Today I'm excited to announce the next chapter of @100schoolHQ 👀 Quick backstory (bear with)… Every founder has that moment when the data is screaming at you, but you're not listening. Mine was 2 years ago. 100 Days of AI got 3x the learners of everything else we'd built. Literally overnight. The message was clear: AI is the future My response: "Let's keep teaching no-code ALL the tech skills too" 🤦 Part of me is annoyed at myself for not having the foresight. But more of me knows that being late is our superpower. While everyone rushed to market with "ChatGPT 101" courses... We watched. We studied. We learned. We discovered why most professionals are stuck using AI like a better Google. Why they're drowning in tutorial hell. And how the top performers operate differently. They don't just use AI better. They've restructured their *entire* professional operating system around AI. Today, 100 school is going all-in on AI education. I promise not to teach you another shiny tool. But to help you become an AI-first professional (and eventually a 100x one) The hype cycle is over. The real work begins now. Start your AI-first journey in September (link in comments) Once you’re in, help us spread the word pls & thx: 1️⃣ Drop a 💯 repost 2️⃣ Tag someone we should team up with 3️⃣ DM me if you wanna support

100% AI adoption isn't the win you think it is. In most companies I'm in right now, AI use is wildly uneven. Engineers are flying. Sales dips in and out. Finance and admin haven't been given a reason to yet. Average it all out and you get a number that looks great on a board slide. 96%. 100%. Whatever round figure you want. The L&D leads I talk to are starting to feel it. They've hit the adoption number leadership asked for, and the work product hasn't visibly changed. Usage is up but the work isn't. What matters is what your team can do now that they couldn't six months ago. If you can't answer that, more licences won't fix that.

I don't think all these AI layoff headlines are helping anyone. Each one triggers the same wave of panic. So here's some stuff I think you can do to feel a bit more in control. Basically, keep panicking, or do these 👇 1. Look at the hiring data, not the headlines. PM openings are at their highest in 3 years. Companies adopting AI properly are hiring more people, not fewer (@lennysan). The panic is louder than the numbers. 2. Notice how your own CEO talks about AI. Last week, Intuit's CEO refused to blame AI for his 3,000 layoffs. ClickUp's framed his 22% cut as a 100x org manifesto. Your leadership's framing is doing more work than any AI training will. 3. Use AI every single day on real work. Marketers using AI monthly: 41% effectiveness gain. Weekly: 75%. Daily: 93%. The jump from weekly to daily is bigger than the one from never to weekly. (@asana × @AnthropicAI research.) 4. Download Codex and Claude Code. If you've been waiting for the right moment to get hands-on with the agentic tools, it's now. 5. Ask AI: "this was my job, how can you help me automate it with skills?" Best prompt going around right now (@clairevo). Maps your actual workflow into something AI can build alongside you. 6. Ship a few of those skills to Github. Even the rough ones. The point is having something visible that proves you’ve been doing the work. 7. Build a quick portfolio site. One page. An agent per skill explaining what it does. Lovable, v0, Claude Design. Pick one and ship it. 8. Search "AI for [your job]" and message the founders. There's probably 5-10 startups doing it. Try their product, form a real opinion, message them. They're hiring people with strong opinions. 9. Don't apply to a thousand jobs. Holly Lee, ex-Amazon/Google/Meta recruiter: when the market picks up, someone hiring you will ask "what did you do during that time?" You can't say "I applied a lot." Make whatever gap you've got visibly count. 10. Stop trying to have an AI strategy. Build an AI habit. The teams I've worked with that move don't have strategies. They have people who open Claude every morning and use it on the work that was already on their plate.

I’m excited to announce that @100schoolHQ is partnering with @Ocado, the world's largest online grocery retailer, to explore more ways they can implement AI to boost efficiencies in their daily work with their UK team, starting today. We’re deploying 15 Days of AI, our flagship enterprise product that drives measurable behaviour change in just 3 weeks. Every day for 15 days, employees rewire how they work with AI in less than 15 minutes. No teaching AI like it’s just another SaaS tool. No death-by-webinar. Just daily practice that compounds. This is what AI adoption looks like when you focus on habits over hype, frameworks over tools and cognitive skills over (just) clicking.

I've been living at @ns for the last month - 400 founders, creatives, freelancers all in one place. it honestly feels like eavesdropping into the future. here are some observations that I think are early signals of where things are heading...the MACRO TRENDS 👇 1️⃣ Everyone is building something. every single person here has a side project. an app, a course, a product. as AI shrinks teams and reshapes roles, more people will start building their own things. a few people are here are fresh from being laid off, now they are building. 2️⃣ the AI fluency gap is enormous. 84% of the world hasn't used AI at all. Most who have are using it as a chat assistant. Everyone here is deploying agents. There is a clear shift towards ai *doing the work*, not just talking about it with you. 3️⃣ Intelligence has a price tag. one person here has seven paid claude accounts. SEVEN. most have more than one. I was surprised at first. but actually, i think for most of us our imagination just hasn't caught up to what's possible with applying that much usage to our lives/work. it also emphasised to me that your ability to extract AI's potential depends on access - internet, devices, and how much paid usage you can afford. one account vs seven is a completely different capability. who can buy intelligence at volume is going to be one of the defining inequalities of the next decade. 4️⃣ taste is the new skill. The people here building the most interesting things aren't the most technical. They're the most opinionated about what good looks like. AI is downstream from your own perspective. Craft your point of view, your judgment, your taste, FIRST. 5️⃣ robots are already here. every day i watch people playing the chess robot in cafe. it may seem small but I think it's actually a peek into how AI will enter our physical lives. 6️⃣ fitness is infrastructure, not a hobby. Daily exercise, cold plunges, longevity routines. people here are projecting their health forward 20-30 years. Preventative over reactive. We're already seeing this shift... and it's going to reshape wellness / healthcare. 7️⃣ dense community is the antidote. In an ultra-connected but lonely world, people here chose physical proximity. shared meals, shared space, shared purpose. 8️⃣ agency is the throughline. The thing connecting all of this - the building, the fitness, the fluency — is agency. the biggest question for the next decade: how do you help more people find it? it starts with connecting people to meaning, to curiosity, to work that actually matters to them. this place isn't the future for everyone. but i think it's a preview for a lot more people than we realise. hope some of these observations spark something useful 😊

Noah Kagan just appointed a "Claude Operating Officer" at AppSumo. It made me laugh – and then it made me uncomfortable. Because every company @100schoolHQ has worked with in the last 12 months has this person. The one who got curious about AI, got good at it, and quietly became the go-to for everyone else. Except nobody gave them a title. Or a pay rise. Or even acknowledged it's now half their job. They just absorbed it. On top of EVERYTHING else. At first, that's fine. Informal champions experimenting, sharing tips, helping people get unstuck – that's how AI adoption begins. But companies keep scaling the expectation without scaling the support. More tools. More people needing help. Same handful of champions carrying the heat for free. Frankly that's a burnout plan, not an AI strategy. Companies that are actually getting somewhere are formalising this. Put it in their job description. Don't make it just some token title. Real hours. Real development. This is a REAL role, not "can you also do AI stuff on top of your day job" but "this is yours now, let's set you up for it." If your company has these people – and it does – stop hoping they keep volunteering. Start INVESTING in them. It's not just the right thing to do either. These people are simultaneously the folks who created initial momentum, BUT without investment will be the blockers to scaling your "ai-first" efforts. Who's this person at your company? they're doing gods work. Tag them. Tag yourself 👇

who is this at your company? name them. they are doing gods work

Hey friends, quick personal life update: i’ve moved to malaysia for a month with Network School (@ns ) Let me explain… Yesterday was 6yrs since i started @100schoolHQ from my bedroom during covid. I feel very grateful that i get to build a school every single day. But it's also an endurance battle and i realised in the haziness of being so busy at the start of this year, i drifted away from myself a little. Not in a super bad way but in a life is happening to me, everything is on autopilot kind of way. And in that, i’d lost my spark, the enthusiam to share anything on socials, to exercise etc... When i started reflecting why, it made total sense. All my life inputs have been GARBAGE My content diet (= doomscrolling on x), fitness diet (back injury), food diet (reactive cooking mixed with fast food), social (feeling too busy to build / nurture relationships), creative (no outlet for creative stuff outside of work) has all been trash to put it plainly. And just like with AI, it truly is: if you put garbage in, you get garbage out. duhhh! That meant: physical, mental, social & creative depletion for me. So i thought i’d send a shockwave to my system and totally flip my environment - and essentially “live” my way into a new feeling mentally, physically, socially and creatively. That;s where Network School (@ns) is super interesting… And it’s already started working by the end of week 1...I mean a week ago writing anything felt like looking up at a moutain. They’re essentially building a micro-city and what's very cool is they’ve designed it in a way where it’s hard: - not to be focused (coworking, everyone is a builder) - not to be fit (gym, burn sessions) - not to eat healthy (bryan johnson meals breakfast lunch and dinner) - not to feel connected (live next to everyone with similar goals in close proximity), - not to feel inspired (daily learn sessions with world class speakers). So here i am, who knows what will happen, but hopefully you’ll be hearin from me more, because outside ALL of this, the @100schoolHQ team has been building some amazin things that i feel guilty for not sharing (yet!!)

This went viral because he wrote what a lot of us in this space have been too careful to say out loud. We keep softening the message so we don't sound like doomsayers. But softening it is doing people a disservice at this point. The pace is genuinely unprecedented and the window to get comfortable with these tools is shrinking fast.

AI has finally caught up with the university system. Historically the market has always bet on the long term potential of university graduates. Shiny degrees were the cast iron signal for intelligence - which could be moulded into a set of tangible work ready skills. But more companies than ever are realising they can get equivalent to or greater than intelligence that outperform *most* entry level grads at a fraction of the price. So junior roles are literallly DISAPPEARING - and if you want one - you have to be EXCEPTIONAL. The bar is way higher now. Instead companies are investing in hiring more senior employees. A Standford 4th yr was telling me how he and his friends were struggling to land jobs - and these were some of the smartest in his batch. This is damning. The only signal that counts is your ability to add value NOW. - if you work at a university I BEG YOU to teach AI (properly) (dm me if you want help) - if you are a student and you're at university (especially doing a humanities degree) and they don't teach AI, you NEED to own your personal education (because no one else will) - if you are thinking of going to university, think vvvv carefully. 7 days is the new semester and the new degree is 30 days - so if you're going to spend 3yrs on learning something it BETTER set you up to add immediate value in the market. who is trying to solve for this? I would love to chat

4 months ago, I had a conversation that gutted me - and I was too embarrassed to share at the time. My friend Aaron was consulting for @100schoolHQ. What he found wasn't what I expected. Our bite-sized daily lessons (the thing I had cast iron belief in) weren't delivering the learning outcomes I thought they were. Poor drop-off. Weak transformation. The retention curve wasn't pretty. No joke, a part of me died inside hearing that 😅 it was basically hearing the one thing that made us good wasn't good anymore - then I'm thinking, what's left?? Email wasn't the issue - the lessons themselves were too text heavy, static, tool based. I had to swallow my pride and accept it. The worst part was telling the team "we need to stop, pause, and rebuild from scratch" only weeks away from a big July 1st launch everyone was knee deep prepping for. And I had no clue what *next* looked like. The new brief: reimagine and relaunch our learning experience by September. I'm impatient. Every part of me wanted to just LAUNCH in July. But I knew deep down we couldn't share something fundamentally broken (even if it gave us a short term bump). Today, one month post Sep launch with 7k learners & time to process - I feel proud of what our team built. I'm not excited by what we have right now (I know it can be way better) but I'm excited by where we're going. This feedback from the team at @get_headway (big fanboi 😍) going through 30daysofai told me we're on track: "I'm just heading back from the AI summit, and I can totally say that your learning path is the most cutting-edge and hands-on thing we could find" Bottom line: with AI moving so fast, it's tempting to rush to market. But sometimes going slower is the only way to go faster. Thanks for building with us 🤞

18 months ago I posted (properly) for the first time I was terrified I sounded stupid Here's what actually happened: Apr 24: First post below, joined 100DaysOfAI Nov 24: Freelance offers in DMs (teaching AI, guest posts, building apps) Jan 25: Ghostwriting requests coming in Jul 25: Turning down work, completely booked Sep 25: Full circle, landed my dream role as AI Education Lead with @100SchoolHQ Things I learned: Discomfort is the price of entry Learning in public is underrated Your expertise is worthless if nobody knows you have it

Getting ready to keynote for 100 big tech professionals in London, in partnership with the amazing @100schoolHQ @HainingMax 🥳 Go check out @100schoolHQ if you are figuring out your teams AI upskill!
