How it works
How we’d work with you
Each session builds on the previous one, helping you steadily move from AI basics to practical organizational adoption.
Step 1 · 45 minutes each
Meet Claude + Getting Great Output
What Claude is, what it can do, and the prompting framework that separates "this is a toy" from "this just saved me half a day." We take a real 30-page document and handle it live, badly first, then well, so you see exactly what changes.
Step 2
Projects + Workflows
Give Claude lasting context so you stop re-explaining your company every time, then turn that into a weekly habit. We build a Monday-morning operations report live: three hours of work down to five minutes, with the ROI math done in dollars on screen.
Step 3
Building Things: Artifacts + Skills
Watch Claude build a working internal tool from a plain-English description, then package a process so it runs the same way for anyone on your team with one command. Plus an honest look at where DIY building gets risky.
Our record
Why Gnar?
“We weren’t just a project to them.”
Even now, they catch up and ask how the app is running, and not from a sales standpoint. They really care about our end-users.

Frequently asked questions
Still have questions?
Who is it for?
This AI workshop series is built for non-technical CEOs, CIOs, COOs, founders, and operators at B2B companies between $10-$200M in revenue who want a practical entry point into AI without needing a development team or prior technical experience. If you’ve been curious about AI but overwhelmed by the noise, this is for you.
Do I need technical experience?
No. This series is specifically built for non-technical business leaders and operators.
What do I need to get started?
You do not need technical experience, a development team, prior AI knowledge, or complex software setups. You just need curiosity and real business problems worth solving.
Is this really free?
Yes. All eight sessions are completely free to attend.
What if I miss a session?
Every workshop will be recorded and archived, so you can watch sessions back anytime after registering.
We’re also going to send out post-workshop materials to everyone that registers, which you’ll receive whether or not you attend.
Do I need to attend every session live?
No. You can attend live, watch recordings later, or move through the series on your own schedule.
What AI tools will be covered?
The workshop primarily focuses on Claude and practical business workflows built around it.
Is this focused on theory or implementation?
Implementation. Every session is designed around practical business usage and real workflows.
What will I walk away with?
Prompt Templates You’ll Actually Use: Frameworks you can apply immediately inside your business. A Working Claude Project: Build a project around your company during the series. Repeatable Workflows: Learn how to create systems your team can reuse consistently. An AI Rollout Framework: Understand how to introduce AI across departments without chaos. Peer-Level Conversations: Connect with other operators and leaders navigating the same challenges.
Who hosts the series?
Mike Stone, Co-Founder, The Gnar Company. Mike co-founded The Gnar Company in 2015. He works directly with B2B teams implementing practical AI systems, workflows, and internal tools. The Gnar holds a 4.8-star rating across verified Clutch reviews from clients ranging from growth-stage startups to enterprise organizations.
Why does this matter now?
According to McKinsey’s 2025 Global Survey on AI: 88% of organizations use AI in at least one business function, but only 39% can point to measurable bottom-line impact. This series is built to close that gap.
What does the last session cover?
What your engineering team is, or should be, doing with AI. How to assess that without being technical. And a concrete adoption framework so you leave knowing your next step.
