What it is
A curated, free-to-browse directory of entrepreneurship events: AI boot camps, workshops, classes, hot seats, conferences, summits, webinars, and networking. Browse a calendar grouped by month or a full catalogue table, and filter by category and format. Includes Unleash Your Ideas events (the AI-to-Idea Boot Camp online and in person, AI literacy classes, staffing and hiring workshops, and founder hot seats), each badged, alongside aggregated third-party listings. Every event has its own detail page with what you will learn and a direct link to the organizer to register. This is different from the Event Planner (/event-planner), which builds a plan for an event you are hosting.
What it is for
finding an entrepreneurship event to attend: a boot camp, workshop, class, hot seat, conference, summit, webinar, or networking night
How to use it
At /events, browse a free directory of entrepreneurship events by calendar or catalogue, filter by category and format, and open any event for what you will learn and a link to register.
What it is
A public, salary.com-style directory of what common roles pay: median annual AND hourly wages plus a low-to-high range for 35+ occupations (nurse, electrician, truck driver, accountant, barber, and more), searchable by role, category, or keyword. Every role page has a location picker (all 50 states plus DC, National by default): pick a state and it shows that state's real US Bureau of Labor Statistics OEWS figures (annual median, hourly median, and the range where reported, labeled with the data year) when the live lookup succeeds, or a clearly labeled estimate otherwise; an estimate is never presented as official. Every role page also turns the paycheck question into an ownership one: it lists the real business ideas we have for that field (deep-linked into /ideas), features blog articles, and points to the staffing calculator (/calculators), the JD generator (/jd-generator), and Money School (/money-school). A marketing page with real data.
What it is for
anyone wondering what a job pays, and how to turn that same skill into a business they own
How to use it
At /salaries, search or filter to a role for its median pay, a low-to-high range, and a by-state view, then the real business ideas for that field and the staffing calculator alongside.
What it is
Short, honest paid courses grouped into Schools. Money School is live (46 courses generated from the free Money School lessons, covering budgeting, credit, funding, pricing, taxes, debt, wealth, and getting paid); AI School and Business School are coming. The FIRST lesson of every course is free for anyone to read (great for SEO and a real taste); the rest unlocks with a free account. Pricing: $49 per course, or $177 for a whole school. Each course lives at /course/<slug>; the directory is /schools. Dee generates new courses from a lesson topic with the built-in course generator, so the catalog grows without hand-writing.
What it is for
someone who wants to go deeper than the free lessons and take a real, structured course on a money or business topic
How to use it
At /schools, browse paid courses grouped into Schools. The first lesson of every course is free; the rest unlocks with a free account.

The free education hub that teaches money and credit from the ground up, the part nobody learns in school. Dozens of plain-English lessons across eight tracks (Money Basics, Credit, Funding & Capital, Pricing/Profit/Revenue, Taxes & Structure, Debt & Cash Flow, Building Wealth, and Getting Paid & Money Systems). Every topic ladders through three levels (beginner, intermediate, advanced) with concrete to-dos, so a reader starts where they are and climbs. Structured to become courses later. No signup to read. Feeds the What's My Credit Good For tool at /credit and the funding playbook at /get-funding.

How to use it

What it is
30+ calculators for the money questions: what to charge, break-even, what your job really costs you, side hustle reality, taxes to set aside, net worth, compound interest, retirement, startup costs, ROI (simple and annualized), market size (TAM, SAM, SOM), founder equity split, and more. A few premium models (business valuation, 5 year projections, quit-your-job readiness, funding needs, real estate) are one-time unlocks that include an Excel workbook, and every premium calculator also comes with a designed PDF companion guide (cover art, every input and result explained in plain language, a worked example, and three pricing tips) downloadable right on the calculator page once unlocked. The free detailed-planning trio goes deeper than the snapshots: an itemized Startup Budget (one-time plus monthly costs and cushion months, with a 10 percent contingency line), a 12-month Cash Flow Forecast (a month-by-month table that names the lowest-cash danger month and when cash would go negative), and month-by-month Revenue Projections (12-month sales and revenue table, year-one totals, month-12 run rate).

The public Unleash Your Ideas blog at /blog, byline Unleash Your Ideas: honest, source-cited writing for people building something real, filterable by category. Categories: Goals (setting goals that are actually yours and building the system that makes them real, every article points to the Goal Engine at /goals), Money (business goals with a dollar amount attached: revenue targets, the math behind them, and working backward from the life you want, paired with the calculators at /calculators), and Business Failure (a five-part series plus a short overview on the documented causes that kill most companies: no market need 42%, running out of cash 29 to 38%, the wrong team 23%, being outcompeted 19%, and pricing and cost failure 18%). Articles carry two CTA banners: goals articles lead with the Goal Engine (/goals) and add a money calculator or a validation tool; failure articles link the Business Failure Analysis (/business-failure-analysis) and the Idea Validator (/idea-validator).

A growing public Q&A knowledge base at /questions (byline Unleash Your Ideas): the questions every business starter, runner, and grower is actually asking, each on its own /questions/<slug> page.

What it is
A free, public interactive checklist at /grow for members who ALREADY have a legalized, named business and want to grow it to revenue. The member answers Yes / No down a scrollable list of growth building blocks, each phrased as a question (Do you have a business plan? a domain? a website? hosting? a business email? an email signature? a CRM? a lead magnet? offers and packages? an email marketing platform? SEO? a book? a business card? an event plan? social post content? a blog? website content? quotes and proposals? a press release? brand and story photos? invoicing? grants or funding? a course? a competitor scan?). Every No surfaces a We can help with that panel linking the real platform product for that piece; every Yes checks it off with no offer. A positive running tally computes You're X% set up to grow (X = the share of pieces already in place) and frames the rest as a roadmap: N pieces to put in place, and we have a tool for each. There is an add-your-own box at the bottom (with the dictation mic) so members can name needs that are not listed, which signals product demand. The member can print or save the roadmap (a print-friendly view) and create a free account to save it and keep going (name/email/phone captured to the platform leads list, then into the normal signup/onboarding flow). Entirely client-side: no member AI runs on the checklist, so nothing here uses credits.
What it is for
the owner of an up-and-running business who wants to know exactly which growth pieces they are missing and get a tool for each
How to use it
Go to /grow and answer Yes or No down the list of growth building blocks. Every No opens a We can help with that link to the real tool; every Yes checks it off. A running tally reads You're X% set up to grow and frames the rest as a roadmap. Add your own needs at the bottom, then print or save the roadmap, or create a free account to keep it. Nothing here uses credits.
What it is
A free, public page at /scale for the owner who already built the business and wants to scale it, not just grow it (scaling is building the systems, team, automation, funding, and expansion path that let the business get bigger without breaking or needing more of you). Three parts, no account needed: a Scale Readiness self-assessment where the owner ticks what is already true and gets an honest readiness read plus the exact platform tool that closes each gap (pure client-side, no AI, nothing meters), a free scale-ideas generator (say what your business does and where you are stuck and get specific ways to get more visibility, leads, sales, and momentum, regenerate for fresh ideas), and Kenny right on the page to take it further by typing or voice. The hand-off gives three honest paths: run it yourself free with the platform (/signup), have Dee's team build and run it through Done-For-You (/done-for-you), or work with Dee directly (/work-with-dee). It is the scaling sibling of the Growth Readiness Checklist at /grow.
What it is for
the owner of an established business who wants an honest read on whether they are ready to scale, specific ideas to scale, and the tool or team to make it happen
How to use it
Go to /scale. Tick the Scale Readiness checklist to see how ready you are and the exact tool that closes each gap, then use the free scale-ideas generator (say what your business does and where you are stuck) and talk to Kenny right on the page. When you want it done, pick a path: start free with the platform, have Dee's team build it through Done-For-You, or work with Dee. No account needed.
What it is
Dee's live 3-Day AI Bootcamp, now a real product you can buy at /3-day-ai-bootcamp. A one-time $997 purchase gives on-demand access to all three days, and access does not expire. It is built for people who are AI-curious but not technical: you learn by doing on your own business, not by watching theory. Day 1 gets your foundation right (what AI can really do, how to talk to it, the setup that saves hours). Day 2 builds your engine (turning your idea into content, offers, and outreach with AI doing the heavy lifting). Day 3 puts it to work (wiring it into a workflow you keep running, plus your next 30 days mapped out). You keep the prompts and workflows you build. There is a 14-day money-back guarantee. Enroll from the sales page; checkout is Stripe (guest checkout allowed, and a discount code can be entered on the secure screen). After purchase, access lives at /bootcamp and also shows on the My Courses dashboard (/my-stuff/courses). Access is on-demand today; a live cohort date can be added later. This is a paid content product, not an AI tool, so it uses no member AI credits. It is a separate product from the flagship AI business course and from the Legalize Done-For-You lane, even though both are also $997.
What it is for
going from AI-curious to actually running AI in your business in three days, on your own schedule
