I have a challenge for you...
Yesterday we had a gloriously ☀️ sunny Sunday in London. Rather than going out for a walk in the park, I found myself in a dark room with 14 strangers cycling through a gruelling 75-minute endurance spin class.
At the end of class, our teacher mentioned he’s doing RideLondon (a 100-mile cycling race) next weekend, and a marathon the following one. Oh, and that’s just marathon 3 of 9 he has planned for this year 🤯
All this got me thinking about why we put ourselves through challenges like this.
Research from the behavioral economist Dan Ariely shows that what makes us happy and gives our lives (and work lives) meaning is challenge and achievement.
We may say happiness is drinking a piña colada on the beach, or sitting on the sofa watching the latest season of Bridgerton. But that’s not true happiness — that’s momentary pleasure.
True happiness comes from taking on a big challenge and taking pride in achieving it 🧗♂️
So.. what does all this have to do with AI?
Many of you have given me feedback over the last 6 months that you can’t commit to the Carve AI course. I hear you, it’s a big commitment.
Equally I will only ever launch programs that align with my ethos to deliver lasting impact (no one-off webinars or stale content libraries here 🙅🏼♀️) ..and that requires a certain level of commitment.
So I’ve taken a really considered approach to finding the middle ground.
Today I’m excited to share with you the Carve AI Challenge — a lighter-touch quest to embed AI in your day-to-day in the month of June.
The Carve AI Challenge
Experts say it takes 10 hours inside an AI chatbot to really get value out of it.
This challenge is all about experimenting and building the daily habit of using AI at work — and logging a good chunk of those 10 hours.
The challenge in a nutshell
Use ChatGPT (or any AI chatbot) every single work day in June, for 10 mins/day
12 × bite-sized pre-recorded sessions
1 x live group kickoff session
4 x live group coaching sessions
A practical project, leaving you with a valuable asset you can use after the course ends (a prompt library or your own custom GPT)
A super supportive community to keep you accountable
Where you’ll be by the end of the challenge
By the end of June, you will:
Have a new AI forward mindset — thinking "could AI help me here?" every week and every day
Have a daily habit of using AI
Have significantly increased your confidence with AI chatbots
Know how to craft great prompts
Know hundreds of ways you can use AI chatbots at work — and have trialled out dozens of different use cases yourself
Have a new network of curious, forward-thinking assistants
Four weeks. Limited availability. Introductory price of £99 (excl VAT) | $129.
So.. are you ready to commit?
Hit reply if you have any questions, or need a justification template to request budget from work. And please share with any AI-curious friends.

p.s. take note: I’m offering two different time slots for live sessions to make this truly globally inclusive across time zones 🫶🏻 APAC, I’ve got you!
