Local AI | Small business | Practical setup
Local AI for founders and small teams
A quiet, local AI brain on your own machine. Eight short audio steps that take you from zero to a working setup.
Most of what people call AI today runs on someone else's computer. Your data leaves the building. Your tools change every quarter. Your bills grow.
This workshop is the opposite. Eight short audio steps that walk you through building a calm, local setup on a single Mac. The same blueprint I run for my own companies, broken into small pieces you can do on a quiet afternoon.
Who it is for
- ·Founders who want AI in their business but not in the cloud.
- ·Small teams who care about privacy and want to own their stack.
- ·People who tried ChatGPT, liked it, and now want their own version that knows their company.
What you get
·Eight audio steps, five to ten minutes each.
·A written transcript next to every step so you can read instead of listen.
·One small downloadable asset per step: a config, a prompt, a checklist.
·Lifetime access to anything you buy, restored by email at any time.

Questions
- Do I need to know how to code?
- No. Every step assumes a curious operator, not an engineer. You will copy a few lines into a terminal. That is the most technical it gets.
- What hardware do I need?
- A Mac with at least 16 GB of memory and 50 GB of free disk. An Apple Silicon Mac is strongly preferred. Step two helps you choose a model that fits your machine.
- Can I buy only one step?
- Yes. Each step is sold on its own. The bundle is just a small discount for taking the whole path.
