No Judgment, No Jargon

Every session starts where you are — not where we think you should be. Whether you've never touched a computer or you're already using email and texting, the session is customized to your comfort level and goals.

Before the Session

When you book a session, you'll first have a free 15-minute phone call with Carl. This isn't a sales pitch — it's a conversation to understand what you're hoping to learn, what devices you use, and what concerns you have. Carl will ask questions like: "What made you interested in learning about AI?" and "Is there anything specific you're worried about?"

Based on this call, Carl prepares a customized session plan. If you want to learn about ChatGPT, the session focuses on ChatGPT. If you're worried about scams, the session focuses on protection. If you want both, we cover both. There's no one-size-fits-all script.

The Session Itself: What Happens in 90 Minutes

Your Session, Step by Step

1

Minutes 1–10: Getting Comfortable

We start with a friendly conversation. Carl reviews your goals for the session and answers any questions you have. If you're doing a screen-share session (remote), he'll walk you through how to share your screen. If you're meeting in person (Aubrey, TX area), he'll set up at your kitchen table or wherever you're most comfortable.

2

Minutes 10–30: Understanding the Basics

Carl explains the AI tools relevant to your goals — in plain English, with real examples. No jargon, no acronyms, no assumptions about what you already know. If you have questions, you ask them. If something doesn't make sense, we go over it again.

3

Minutes 30–60: Hands-On Practice

This is the core of the session. You do the work — on your own device, with Carl guiding you step by step. If we're setting up ChatGPT, you create the account, type the first question, and read the response. If we're configuring a voice assistant, you speak the commands. Carl doesn't do it for you — he teaches you to do it yourself.

4

Minutes 60–75: Safety and Protection

Every session includes a safety component. Carl walks you through how to recognize AI-powered scams, set up a family safe word, and adjust your privacy settings. This is the "protection" half of our 50/50 philosophy — because using AI confidently also means using it safely.

5

Minutes 75–90: Review and Cheat Sheet

Carl reviews everything you learned and gives you a written cheat sheet — customized to exactly what you covered. It includes step-by-step instructions, screenshots, and tips so you can practice on your own without forgetting anything.

After the Session

Within 48 hours, you'll receive your customized cheat sheet via email (or printed, if you prefer). Two weeks later, you'll get a free 15-minute follow-up call to check in, answer any new questions, and help with anything that came up during practice.

If you want to continue learning, you can book additional sessions — but there's never any pressure to do so. Many clients find that one session plus the cheat sheet is enough to feel confident.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions

1

Do I need to bring anything?

Just your device (phone, tablet, or laptop) and your curiosity. If it's a remote session, you'll need an internet connection. That's it.

2

What if I'm a complete beginner?

Perfect. Many of our clients have never used AI before. The session is designed to meet you exactly where you are. There's no minimum skill level required.

3

Can my spouse or friend join?

Absolutely. We encourage it. Learning together means you can practice together and help each other after the session.

4

What does it cost?

$95 for the full 90-minute session, including the customized cheat sheet and the follow-up call. No hidden fees, no subscriptions, no upsells.

5

What if I'm not satisfied?

If you don't feel the session was valuable, tell Carl during the session and we'll adjust on the spot. Your comfort and confidence are the only metrics that matter.
