Zero to AI: Season 2
You’ve spent years building expertise in your field. Now it’s time to multiply that expertise with AI. Over 12 weeks, you’ll move from “I don’t know where to start” to building working AI systems, dashboards, and assistants—hands-on, no fluff, designed for people who are already good at what they do.
Learn. Build. Grow.
Every episode of the Zero to AI podcast is more than a story — it’s a step in your journey.
Each week, you’ll listen to real conversations and reflections about learning AI as a mid-career professional, parent, or business owner. Then, you can go hands-on with the accompanying blog article, which contains the full verbatim transcript of the episode plus all the practical tools, code snippets, and templates to help you build your own AI systems — one step at a time.

Zero to AI – Season 2
Season 2 moves from learning tools to building undeniable proof. Over 12 weeks, you shift from understanding AI to being the person your network recognizes for using it effectively. The journey splits into three four-week blocks: Evidence (weeks 13–16) focuses on creating portfolio-worthy proof through signature projects and efficiency audits; Visibility (weeks 17–20) is about making yourself known as the AI-capable person in your organization or network through testimony and thought leadership; and Transition (weeks 21–24) converts that capability and reputation into concrete opportunity—whether that’s a promotion, a role change, or momentum for your own venture. The format is deliberately flexible: each week you choose your commitment level (Minimum 60–90 minutes, Standard 2 hours, or Ambitious 3–4 hours), with three downloadable guide versions per episode. No new tools, no chasing platforms—just relentless application of what you already know, building momentum week by week until by week 24 you don’t just know AI, you have undeniable proof of what you can do with it.
