What you leave with

Transformation,
from AI consumer to AI leader.

AI Clarity

An honest, unbiased picture of what AI actually is

Many leaders have heard about AI from everyone with something to sell or something to prove. What very few have had is an honest, unbiased picture of what AI actually is. That is what this challenge produces.

You cannot give clarity you don't have. The moment a leader has a clear, honest view of AI, the questions stop feeling threatening and become an opportunity for a great conversation. The people around them stop looking elsewhere for answers.

AI Fluency

Interacting with AI effectively, efficiently, ethically, and safely

Fluency is knowing how to work with AI as a leader. That means directing it, delegating to it, and knowing where it does not belong. The first thing fluency returns to a leader is time: real hours, on paper, that were being lost to work AI can handle. Most leaders find the number larger than they expected.

The leaders who are fluent in AI become the voice their world turns to. The people they lead start coming to them for direction, not just information.

AI Value

Profit and growth from AI, in the specific domain you lead

Every leader sits on top of problems their world has accepted as normal. Bottlenecks that have gone unsolved because no one had the tools or the clarity to solve them. AI changes that. This challenge gives you the framework to identify which of those problems is yours to lead, or which new opportunity AI has made possible that no one has discovered yet. You leave with this discovery and a roadmap to help you get there.

For leaders with responsibility, influence and resources, exploiting AI Value is a rewarding experience. It's no more about how much you know, but how much you can leverage from the access you get in the AI stakeholder ecosystem.

This challenge is for

Leaders with responsibility,
influence, and access to resources.

Responsibility means you have initiative and accountability. Influence means you have people who listen to you. Resources — or access to them, directly or indirectly — means you have the wherewithal to act on the highest level of value this challenge provides.

Responsibility · Influence · Resources

Chief

You set the direction. You do not need to run AI tasks yourself. You need to know what AI means for your domain, where the profit is, and what to tell the people who will build it for you. AISC gives you that clarity, that mandate, and the knowledge to monitor and govern what your team does with it.

Responsibility · Influence · Access to resources

Leader of Leaders

You are accountable in both directions. Above you, someone wants results. Below you, a team needs direction, and many of them are already using AI in ways you have not yet structured. AISC is where you get your hands on the tools, run the real tasks, and leave with a framework you can implement immediately and teach to the people who execute for you.

Responsibility · Building toward influence

Emerging Leader

You are doing the work. You often see what others above you are missing when it comes to AI. But no one has handed you the authority to lead it yet. AI Fluency is a career asset, the kind that earns trust, positions you for the roles you actually want, and gives you a foundation to build something worth noticing. AISC gives you the clarity, the fluency, and a declared AI position before anyone above you has thought to look for it.

The 7 Days

Four live sessions.
Seven days of decisions.

Each day builds on the last. Every assignment produces something you keep. No passive content. Only work that moves you forward.

Day 0Self-paced

Pre-Challenge Setup

Get access to the platform, finish onboarding, and prepare for Day 1.

Day 1Live

AI Clarity

Mindset, Meaning & Mechanics

You build an honest, unbiased picture of what AI actually is, not a summary from someone with something to sell. You learn what AI Fluency actually requires at your level, and leave with Michael Steve's Delegation Matrix: a new framework for deciding what to delegate and what to keep.

Day 2Live

AI Labs

Margins

You stop wondering and start experiencing. Live demos on real leadership problems show what AI can actually do. See exactly how much time can be reclaimed, then put it to work yourself, using AI directly on a real task.

Day 3LiveMilestone Task

AI Value

Money

You stop applying AI everywhere and start seeing where it actually moves the needle in your ecosystem. Map the real value, then declare the specific territory you will own. So AI becomes a strategic and profitable choice, not a trend you're chasing.

Days 4–5Self-paced

Milestone Review

You check your thinking against peers working through the same challenge. VIP and VVIP receive direct strategic facilitator feedback on their milestone task. So you move into the second half knowing your foundations are solid.

VIP: Day 5: 1-hour live Q&A with facilitator

Day 6Self-paced

6-Month Roadmap

Your 6-Month AI Stakeholder Roadmap is unlocked with an instructional video guide. It turns the territory you declared on Day 3 into a 180-day plan across three phases, built around your specific capability gaps, the people you need in your corner, and the standards you set for how you'll use AI.

VIP: 2-hour Roadmap deep dive + follow-up Q&A

Day 7Live

AI Governance

Ethics & Mandate

You close with the question most people avoid: what does it mean to lead responsibly in an AI environment? AI Governance, ethics, and the mandate of your position. You leave not just informed, but positioned.

The Toolbox

01 / 04

The challenge ends on Day 7. Your support doesn't.

Guides, Frameworks & Templates

Not everything lands fully in a live session. The guides let you revisit each session at your own pace and go deeper. As you execute your roadmap, you'll return to the frameworks and templates again and again. And when your team needs direction, you'll have something concrete to point them to.

Mini Apps

The Delegation tool helps you sort tasks into three buckets: what needs your judgement, what AI can handle, and where you should collaborate. The Margin Calculator shows you how much time AI is actually saving you, so you can decide where to reinvest it. The Territory Builder helps you find the problem in your ecosystem you're best positioned to solve, and gives you the clarity to start.

Roadmap

The 6-Month AI Stakeholder Roadmap moves you through three phases: proving you can execute, building leverage and allies, then extending your authority. Along the way it names your capability gaps, maps who you need in your corner, and sets the personal standards you'll hold yourself to.

The 6-Month Roadmap

180 Days

Phase 01Days 1–60

Clarity & Labs

Direction locked, assumptions tested, momentum built.

Phase 02Days 31–120

Implementation & Relationships

Leverage applied, value exchanged, position emerging.

Phase 03Days 91–180

Governance & Mandate

Authority proven, direction extended responsibly.

AI Labs

A platform built for leaders: instruction on setting up AI, directing it, and applying it to your domain. The fluency you built during the challenge deepens here as you execute your roadmap. Free access included with every tier: one month with General Admission, three with VIP, six with VVIP.

Request A Private Challenge

Run the challenge with your own group.

Designed for enterprises, organizations, leadership teams, and high-trust groups who want alignment, clarity, and decision confidence around AI, together. This is not a scaled version of the public challenge. It is the same foundational experience, delivered privately to support alignment as a unit and build collective confidence without external noise.

Option A

Multi-Tier Hybrid

A minimum of 3 VIP Seats combined with 5+ General Admission seats. Suited for teams where select members need deeper facilitator access and the broader group participates at General Admission level.

Option B

VIP Intensive

A baseline of 10 VIP Seats with no upper cap on enrollment. Every participant receives direct facilitator access and the full VIP experience from start to finish.

If your organization or high-trust group meets either condition, the challenge is delivered as a private, synchronized experience focused on your unique strategic goals.

AI Stakeholder Coaching

The Roadmap tells you where to go.
For some leaders, the guide matters more than the map.

The 6-Month Roadmap runs in three phases over 180 days: AI Clarity and Labs, Implementation and Relationships, then Governance and Mandate. Most leaders do not want to navigate that alone.

The AI Stakeholder Coaching Program is live group coaching: one facilitated session each week, alongside leaders executing their own Roadmaps. Your questions get answered directly, and your thinking sharpens as you watch other leaders navigate the same phases. Your fluency compounds. The territory you discovered in the challenge gets built.
