“I'm terrified of AI. I don't know where to start.”

From paralysis to mastery in 12 weeks. This is what one nonprofit leader discovered, and what's waiting for you.

Every discovery call I take, the story is the same: leaders who know AI is non-negotiable, but who are terrified of getting it wrong.

30 minutes with a thinking partner. Beta cohort, Q4 2026.

“I walked in convinced this wasn't for me. I walked out with a 5-year strategic plan, three custom AI assistants, and a clear path to scale my impact without scaling my team.”

AND HE ISN'T THE ONLY ONE
“Structured AI assistants moved me from ‘doer’ to ‘approver.’ Executive bandwidth is now for strategy, not coordination.”
Executive Director, National Center for Education in Maternal and Child Health.
ACROSS SECTORS

We've partnered with federal agencies, municipalities, nonprofits, and private-sector teams.

The industries change. The framework adapts. The results are consistent.

Multi-Sector Validated
Why this works
“We've been conditioned for instant gratification. AI requires something different. It requires you to think deeper, iterate, and be comfortable with not knowing immediately. But for leaders brave enough to go slow first and go fast later, the dividends are extraordinary.”

Try the AI Interview

Thirty minutes, one real strategic challenge, and you'll know whether this resonates.

We're in active beta. You're not just learning about AI, you're testing the tool we built for executive thinking.

PATH 01 / 30 MINUTES

A conversation with the Solomon assistant

Bring one real strategic challenge you're facing right now.

  1. 1Ask the AI questions about your challenge
  2. 2See how it thinks through your problem
  3. 3Experience a sophisticated thinking partner
  4. 4Decide whether this kind of partnership resonates

It also helps me understand how you think, so I can design your custom journey around the problems you actually have.

Curriculum Timeline
  • Week 1: Interview and calibration
  • Weeks 1 to 4: Foundation, psychology, frameworks
  • Weeks 5 to 8: Building your custom AI assistants
  • Weeks 9 to 12: Strategy synthesis and organizational blueprint

Cohorts stay small because this work requires real attention, not a lecture hall.

Some leaders need to try first. Others are ready to commit immediately. This approach honors how you prefer to make decisions.

03 / THE JOURNEY

COHORT DETAILS
Format

Small cohort, maximum 12 leaders. Weekly 90-minute live sessions with Paige Bradbury, plus asynchronous build support.

Timing

Beta cohort launches Q4 2026. Next cohort Q1 2027.

Investment

$4,500Most participants fund this through organizational professional development or technology budgets. (See below for reimbursement support.)

04 / FUNDING
Making the business case

Most Leaders Don't Pay for This Themselves

The $4,500 investment is almost always funded through organizational budgets: professional development, technology innovation, or strategic planning allocations.

MOST COMMON
Option 1: Organizational reimbursement

Professional development or technology budget

We provide an executive justification brief with ROI projections, syllabus, and alignment to organizational priorities. Most participants receive full approval within one week.

SELF-FUNDED
Option 2: Tax-deductible professional development

IRC Section 162 deductible

For independent consultants, founders, and leaders funding their own participation, this program qualifies as a tax-deductible professional development expense under IRC Section 162.

The Window Is Open. But It Won't Stay Open.

Every leader I talk to feels what you're probably feeling: urgency mixed with uncertainty. The technology moves fast. Your competitors are moving. And you don't feel ready.

That's the point. The leaders who win with AI aren't the ones who had a technical background. They're the ones who were brave enough to start before they felt ready.

Andy was terrified. Six weeks later, he'd captured $20,000 in immediate value and mapped $62,224 annually.

Your first step isn't a commitment. It's a conversation.

You'll receive your interview link within one business day.
