Freedom Builder Inner Circle

Put AI to work on something you actually need done.

Learn with me in live Labs, see how useful work takes shape, and ask questions as you try it yourself.

Between sessions, keep the conversation going in Signal and return to the training at your own pace. You can start learning before your OS is set up.

More choice over your work, your data, and your tools.

Freedom Builder OS beta and the training videos are included. Follow along inside Freedom Builder Labs to set it up and start using it, or choose optional personal setup with Joshua. Membership also includes the Signal group, 4 live Labs each month, a weekly insider letter, new AI skills, and the current resource library.

Freedom Builders is about becoming more self-reliant, with more choice over your work, your data, and the tools you depend on. We start with what you can use now, learn from real work, and build toward greater control together.

“You make it interesting, creative and practical.”

Kena describes getting value from the live sessions, written dialogue, and practical AI context, even when she can't attend every Tuesday.

“I am getting a lot of needed context for the AI material and how I can apply it to my personal and business life.”
“Even though I am not a techy, reading the dialogue from the Inner Circle helps me learn the language and concepts.”

See the decisions behind the finished work.

In our Freedom Builder OS series, we worked through setup, better questions, ways to review AI's output and methods worth saving for next time.

In the final Lab, we worked on a client follow-up email. We checked the context and voice, challenged the first draft and explored the next steps for an automation.

That's the kind of work you get to follow: the decisions, the corrections and the questions that come up while we're building.

4 live labs every month

You don't have to understand every tool to take part.

You can join with a project underway or a question you're still trying to put into words. Follow the discussion, try one useful idea and ask for help where you get stuck.

Live sessions let you ask questions as we go. The recordings and resources give you a way to return to the material when your schedule allows.

More choice over the tools you depend on.Joshua Hale leaning back at a teal-lit multi-monitor workstation

I want us to understand what we're using, where our information goes and what we can keep when the tools change.

We work with useful AI now and explore local and open-source options as part of that direction. The goal is to make informed choices about what serves your work and life.

  • 01Compare models by the job they can actually do.
  • 02Turn useful methods into reusable AI skills and workflows.
  • 03Keep human approval around people, money, publishing, and access.

ChatGPT Challenge · Video

“It takes hours away from sitting and thinking and redoing and how do I write this? What do I say? How do I say it?”

Karen Scott · Excerpt from the video transcript

“Hello, Joshua. And anyone that's interested in doing the Chat GPT Challenge. This has been wonderful. It's been so much fun. I have learned so much.”

AI Challenge

“The value I got felt unbelievable. I kept thinking, is this legal? Should I be paying someone extra for this?”

DaveAI Challenge member
AI course

“I transitioned from a novice with very limited knowledge and a degree of skepticism about AI, to someone confident and very impressed by the power of using these tools with intention.”

Matt WhittakerStructural Bodyworker

“What stood out most was his ability to make complex concepts accessible and actionable. His insights gave us a clear path forward and helped us understand how to integrate AI into our coaching practices without getting overwhelmed by the steep learning curve.”

Paulette DeckersCoach

“I thought I was familiar with AI. I discovered I wasn’t. I was using about 5% of what it can actually do.”

“What would take my copywriters six weeks, you achieved in minutes. The insights and detailed outputs are mind-blowing.”

Reviewed recordings and finished resources are saved in the Labs library. Live participation gives you the chance to ask questions in the moment; recordings let you return to the material on your schedule.
