100 Editions Later: Take Your AI Skills to the Next Level

Dear friends and loyal readers,

Here we are—100 editions later! 🎉

Nearly two years ago, I started this newsletter from scratch. Zero subscribers. Now, after 99 weeks of writing consistently—almost without fail (aside from a brief summer break)—I've been sharing insights, strategies, and real-world applications of AI with you. I'm currently on a 54-week streak, and I’m determined to keep it going.

As we hit this milestone, I’d like to take a look back at the posts you loved the most—posts that sparked both readings and conversations. You'll find a hit list of the top 5 posts down below.

But even with 100 editions, there's so much more I want to share. More depth, more practical guidance, more opportunities to interact and learn together.

That's why I'm excited to introduce something new for those of you who, like me, are eager to dive even deeper into the possibilities AI offers.

Introducing: AI Live Workshops

There are many ways to learn AI, but one format really stands out for me. Over the past 5 years, I’ve trained and mentored over 1,000 business professionals and AI enthusiasts around the world, helping them understand, use, and apply AI to successfully augment their workflows and grow their businesses. Whether online or offline, I’ve found that workshops are the best way to keep up with the pace and complexity of modern AI education.

That’s why I’m thrilled to announce that, for the first time, I'm hosting my own AI Workshop series—a continuous, ongoing format that evolves based on YOUR needs. We'll cover everything from understanding AI and identifying opportunities to building your roadmap and prototyping your first AI solutions (if you're up for that).

The AI Live Workshops are a practical, hands-on learning experience designed for those who want to finally grasp and leverage AI to innovate and grow their businesses—not just watch from the sidelines.

Here’s What You Get:

• Two Live Workshops Every Month: Each session focuses on practical AI strategies and tools you can apply immediately in your daily work.

• Full Access to Recordings: Can’t make it live? You'll get complete access to the recordings, so you can learn at your own pace and revisit key concepts anytime.

• Live Q&A: Bring your toughest questions, and I'll give you direct, actionable answers tailored to your specific challenges.

• Practical Tools and Frameworks: Each workshop provides you with actionable tools, templates, and frameworks that you can start using in your business right away.

• No Tech Overwhelm: The workshops are a balanced mix of theory and practice. You'll learn important concepts and apply them directly using simple tools like ChatGPT, Google Colab, Sheets, or Power BI. I'll keep the tech requirements to a minimum – because, honestly, tech has never been the biggest barrier to AI adoption.

What’s the Value?

To be honest, from my experience running these workshops for multiple clients both offline and online, I know there's a ton of value in them, and pricing them fairly is tough. To make it simple—and save myself a lot of headaches—I’m using the occasion of the 100th edition to offer 100 seats for €100 each, no strings attached. This one-time payment gives you unlimited access to my live workshops for as long as I run them (and I plan to keep going for a long time). This is a huge value, and I'm underpricing it by something around 10x. But I want as many people as possible to benefit. This offer is first come, first served, and these seats will probably go fast.

Why Am I Doing This?

I want to build a community of business leaders and AI enthusiasts who don’t just want to learn about AI but actively apply it to achieve meaningful results. It’s also fun, and I think live workshops are the best way to learn AI right now. This format offers the best overlap between delivering a ton of relevant, timely AI content and allowing me to continue running a full-time AI consulting business (from which I draw all the insights I share with you).

Which Workshops Are Up Next? When Are They Hosted?

Check the AI Live Workshop page for all the details.

Is this really limited?

Yes! There are only 100 seats available for this one-time fee option, and once they’re gone, they’re gone. There may be other opportunities to join later this year, but they won’t be as cheap as this launch offer, and they’ll probably involve a subscription. So if you’re even remotely interested in getting more serious about AI, this is your best deal. Get it today.
