In 6 months, there will be two types of leaders.
Those who built the capability to lead AI.
And those who are still pretending to understand it.
Which one will you be?
Leaders who hesitate are finding themselves with AI projects that delivered zero value.
While they're still “exploring options” and “building business cases,” their teams are using AI without governance, vendors are selling them expensive solutions they can't evaluate, and competitors are pulling ahead.
The cost of getting it wrong:
Pays for itself by avoiding one bad decision.

We build leaders who get it. Not leaders who fake it.
In 4 weeks, you'll get the roadmap you're missing, learn to spot vendor BS, and bring your team onboard with confidence—not hope.
You'll join 5 other leaders from non-competing industries who are done pretending and ready to lead. Real AI leaders. Not consultants selling theory.
By week 4, you'll have the capability to evaluate tools, delegate AI work, and roll out projects that deliver value—not hype. And a community that keeps you honest.
The three pillars of AI Leadership
True AI leadership sits at the intersection of strategy, technology, and people. We teach all three.

You're not learning from us. You're learning from them.
5 other leaders. Non-competing companies. Same pressure. Same deadline.
Every week you'll see:
- How they identified their bottlenecks (and learn from their mistakes)
- Which vendors tried to BS them (and how they spotted it)
- What's working in their rollouts (and what bombed)
- How they got buy-in from skeptical teams (real tactics, not theory)
This isn't a lecture. It's peer-to-peer problem-solving with leaders who get it.
“The value wasn't just Leo's frameworks. It was seeing how 5 other leaders solved the exact problems I was facing. That's what made this worth 10x the price.”
Operations Director

From “I don't know where to start” to “I'm the person they ask” in 4 weeks
You're not doing this alone. You'll work with 5 other leaders from non-competing companies—same pressure, same deadline, same goal.
Every week you'll see what's working for them, what's not, and how they're solving problems you're facing right now. This is peer-to-peer learning with leaders who get it.

- Measure the ROI so you have proof (not hope)
