Hi Reader,Two and a half days. By Tuesday morning the founding price is gone — $297 becomes $497, and the direct-reply line I built into the founding stack closes with it. Let me make this clean. What Closes Monday Night Mon Jun 8, 11:59pm ET. Three things end at that moment: Founding price. $297 on AIS, $297 on Stay Sharp. Tuesday Jun 9 at 6am ET, both step up to $497 standard. The direct-reply line. Thirty days of “I’m stuck on this” email access to me — that’s the founding-cohort bonus,...

Hi Reader,The door’s been open since Tuesday. You wouldn’t know it from your inbox — no countdown, no “act now,” no three-emails-a-day. I wanted to tell you properly first. And this week I added something to the founding offer big enough that I want you to hear it from me, not stumble onto it at checkout. First, a pattern A productivity pattern you have to remember is a pattern you’ll eventually drop. Not because you’re undisciplined — because remembering is work, and work that depends on...

Hi Reader,Last Saturday I gave you the frame. This Saturday I give you the doors — names, prices, terms, and what each one installs in your business. Three days until Tuesday. Door One — AI-Powered Solopreneur Sales page: curiochat.ai/solopreneur/ai-powered (live now for browsing) The operating system for solopreneurs who use AI inconsistently and want real workflows in their real business. What you walk away with (eleven artifacts, not module counts): AI Fit Map + Opportunity Map Business...

Hi Reader,Last week the sharpness audit. Three weeks ago the ACM door. This week I want to step back further — to the two questions that frame everything I’m shipping ten days from now. Two Questions, Not One Every AI course I’ve seen tries to answer the same question: What can AI do for me? Faster output. More leverage. Better workflows. 47 prompts. 100 ways to 10x your productivity. The answers vary, the question is identical. It’s the wrong question. Or, more carefully — it’s half of the...

Hi Reader,Four days ago the ACM door opened on https://curiochat.ai/. Engineers walked in. The early conversations have been clarifying in a way I didn’t expect — and the pattern I’m watching inside that cohort has almost nothing to do with code. It has to do with you. What I’m Seeing The engineers showing up for ACM are not the ones I pictured. I imagined “AI enthusiasts.” What I’m actually meeting are mid-career professionals who are quietly worried that their own judgment is slipping....

Hi Reader,Last week I told you production-ready is a different sport. Wednesday, I open the door to what I’ve been building. The Door (Wednesday, April 29) Agentic Coding Mastery opens for enrollment this Wednesday. Two levels: Foundation — the system, self-paced. For engineers who want the framework and the discipline. → curiochat.ai/software-engineer/foundation Mastery — the system plus implementation, cohort, and guided review. For engineers who want to build it in their real environment,...

Hi Reader,Two weeks ago I told you I got out of the water. I should’ve warned you the next pool is deeper. The Other Pool Here’s what I didn’t know from shore: leaving the thing that was drowning me wasn’t the hard part. The hard part is what comes after, when nobody’s asking you to show up and the only person watching is you. I’ve spent the last two weeks doing two kinds of work, both heads-down, both harder than they looked from the outside. The first is code. I’ve been building the course...

Hi Reader,Last week I told you I was too busy drowning to learn how to swim. This week, I got out of the water. Wednesday, April 2nd was my last day at TD Bank. After two decades in banking, I walked out of a corporate office for the last time. No safety net. No “let me see how the side project goes first.” Done. I’m going all-in on Curio Chat Academy. Why Now You’ve been reading these emails long enough to know I don’t make impulsive decisions. I’m an Architect. I designed the exit before I...

Hi Reader, I spent this week at a mastermind in New York City. Twelve people in a living room. Flip charts. Strong coffee. Real talk. I went there to both to learn and to contribute. I came back with a phrase I can’t stop thinking about: Too busy drowning to learn how to swim. The Room Here’s what I noticed. Practically every person at that room teaches something they occasionally fail to do themselves. The mindset coach who’s struggling with confidence. The boundaries expert who said yes to...

Hi Reader, You might have noticed: no Saturday Reset for two weeks. I could give you reasons. They’d be true. But the real story is simpler — I broke my streak and my restart time was terrible. Which is ironic, because this week Iga Świątek — the former world’s top-ranked tennis player — had her own 73-match opening-round winning streak ended by fellow Polish player Magda Linette at the Miami Open. And the question everyone is asking is the wrong one. They’re asking “what happened?” The right...
