Smarter Living Community · 4-Week Cohort
10 people max. Each session gets built around who's actually in the room — your level, your business, your bottlenecks. Ryan has worked with enough people to know that small groups get real results. Large groups get recordings.
ANY LEVEL
From White Belt to Orange Belt. Sessions adapt to who's in the room.
+ Yellow Belt training included as bonusThe Framework
The Smarter Living belt system maps how you use AI in your business. White Belt to Orange Belt — each level has a different relationship with AI tools, prompts, and workflows. You join the cohort at yours. The Yellow Belt training and AI Playbook come with every seat, so there's a shared foundation even as the sessions adapt to the group.
"I've tried AI a few times but haven't made it a consistent habit yet."
"I use AI weekly and have specific prompts and workflows built for my business."

Why Most People Stay Stuck
The Curriculum
Each session builds on the last. Every week you leave with something working in your business, not just notes to review.
Before Week 1, you get the AI Playbook as a bonus module — a template in Notion, Sheets, Airtable, or Google Doc with starter prompts already loaded. It ties into what you're already doing in the Smarter Living community so your cohort work and your SLC learning stay in the same system. You keep it after the cohort ends.
Bonus Deliverable: Your AI Playbook, set up and connected to your existing workflow.
Everyone starts from a different place — the first session gets the group to a shared working foundation. Pick one AI tool, go deep on it, and write 3 prompts specific to your business. Understand what makes them work. Use one before Week 2.
Milestone: 3 working prompts built around your actual business.
Move from individual prompts to a connected workflow. Chain AI tasks for one real business process — content, client emails, SOPs — and document it so it runs the same way every time. Run it 3 times before Week 3. Note what works.
Milestone: One repeatable, documented AI workflow for your business.
Bring your biggest bottleneck. We build a solution for it in the session, together. The work you do in Week 3 is specific to your situation — no one else in the cohort will build the same thing.
Milestone: A personalized AI action plan for your top business challenge.
Review your wins, troubleshoot what's stuck, and finish your AI Playbook. You leave the cohort with a working system. Four weeks from now it should be saving you hours, not sitting in a folder you forgot about.
Milestone: Complete, filled-out AI Playbook. Yours to keep forever.
What You Get
60–90 minutes each with Max. Live sessions, adapted in real time to who's in the room and what's actually coming up.
Direct access to Max for 4 weeks. When you hit a wall on something, ask — same-day response during business hours.
Assignments are built around your business and where you are. Two people in the same cohort will get different work.
Access to all current sessions plus every future cohort added. Keep learning long after Week 4 ends.
Also Included
Yours when you join — regardless of your starting belt level.
Bonus Module · Week Zero
A template in Notion, Sheets, Airtable, or Google Doc with starter prompts already loaded. Designed to plug into what you're already doing in the Smarter Living community so your cohort work and your SLC learning stay in one place.
Yellow Belt Certification
5 modules on foundational AI prompts. Every cohort member gets this. If you're already past Yellow Belt, it's a useful reference. If you're newer to AI, it fills the gaps.
Tool Selection Framework
A framework for choosing your primary AI tool and sticking with it. Something new launches every week — this helps you ignore most of it.
The Prompt Formula
The specific structure behind prompts that get useful output. Most people write prompts the same way they Google things — this fixes that.
Meta-Prompt
A master prompt that generates task-specific prompts for your business. Build it once in Week 1 and it handles the heavy lifting from there.
AI Passport
A document you paste into any AI conversation that gives it context on your business, voice, and goals. Stops you from re-explaining yourself every time you open a new chat.
Trusted Advisor
A configured AI setup that knows your business situation. Use it when you need to think something through and don't want to start from scratch every time.
Every seat comes with the full Yellow Belt curriculum — 5 modules, the AI Playbook, and a credential in the Smarter Living belt system. You keep all of it after the cohort ends. It's a starting point in the progression, not the finish line.
