“My MBA is now worthless.” (And he meant it.)

Hey again,

This week’s story hits close to home.

A longtime friend of mine—college buddy, colleague, and just one of those people wired to think ahead—has been working with me 1:1 on AI training. Not in a classroom. Not with some cookie-cutter program. Just him, learning how to apply AI the right way: with guidance, specificity, and real-world application.

And the results?

ALL CAPS “WWWAAAADDDEEE, THIS IS INSANE!!!!!!” (His words, not mine.)

He’s building marketing plans. Business models. Polished presentations. All the foundational, game-changing work we cover in AI 101—he’s doing it on his own now. And he’s doing it faster and better than ever before, because he understands how to talk to AI, not just at it.

And then came the line that stuck with me:

This is from a guy who sacrificed nights and weekends mid-career to earn those three letters. And now? With the right tools and the right training, he’s getting sharper results in hours than what it used to take weeks (and tuition payments) to achieve.

Let’s be clear—he’s not saying education doesn’t matter. He’s saying this:
🚨 Applied AI knowledge is the new superpower.

Not just “using ChatGPT.”
But knowing what to ask. How to prompt. How to guide. How to build.

That’s what AI 101 is all about.

P.S. Your MBA isn’t worthless. But your ability to use AI might just be worth more.
