Implemented what I learned that weekend, saving hours of time
"I recently did the 'Claude in a Day' Adelaide Workshop with Ryan Drake. AI/Claude was a skill I was wanting to learn this year, and I knew I'd learn it so much faster with the help of someone like Ryan who is a whizz with AI and systems. What I loved about this workshop was working in a small intimate group, where we could be engaged, try things as we learned. There was so much to take in, but it opened my mind to all the possibilities on how to use Claude to make my life and business so much simpler. On the weekend after the training - I spent hours in my office implementing what I'd learned - saving me HOURS of time in the future! 10/10 recommend this training and working with Ryan. He's such a genuine guy, and a great teacher."
Daniel MarshallFinancial Coach & FacilitatorBlown away by how much we learnt in just a day
"Our team recently undertook a full-day intensive with Ryan and were blown away by how much we learnt in just a day. It already feels like I'm finding ways to create the software that didn't exist for our agency. Highly recommend!"
Sam SidneyFounder, Milkbar DigitalWalked out genuinely blown away by how much is actually possible
"I did the Claude in a Day workshop last week and walked out genuinely blown away by how much is actually possible. Ryan breaks everything down so clearly. I didn't think I could use a coding app until I went through this training, now I know how to use Claude and Claude Code efficiently across my life and my business. Honestly, every individual, every business, and every team should do a session with him. If you want to truly unlock what AI can do for you, Ryan is your guy. Highly recommend."
Sarah JeavonsModel, Actress & Winner of SAS AustraliaChanged the way I think about AI
"I did a six and a half hour AI deep dive with Ryan last week, and honestly it's changed the way I think about using AI in my business. He showed me frameworks and little tactics I hadn't seen anywhere else, but the thing that really stuck with me was how patient he was. No question felt too small, he never rushed, and you could tell he actually cared about me understanding why something worked, not just how to do it. I walked away with a bunch of practical stuff I can use straight away, and a much clearer way of thinking about where AI fits in. If you're a business owner trying to get serious about AI, I can't recommend Ryan enough."
Addison ForbesFounder of Paidfunnels.com & Meta Ads ExpertAutomated a process that eats 5 to 10 hours a week
"Ryan's workshop was genuinely useful. No fluff, no theory for theory's sake. He focused on the actual problems I was dealing with and, by the end of the day, had helped me automate a process that typically eats 5 to 10 hours a week. Beyond the practical wins, his ability to cut through the current AI hype and identify what's actually worth your time is just as valuable."
Chris ChanExercise ScientistA system I can rely on daily
"Ryan was incredibly helpful in setting up AI in a way that actually works for real life. He took the time to understand both my personal and professional needs and tailored the setup so it genuinely streamlined how I think, plan, and work. The result has been more clarity, better organisation, and a system I can rely on daily rather than another tool that gets ignored. Ryan explains things clearly, without jargon, and makes the whole process feel practical and empowering. Highly recommend if you want to use AI properly, not just experiment with it."
Sammi CulhaneMotherCustom AI applications we now use with clients
"Ryan is a master of sales, marketing and automation. He helped us understand how to leverage AI to supercharge our business efficiency and create some custom applications that we can now use with clients."
Lachlan NicolsonBusiness Strategist & Founder of Waymaker FinanceCreated and implemented a lead magnet within a couple of hours
"I attended an incredibly insightful AI training that completely expanded my understanding of what's now possible with AI for business growth, content creation, and systems integration. I was blown away by the range of tools and software currently available to help create, automate, and streamline almost any idea. Within just a couple of hours, I had already created and implemented a lead magnet for my business, something that would have previously taken me days or weeks. This training gave me not only practical skills, but also a whole new level of confidence in navigating the future of business with AI. It made me realise how important it is to learn how to work with AI as a powerful partner rather than simply seeing it as a tool. I now feel far more empowered, ahead of the curve, and excited about the possibilities AI can bring to my business and creativity."
Lahaina DaudtPhotographer & Confidence CoachDeveloped my own app to use with clients
"I recently did an AI Deep Dive session with Ryan and it was incredible. I have now been able to develop my own app which I can use with clients which will streamline the workload for them. Thank you so much Ryan. I couldn't have done it without you."
