Master AI with a 7-Day Crash Course

(and join a Tribe of 250+ fellow innovators)

They say AI is changing everything, but I beg to differ.

Even with all the huge tech breakthroughs we’ve seen in the last year, human connection remains the most important factor in your business and career success.

That’s why the most successful innovators focus on finding or building a “Tribe” – a group of like-minded people who support you and challenge you to improve.

As you’ve probably noticed, you can’t always get this from family and friends. Despite their best intentions…

They’re not as into tech and AI as you, so they get bored or just listen to be nice
They don’t share your ambitious career and business goals – and they often prefer you take the lowest-risk approach
They may even be a little scared of AI – will it take our jobs or take over the world?

Your loved ones and old friends won’t be your tribe for your journey into the AI future. Even your colleagues at work may not be ready to join your new adventure.

But without a real, human connection, you’ll spend all day stuck in your own head – rather than learning, building and growing.

I asked 50,000+ Innovating with AI readers if they’d found their AI tribe – and I was overwhelmed by the response. Here are just a few of their answers:

“So far my tribe is just me – and my husband is tired of me talking endlessly about my projects.”

“I haven’t found my AI tribe. I know a couple enthusiasts, but I haven’t met anyone that’s into it as much as I am.”

“I’m a physician, startup cofounder, ex-Deloitte senior manager, and currently freelance consultant. At the moment, I’m the only one in my circle who is into AI.”

“I have not found a crew of like-minded AI enthusiasts, but would love to be a part of one.”

“My AI community involves my co-worker and I always talking about how we’re using it. We’re both actively looking at tools to help with the creative process. But, outside of work, I’m alone in the AI convo.”

“Rob, hook me up with a proper tribe. It’s just me and my Upwork developer 😑”

“Well, you nailed it. The closest enthusiast I can find currently is my 12 year old!”

The takeaway: You are not alone.

In fact, there are thousands of people just like you, diving head-first into the AI-powered future, but without a Tribe to support and guide them along the way.

That’s why I’ve created Innovating with AI Essentials – a unique opportunity to join 250+ members in active, insightful online communities dedicated to expanding your AI knowledge and network.

But community isn’t the only piece of the puzzle – I’ve also created a carefully curated 7-Day AI Crash Course so you can master AI in record time, without learning to code. And you can take it at your own pace – you have lifetime access to the entire video course curriculum.

These are the three pillars of Innovating with AI Essentials:

Master The Skills: My 7-Day Crash Course on becoming an AI expert without learning to code
Expand Your AI Network: An “always on” Slack community of 250+ AI enthusiasts where you can build lifelong friendships, network with fellow AI professionals, and launch the next chapter of your career
Always Up To Date: Live trainings on the newest advancements in AI every month. Always recorded if you can’t attend live.

We’ve crafted everything to be optimized, efficient and fun – so you can rapidly learn AI and expand your network even if you don’t have a lot of extra time on your hands.

“A teacher who makes complex challenges feel simple”

-Margo A., Entrepreneur

“Rob has this really clarifying way of explaining things – unlike other courses I’ve taken and instructors I’ve seen. He’s a great teacher, and he executes. He’s action-oriented, but the way he shows you what actually matters is so, so helpful.”

“Packed with insights…”

-Sonja S., Author

“I joined Innovating with AI, and it has been so helpful! The weekly updates from Rob are packed with insights, and I am gaining deeper knowledge about AI. Great team, great content!”

“Instrumental in helping me grow”

-Anthony Y., Digital Marketing Consultant

“Rob’s courses have been instrumental in helping me land deals, navigate the life of a self-employed consultant, and grow my business. It’s not just his experience that sets him apart, but his commitment to constantly improving.”

Hey, Rob Howard here.

You may know me as the founder of Innovating with AI. Or, you may know me as the CEO of HDC, a web development firm I founded whose software powers sites for Facebook and Intel.

You’re busy though, so here’s the TL;DR on the last 3 decades of my life:

I started coding in the ‘90s, when I was 12 years old.
That set me up for a career in tech and publishing, and I entered that world at the perfect time, starting my first company in 2005 – which meant figuring out how to thrive through multiple recessions.
Since then, I’ve sold startups, acquired companies, been featured in WIRED and TechCrunch, and worked with clients like Harvard, Marriott and The World Bank.
At HDC, my firm, there are no secrets: nobody gets paid more or less than their peers in the same role. Everyone gets a profit share – so they directly benefit when the company succeeds.

Personally, I feel fulfilled whenever I get to create an environment where everyone has all they need to perform at their best. Then, when we find ways to improve, as we always do, I strive to make our best even better. That’s what I do at HDC and it’s what I’ve been doing for the last year (at time of writing) here at Innovating with AI.
