conference.

Where to Next?
Over two days, you've built literacy, leadership, and AI leverage. But what do you actually do next? AI is collapsing the cost of doing. The new leverage isn't in knowing the tools, it's in selecting the few problems worth automating or building.
This closing session gives you the decision-making principles for choosing high-ROI AI projects: Is this problem economically meaningful, humanly relevant, and systemically scalable?You'll leave with a clear map of where to go next on your AI journey and the lasting principles to guide every choice you make. In a world where anything can be automated, discernment is your competitive edge.
