Here's what we're doing in the first 6 weeks of the Agentic Society:

Starting in October, I'm working with a small group of owners and operators to put AI agents to work inside their businesses.

At the Mastermind, you saw what one well-built agent can do for a team.

Now we install that inside your company:

First, the Company Culture Playbook for AI-First Businesses. The frameworks and routines that empower non-technical teams to build great things with AI. Rewiring how you work matters more than the tech.

Next, we maximize your productivity. Everyday AI workflows and automations: all the tools I use daily, connected, so you see a day in the life of an Agentic CEO.

Then, your AI Company Brain. You clone our Google Drive template, so Claude, Codex or any AI tool knows accurate details about your company: products, pricing, market, employees and more. With every call, email and document, your business keeps its IP and gets smarter.

On top of that foundation, we build AI Agents. We pick the job that eats the most hours in your week and build an AI Employee to do it, so you can grow your revenue without automatically growing headcount.

The class kicks off October 30th, and I'm choosing the group this week.

This page covers how it works, who it's for, and what we'll build together.

I'm going to work with a small group of founders to become Agentic CEOs in 2026.


Here's the plan...

The goal is simple: grow your revenue without growing your headcount.

  • An AI workspace your whole team actually uses,
  • A Business Brain that remembers everything your company knows, and
  • AI Employees doing real work, every single day.


More output. Less busywork. And your time back.

I run the Agentic Society on the same agents we teach: our event recaps, follow-ups, project tracking, and even this website are built and maintained with AI agents.

Every month, 20 to 40 owners fill the room at our Mastermind Mixer in Austin to show what they've built with AI agents.

And every month, members bring their real business problems to the in-person AI Boardroom and leave with something working.

We're helping founders turn AI from a tab they open into a team that works for them.

And in 2026, it could be your turn.

The room is only as good as the people in it, so we only take on members we know we can help.

It's a small group, so I'm picking for fit.


This won't work for you if you...

  • Want AI to be magic you never have to learn.
  • Are waiting for the tools to "settle down" before you start.
  • Want someone else to build everything while you stay out of it.
  • Plan to buy a seat and never show up to build.


But if you...

  • Run a real business, with customers, a team, and processes worth automating.
  • Are the one who makes the decisions in your company.
  • Will block time to build, and bring your real work into the room.
  • Know AI won't replace you, but a CEO who uses AI might.
  • Want a business that gets bigger while your calendar gets lighter.


...This could be the quarter everything changes!

We'll do it with the right mix of private AI strategy onboarding with me. A custom roadmap. 100+ pre-built AI skills. The 90-Day fast-track. And a room full of operators building the same things you are.


The plan is simple:


Phase 1: Your First 30 Days — Foundations and a First Win
The first month is tactical. The goal is an AI Employee doing real work, fast enough that you feel the return on your calendar before your first sprint is over.

We start with a private AI strategy onboarding with me to set your 90-day goal and pick the highest-leverage places to put AI first.

Week 1 is the Company Culture Playbook. Week 2 is your everyday AI workflows and automations. Week 3 is your AI Company Brain setup, so every agent you add already knows your offers, your customers, and your voice. Then you build your first AI Agent.

You'll have the Agentic OS, 100+ pre-built AI skills, so you never start from a blank prompt. Between the weekly Tuesday calls and our AI advisors in Slack, we'll keep shipping until your first agent is live and working.


That's Phase 1: foundations in place, a first agent on the job, and hours back on your calendar every week.


Phase 2: Strategy & Growth, with the AI CMO

Now that your foundation is set and your first agent is working, it's time to get strategic. From week 6 to week 12, we install the AI Marketing Engine in your business.

  • We'll start by finding your biggest bottleneck: the one job that eats the most hours, or stalls the most revenue, in your business right now.
  • Whether that's filling the pipeline, following up faster, or keeping the team on track, we've built and tested agent playbooks with our members:
  • To generate leads, we'll install social media growth, a Meta ads agent, lead gen & inbound marketing skills, email & SMS outbound prospecting, and SEO.
  • To turn leads into booked calls, we'll install an AI sales setter that qualifies and follows up in minutes, not days.
  • And to keep the business running smoothly, we'll add an AI chief of staff, project manager, and bookkeeper that keep you and your team on track.


Every business runs on the same fundamentals, but no two are built alike. So we'll map out a custom AI roadmap for your team, your tools, and your market.

No generic prompt packs here.


So, Phase 2 gets you a clear roadmap, and more AI Employees on the payroll.


Phase 3: Scale

  • After your first 90 days, you keep the momentum: we set your next goal, choose the next agent to build, and keep adding AI growth playbooks you can install.
  • You'll be in the monthly in-person AI Boardroom at our Austin HQ, bringing your real problems to a room of operators and AI experts, and leaving with builds that work.
  • We meet on weekly Zoom calls every Tuesday, and our AI advisors and the community are in Slack, so you're never building alone. PLUS: two 2-Day AI Hackathons a year in Austin.
  • We've got a playbook for almost everything. You'll install ready-made agents for marketing, sales, and operations, so you don't have to reinvent the wheel. Just add your context, and your business gets smarter every sprint.


You'll also have me in your corner on strategy, and experienced builders reviewing your agents. And if you get stuck, a quick post in the community will get you unstuck and moving again.

We make it easy to get started and see ROI fast.

The October class kicks off October 30th at our Member Kickoff, where we'll build your roadmap and pick the first agent you'll ship together.

The investment to join Agentic Society is $6,000 for the first 3 months, paid when you join. That gets you access to everything and puts you on the 90-Day fast-track series to building an AI-powered company.

After the first 3 months, membership continues at $2,000 a month with no contracts. You stay as long as you're loving it and building.

The community is full of sharp operators building real businesses, and I hope you call it home for years.

It costs less than your next hire.


And it's backed by our Do The Work Guarantee.

The Do The Work Guarantee

We put a guarantee behind this because we know the program works. Complete at least 75% of the video trainings, and if your first AI Employee isn't live by the end of your 90-day sprint, our AI advisors will work with you privately until it's working.

All you have to do is show up and build.

Here are the quick facts

  • One membership: $6,000 for your first 3 months, paid when you join
  • Then $2,000 a month, with no contracts
  • Add teammates for $500 a month per person
  • Backed by the Do The Work Guarantee


Like I said, it's a small group, and I'm looking for the right people.


So if you...

  • Own or run a business with real customers and a team behind it
  • Can join us in Austin for the AI Boardroom and the hackathons, or build with us online
  • Can block a few hours a week to build with AI, starting this month.
  • Are curious and coachable.
  • And don't mind a founder who gets a little too excited about AI agents.


We kick off October 30th, so if this sounds like you, and you'd like to build with me:

Step 1: Click here to apply for a seat in our October class.
Step 2: Book your 30-minute audition call with me, and we'll get you onboarded.

P.S. As soon as you join, you'll get the Agentic OS: 100+ pre-built AI skills that
