FAQ For AI Thought Leader School

Since officially launching the AI Thought Leader School last Friday, I’ve gotten a lot of questions…

Here are the TOP 4 questions I keep getting asked:

1. What exactly is the AI Thought Leader School?

2. How's it different from Blockbuster Blueprint?

3. What's changing with my current Blockbuster Blueprint membership?

4. I’m interested, but I can't afford it. Any other options?

Let's tackle them one by one...

Question #1: What exactly is the AI Thought Leader School?

The AI Thought Leader School is your complete system for being on the frontier of leveraging AI to:

• Create blockbuster content that transforms you

• Is fun to create

• Establishes you as the recognized expert in your niche

• Builds a wealthy livelihood for you and your family

• Maximizes your impact on the world

More specifically, it offers 30 90-minute, stand-alone, live courses per year across three essential tracks:

• AI Blockbuster: Create blockbuster articles at 5x the quality and quantity with AI.

• 6-Figure Prompt Newsletter: Build a 6-figure newsletter built around AI prompts.

• Human Superintelligence: Explore the frontiers of human potential with AI.

The school creates two new membership tiers beyond the existing free and basic paid plans:

• Premium ($2,700/year)

• One-on-One + Group Mastermind ($10,000/year)

Question #2: How's it different from Blockbuster Blueprint?

Let me make this crystal clear:

• Blockbuster Blueprint = 3 weekly prompts + 30-minute on-demand walkthroughs + perks

• Thought Leader School = Small-group, live classes with the most committed AI practitioners on the planet

These classes are intimate.

You get tons of personal attention.

And you're surrounded by people who are equally obsessed with mastering this stuff.

Below is a summary of the paid tiers and what each includes:

Question #3: What's changing with my current Blockbuster Blueprint membership?

Here's how each change benefits you:

1. Expanded offering: What began as a single course (AI Blockbuster) has evolved into something much more comprehensive – three full tracks with 30 total courses throughout the year.

2. Enhanced basic membership: As a basic paid subscriber, you'll now receive triple the value with 3 new prompts every week (one from each track), along with comprehensive supporting materials for each prompt.

3. Focused class access: The first 30 minutes of each class recording has been specially designed as a standalone experience. You'll get a thorough walkthrough of that week's prompt without any of the introductory meet-and-greet segments.

4. Same educational time, more variety: While you won't get the full 90-minute class recordings, you'll receive the same total amount of on-demand educational content, but across a wider range of topics and skills.

5. Still offering other bonuses: You’ll still get access to all of the paid perks. I’ll still be writing occasional blockbuster articles. For example, I’m putting the finishing touches on an article about AI second brains. I’ll still be sharing my book chapters and prompts. I’ll still be doing podcast interviews. I have a great one in the hopper with Eben Pagan that I will post soon.

6. Still doing occasional pop-up live classes like I did on Human Superintelligence and Video clip curation last year.

7. No longer offering live courses with the exception of Augmented Awakening, which will still be offered live until the end of 2025.

Overall, I believe this restructuring offers significantly more value while maintaining the core benefits you signed up for.

Question #4: I’m interested in the AI Thought Leader School, but I can’t afford it. Are there any options?

I’ve decided to open up three ways to make the $2,700 Thought Leader School more affordable:

• PPP Adjusted. If you want to join the Thought Leader School, but the Purchase Power Party in your country is the only thing stopping you, then send me a direct message with the country you’re from. Then, I will calculate the PPP using the International Monetary Fund website and send you a special discount link. To simplify things, this offer only applies to countries where the difference between the US and your country is more than 2x. And, I’ll only be doing this offer until Friday, May 16.
  

• Payment Plan. I will be offering a $275/month payment plan. This increases the total cost of the program by $600, but it makes it more affordable on a month-to-month basis.
  

• Barter. I’m looking for 10 people to provide me feedback on the prompts I create before each live class in return for participating in Thought Leader School for free. Below are more specifics:

  • I'm planning to do roughly 120 live classes for Thought Leader School.

  • I’m looking for ambassadors to give feedback on the prompt for each class.

  • Each prompt will go through multiple rounds of feedback.

  • I’m looking for feedback on the following:

    • Copying and pasting my prompt into AI

    • Sharing your output back with me (helpful for cases where the response is based on AI's memory of you)

    • Rating the quality of the response (1-10)

    • Giving your thoughts on the response in a few sentences

    • Proposing iterations/updates to the prompt (if you have them)

  • I would guess that it would take 10-15 minutes of your time per iteration.

  • I would ideally appreciate feedback within a few hours during business days on average.

If you’re interested in either of these options, send me a direct message with more details:

Premium (Thought Leader School)

You get all of the benefits of the basic tier in addition to:

1. Full access to all of the live classes. This is a $10,000 value based on what I have charged for the past five years for my flagship annual program, which includes 3 90-minute classes per week.

2. Access to all of my previous, evergreen foundation classes. This is a $6,000+ value, based on the price that each of the programs cost alone:

   1. Learning Ritual: Learn how to 5x your learning speed and quality while remembering more (refined over 2 cohorts).

   2. Seminal: Learn how to create blockbuster articles (refined over 5 cohorts with 25+ hours spent creating and improving each class)

One-On-One

You get all of the benefits of the first two tiers in addition to:

#1. One-on-one feedback from me.

Get unlimited, personalized, laser feedback from me on your prompts, content, or thought leadership strategy via voice messages.

#2. Prompt feedback mastermind.

Testing and getting feedback is the most essential key to rapidly improving content once you have the fundamental thought leadership skills. That’s why I’ve performed 4,000+ title tests, and I get feedback from multiple people before I publish every article.

The problem is that getting feedback on longform articles is hard. It takes an hour and a lot of expertise. Prompts changes the game. Giving feedback on a prompt takes just a few minutes. What this means is that you can get fast feedback and double the value of your prompts rapidly.

In this exclusive mastermind group:

1. You give feedback on each other’s prompts and build deep relationships over the course of the year.

2. You connect with other members in a WhatsApp community where you can share knowledge and ask questions.

3. Get to know each other on quarterly calls.
