00 / Live series · Fire Yourself
Stop being your company’s API.
Find the repetitive work that keeps flowing through you, redesign the workflow, automate it with AI, and leave with one automation actually running.
Fire Yourself is a hands-on operating workshop for founders, operators and lean teams who are tired of being the manual glue between every tool, task and decision.
No “50 AI tools you should know.” No prompt theater. Bring real work.
01 / What happens
One workflow in. One working system out.
01
Find the work to fire yourself from
Audit repetitive, high-friction work and choose the automation with the highest practical return.
02
Map the real workflow
Inputs, decisions, handoffs, tools, failure points and the human judgment that should stay human.
03
Build the automation
Connect the right AI and automation tools around your actual process, not a fake demo workflow.
04
Test it like an operator
Run the workflow, catch failure cases, define escalation rules and know what to automate next.
02 / The point
The goal is not to replace people with AI. It is to stop wasting human judgment on work a system should already be doing.
03 / Upcoming
We run this twice a month.
Current sessions are below. If these dates don’t work, get notified when the next ones open.

04 / Who it’s for
Bring a bottleneck.
- You repeatedly copy information between tools.
- You are the person who remembers every follow-up.
- Your intake, research, reporting or admin still depends on manual glue.
- You use ChatGPT or Claude constantly, but the work still starts with you every time.
- You have a small team and cannot solve every problem by hiring another person.
- You want an operating system, not another pile of prompts.
05 / Built to ship
This is a working session.
80%
of AI Founder Playbook participants shipped an MVP, implemented an AI workflow, or advanced their career. The method is built around producing evidence and working systems, not passive learning.
06 / Teams + accelerators
Bring the whole operating mess.
Fire Yourself can run inside an accelerator, company, university or leadership off-site. We collect workflows in advance, group the room by automation pattern, and turn the session into a practical operating sprint for your organization.
07 / Before you come
Bring one thing you are sick of doing manually.
You will get more out of the workshop if you arrive with a recurring workflow, the tools involved, a few real examples, and permission to change how the work gets done.
FAQ
Do I need to code?
No. The workshop is designed around systems thinking and practical AI-native execution. The technical path depends on the workflow you bring.
What tools will we use?
Whatever best fits the workflow. The point is not loyalty to one automation platform. You will learn how to choose the stack based on the job.
Is this only for founders?
No. It is useful for operators, consultants, executives and lean teams who own repeatable work and want to redesign how it runs.
Can you run this privately?
Yes. Private editions can be adapted for accelerators, companies, universities and leadership teams, including intake and workflow mapping before the live session.
