- You’re being left behind the ‘AI train’ and don’t have a plan to catch up

- There’s more to AI than ChatGPT, but you’re not clear what to invest in
- You’ve seen AI pilot projects fail and can’t afford that for your team
- Agentic AI sounds powerful but you don’t know where to turn

Frequently asked questions
Do I need any technical background?
No coding required. The course is designed for business leaders, not developers. If you can use email and open a document, you have everything you need to start.
How does the self-paced format work?
You begin with a live 90-minute group kickoff session that gets your tools and API connections set up. From there, work through video modules on your own schedule — completing the full course within any 4-week window.
Can Paul deliver this in person?
Yes. Leaders can book Paul to deliver the program in-person for their team. Inquire via the form for scheduling and pricing — additional travel fees apply.
How does the team bundle work?
The $6,999 team bundle covers 5 seats from the same company. All 5 participants share the group kickoff session and each receives their own private 60-minute strategic 1:1 with Paul upon completion.
How is this different from the AI Roadmap Session?
The Roadmap Session is a private 1:1 strategy consultation — it’s about building your AI plan. This course is educational and skills-based. Many clients do both: Roadmap first to set direction, then the course so the leadership team has the skills to execute it.
When can I start?
Complete the inquiry form to request your cohort dates. Cohorts are capped at 5 executives for personalized attention, so seats move quickly once dates are set.
