Dark still life on slate, the cover for the course How to Use AI Without Becoming Worse at Your Job

Practical, no fluff, built for people running a business. Every course is short, specific, and ends with something you have actually built.

About this course

Lean on AI for everything and you slowly forget how to do the work yourself.

Every task you hand to a model is a rep you don't take. Do that enough and the skill quietly fades: you can still ship output, but you've lost the judgment to tell when it's wrong. Most advice about AI ignores this trade-off entirely and pushes you to automate more.

This course draws the line between healthy leverage and self-sabotage. You run an atrophy test on your own habits, learn to outsource volume while protecting the reps that actually build skill, and treat the model as a sparring partner that pushes back instead of a ghostwriter that thinks for you. A weekly real rep keeps the muscle you depend on from going slack.

What you'll learn

  • See the trade off between leverage and skill decay
  • Run an atrophy test on your own habits
  • Outsource volume while protecting the reps that build skill
  • Use the model as a sparring partner rather than a ghostwriter
  • Notice when you are faking competence you no longer have
  • Keep one real rep a week so the muscle stays
