The map from idea to a business you can run.
Short lessons establish the principles. Interactive work makes you apply them. Two 30-day missions turn the map into daily fieldwork: build your product, then market it.
Parts of the core path
Module 01Reset5 lessons
- 01Welcome to the lab
What this program is, who I am, and how to get the most out of it.
- 02The default path is broken
Why the school-job-retirement track stopped making sense, and what AI did to it.
- 03Reset your mental model
From 'job, some money, no time' to a system that buys your time back.
- 04Frame the goal: freedom, not a startup
Define what you actually want, and ignore startup advice built for someone else's game.
- 05The right kind of business
Lifestyle business: built to power your life, kept small on purpose.
Module 02The AI-age solopreneur5 lessons
- 06The new leverage: one person + agents
Code, content, and AI agents — the three layers of solopreneur leverage in 2026.
- 07What's now cheap, what's now scarce
Building got cheap. Attention, trust, and taste are what's scarce now.
- 08The one-person stack
Product, marketing, sales, support — one person covers it all, with agents filling the gaps.
- 09Principles
Freedom, control, value, and purpose — the rules that shape every decision.
- 10Untold truths
The long game, the loneliness, the failures — and why survivorship bias got worse.
Module 03Pick your bet5 lessons
- 11How to find your idea
Follow a need, not a passion. Start small and look where money already flows.
- 12Define your niche
Narrow until you're perfect for someone, not mediocre for everyone.
- 13Validate before you build
Use AI to research fast — but strangers paying or signing up is the only real proof.
- 14Small bets vs focus
Try many small bets. Double down when one gets traction. Don't hop every week.
- 15Pick ideas you can distribute
Anyone can build now. Pick ideas where you can actually reach the buyers.
Module 04Build with agents4 lessons
- 16Ship fast with AI agents
Scope ruthlessly, ship ugly but working, and let agents handle the build loop.
- 17Stay scrappy
Low burn, maximum effort when it counts, and work that doesn't scale — yet.
- 18Products vs services
Services trade time for money. Products decouple them — if you design for it.
- 19The AI leverage audit
Score how much leverage you're actually getting from AI — and where it's leaking.
Module 05Own your audience6 lessons
- 20Own your platform
Your site and email list are rented-land insurance in the AI flood.
- 21Be recognizably human
When AI fills the feed with sameness, a real person is the competitive advantage.
- 22Your email list is the asset
The one audience you fully own — and how to grow it with real value.
- 23Publish, consistently
Publishing on your platform builds the audience — system beats inspiration.
- 24Small receptive audience beats mass
2,600 people who care outperform 250,000 who don't.
- 25Your audience-building plan
Synthesize Module 5 into a 90-day plan you can actually execute.
Module 06Get found5 lessons
- 26SEO when AI does the answering
Search still matters — but the game changed. Here's what still works.
- 27Pick your channels
One primary channel, one secondary for repurposing — ignore the rest without guilt.
- 28Marketing that doesn't scale
At zero, unscalable marketing is your advantage — not a weakness.
- 29Use AI for marketing without the slop
AI is a great marketing assistant and a terrible marketing voice.
- 30Free stuff sells
Free content earns attention. Attention earns trust. Trust earns sales.
Module 07Sell6 lessons
- 31Marketing principles for developers
The psychology behind selling online — and why it's your moat now that building is cheap.
- 32The value ladder
Free → email → paid. Each step earns trust and filters who moves up.
- 33Pricing
Price on value, not time. Run the math before you pick a number.
- 34The models that work
Cohort, evergreen, ebook, SaaS — what fits a solo operator and what doesn't.
- 35Launching
Launches don't happen to you. You engineer them — warm up, open, close.
- 36Mistakes that kill sales
The traps that look like progress but leave you with a product nobody buys.
Module 08Run it6 lessons
- 37Design your business around your life
You get to choose the shape of the work — and change your mind when it stops fitting.
- 38Disconnect time from money
Products decouple your income from the clock — that's the whole game long-term.
- 39Kill your single points of failure
Design the business so one broken link — including you — doesn't take everything down.
- 40Make your hours count
Energy and elimination beat hustle — especially when agents handle the grunt work.
- 41The long game
Start playing. The only losing move is sitting on the sidelines.
- 42The 60-day product cycle
Use two focused 30-day missions to move from an idea to a product, then from a product to market evidence.
