If “I’m good at ChatGPT” is your company’s AI strategy, you’re already falling behind.

AI proficiency alone at work isn't enough.  It's not just about tools or prompts.

It's about working up the stack - from tasks to strategy, judgment, and client relationships.

We've been driving Claude Code proficiency at Single Grain because we believe it's the future of work. 

Work is going to be more and more focused on strategic thinking and client relationships, not tasks. 

What we've been doing:

- 2-day full-day hackathons where people get into pods and build solutions that actually affect their day-to-day work
- Show and tell demos so ideas don't stay theoretical
- Weekly office hours to unblock people fast
- An internal Slack 'Claude Code help' channel where people can get help
- An 'AI working group channel' where people are sharing the latest news

Most importantly, we've made these mandatory. These take priority over all 'normal' work. That includes client work, sales work, etc.

Initially, I could tell there was resistance to this. Inertia is a very real thing in companies. As a leader, you must do everything to break this inertia. 

My wonderful team handled the logistics, and I just showed up to the show-and-tell section. Because of the initial inertia, I wasn't sure how the demos would turn out.

They turned out amazing. People were sharing real solutions that would save them hours of time each. People also started to connect the dots with their projects being able to combine with other teams' projects. I could see the wheels turning and, more importantly, I could see the excitement.

When demo day came, the results were undeniable:

- 3 hours per task saved on client reporting
- 12 hours per month saved per client on client strategy 
- An ROI calculator that quickly calculates how much revenue we'd drive per client based on the work that we'd do for them. This saved 5 hours per proposal.

But the bigger shift wasn’t the time savings.

People stopped seeing themselves as task executors.
They started seeing themselves as product builders, creating compounding leverage in service of our purpose: helping customers generate more customers.

This is where work is going.

Less execution.
More high-leverage thinking.
More exponential outcomes.

AI skill gaps are now knowledge debt.
The longer you wait to pay it down, the more interest you’ll owe.

I shared a short show-and-tell recap below so you can see how we approached it. This is just a starting point.

What’s one concrete way you’re making AI adoption real, not optional, inside your company?

Ranking in the Age of AI: The Playbook for 2026 and Beyond

The SEO content game is DEAD.
Or is it?

Most SEO teams are still optimizing for a world that doesn't exist anymore.

AI Overviews, Gemini, ChatGPT, Perplexity, and other answer engines are completely rewriting the rules of search. The marketers who aren't optimizing for these platforms are getting left behind.

The winners? They're building AI-first content systems, scaling without sacrificing quality, and driving real revenue in 2026 and beyond.

In this live session, I'm breaking down:
• If the SEO content game is dead
• Where to allocate your SEO budget today
• The new levers that actually move traffic and conversions in an AI-first world
• The exact playbook to show up in Google's AI Overviews, ChatGPT, and more
• How to future-proof your SEO strategy with scalable systems + AI workflows
• Real examples of what's working (and what's dead)

If you're still relying on 2022 tactics, you'll be invisible in 2026.
