How many tabs do you have open right now?
⏱️ Read time: ~2 min
A YouTube video you saved for later. A free guide you downloaded last month. Maybe a course you bought with the best intentions and haven't touched since.
I'm not judging, I do it too. We all do. There's so much good content out there, and the plan is always to get to it "when things calm down."
But things don't calm down. And the tabs stay open.
With AI, this pattern is especially common. People dabble on their own, hit a wall, don't get the results they were hoping for, and quietly conclude: "Maybe this just isn't for me. I don't have the time to figure this out."
But here's what I've noticed: it's rarely a time problem. It's often a doing it alone problem.
When you learn in a community, something shifts
In my AI Hive, we recently had a member bring a complex data analysis use case to a session. Honestly, it wasn't something most other members would ever need for their own work.
But everyone walked out saying they'd learned something valuable.
Not because of the use case itself but because of the approach. How to break the problem down. How to prompt strategically. How to decide what to hand off to AI and what to keep in your own hands.
That's what group learning does. You absorb ways of thinking you'd never have explored on your own.
Same thing in my AI Lab. One participant is currently building short talking pet videos; that's combining image-to-video tools, voice cloning, and AI-written scripts. Most of us will never need that exact workflow.
But watching how she moves between tools, how she uses ChatGPT to write the scripts, when to hand off between platforms, that's transferable to almost anything.
People are having fun. When you're in a room where people are experimenting, failing, figuring it out, and sharing what works, you're learning faster than you ever would alone. Even if the actual use case doesn't apply to your daily work.
Now challenge yourself: Think about one AI task you've been putting off because it felt too complicated alone. Now imagine working through it alongside a group of curious, like-minded coaches and consultants. Different, right?
Keep experimenting together

P.S. Speaking of learning together: my free 5-Day AI Agent Challenge is about to kick off, and at the time of writing, there are around 8 spots left. Each day has a short 15-minute video to get you started, but the real magic happens in the community and our live session together. If you want to explore AI agents in a fun, hands-on group setting, grab one of the last spots here.
