Mindshift Mechanics
Cohort 2 is coming in the future.
Read below to see what what was offered in Cohort 1, and sign up to receive notification when the second cohort is ready for purchase (you'll be first in line for early bird discounts!).

Everyone can now wield super-intelligent co-pilots—yet most will either let their agents think for them (and lose their edge) or send their agents to merely do work for them (Would you use Jarvis as a lawnmower?).
Mindshift Mechanics is the third option.
It forges a brain (your brain) that takes command of AI, exploits weak signals before the herd, and turns every new tool into compounding leverage.
Ready to partner with AI—without outsourcing your mind?
What you get
A three-week mind-shift
You’ll spend six live workshops rewiring the way you observe, think, and act. Expect to feel the click when “I hope this is a good idea…” turns into “I know it’s the right move.”
A guided metamorphosis
Every lesson weaves in methods to question and learn about yourself—not just your data or the world around you. By the second week you’ll see where you’re strong, where you fake it, and how to turn both of those categories (and more) into scalable leverage.
A toolbox you can hold
You won’t just talk systems. You’ll receive ready-made agents—and learn how to fork and wire them into your own stack. Ten Mind Movers of modular brainware snap together into larger flows whenever a tough call appears.
A live insight factory
Using the Precasting methodology (I'll build an example implementation in front of you), you’ll have an Actionable-Insight Factory:
Assumptions + Drivers → Cascading consequences → Indicators → Bayesian branches that you update when the world twitches.
Who the course is for
The course has been designed with solopreneurs, consultants, and small teams in mind, but anyone hungry to learn and grow in the Age of AI will find themselves right at home.
If you're battling… | Mindshift Mechanics gives you… | How it helps |
|---|---|---|
Hype Fatigue - A constant stream of "game-changing" AI drops that drain focus and energy | Filtered Focus framework | Cull distractions and channel attention to what really matters |
Analysis Paralysis - Too many variables, too much data, no confidence in decisions | Mental Movers & Precasting methodology | Snap scattered info and thoughts into a living system, compare branches by probability, act sooner and surer |
Identity Fog - If everyone has the same smart assistants, what makes you unique? | An actionable Cognitive Profile | Surface differentiating strengths & weaknesses so your work (and mind) can’t be cloned |
System Sprawl - Your tools and tasks sprawl; You can't see the next right move | Adaptive Cognitive Playbook | Gain a comprehensive understanding of what your Cognitive Ops Stack needs |
Platforms and requirements
The content of the course is designed to be tool-agnostic and applicable across any software stack. Having said that, materials, demonstrations, and instruction will be provided using Tana and OpenAI resources. Additional platforms may be added at the instructor's discretion or at student request.
There are no technical requirements to take the course. Regardless of the material, instruction will be approachable for all levels of skill and education.
Course format
3 weeks - 6 live lessons (90 minutes each) - 6 "Office Hour" clinics (60 minutes each) - All sessions recorded
Course schedule
LESSONS
Mondays at 2 pm Eastern US
Wednesdays at 3 pm Eastern US
OFFICE HOURS
Fridays at 12 pm Eastern US
Saturdays at 2:30 pm Eastern US
Each lesson blends Systems Philosophy, a Precasting build step, and hands-on personal asset development. The calendar will be finalized the week before launch. It will be optimized so that each student can attend at least one live touch-point every week, regardless of global location. Each week, there will be one lesson on Monday/Tuesday, a second lesson on Wednesday/Thursday, and office hours on Friday/Saturday.
The Office Hour clinics are dedicated to reviewing prior course material with students, who can ask any questions and receive tailored help on their individual projects. Whether during Office Hours or Lessons, Nick will typically be able stay late if students have questions at the official close of a session.
All session recordings will be available in the course's Slack community for the duration of the course. At the conclusion of the course, each student will receive access to permanent storage of the course recordings. Additionally, the Slack community will remain active for 90 days to facilitate follow-ups and connections.
Constructing your Cognitive Ops Stack
The marquee arc of the course follows the build-out of a Precasting engine and student development of their own live assets.
System & Philosophy Lens | Precasting Build | Live Assets | Payoff | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Lesson 1 | CRAP in you IPODs™️ | Gather and Connect | Cognitive Profile - blueprint | Behind the silly acronyms is a useful mnemonic to always remember how to build powerful engines. |
Lesson 2 | Tech Progressions + We Are All Startups Now™️ | Find Patterns and Develop Theses | Cognitive Profile - extend | Turn raw knowledge into testable theses |
Lesson 3 | Emergent Systems Design | Define Drivers and High-order Predictions | Cognitive Profile - complete | Spot consequences and relationships others miss |
Lesson 4 | System Phases of Work | Indicators and Validation Events | Systems Audit | Track and update your model's accuracy over time |
Lesson 5 | Prep for the final lap | Branching Paths | Filtered Focus Framework | Weight parallel timelines by probability; Prune losers fast |
Lesson 6 | Macro Future Scan | Combining Models | Adaptive Cognitive Playbook | Develop an evolutionary roadmap with firm foundations and flexible execution |
Your toolbox of Modular Brainware
Mind Movers are superficially simple but powerful methods and frameworks that can be employed by either humans or agents to achieve outsized results in observation, diagnosis, execution, or any other aspect of work and performance. They can be leveraged on their own, or in groups to form immensely powerful systems of scalable thought engines. Each lesson introduces one or two of these compounding modules.
In this course, you learn far more than what each Mind Mover is. You learn how to apply them to ensure high performance of your agents and your mind, regardless of what the world throws at you.
Mind Mover | Super Power |
|---|---|
Beginner Brain | Strip jargon and rediscover core logic |
Binary Collapse | Force decisive judgment and commitment |
Stepwise Logic | Walk every middle step - no hidden leaps |
Focus Blinders | Give an isolated agent a partial view to prevent contamination |
Linear Cascade | Trace multiple cause-effect leaps for higher-order insights |
Limits as Magnets | Use hard boundaries in unconventional ways |
Univariate Lens | Reduce complexity to one metric so drift pops early |
Filtered Focus | A high-signal gauntlet to kill shiny distractions |
Bayesian Branching | Assign & update probabilities across forks |
Probing Extremes | Stress-test plans and ideas at 0× and 10× extremes |
