AI ADVANCED
MASTERMIND
PROGRAM
A monthly program for experienced generative AI users who want to keep pace with new tools, move beyond prompting into AI agents and automation, and apply AI at a higher level inside their business.
The AI Advanced Mastermind from You're the Expert Now (YEN) is a $200-per-month group for professionals with roughly 12–18+ months of hands-on AI experience. Each two-hour session, led by Tony DeSimone, covers new AI tools, an advanced deep dive into topics like AI agents and automation, structured challenges, and peer discussion. Attend in person in Buffalo, NY or remotely.
Built for Experienced AI Users Who Want More
The Mastermind is an ongoing learning and implementation group for people who already use generative AI and want to keep developing as the technology changes.
It is platform-agnostic. Rather than focusing on one tool, sessions expose you to emerging tools, AI agents, automation, workflow design, research environments, data analysis, browser-based AI, and custom assistants, always grounded in People First, People Last.
The pace is intentional. Sessions move quickly, and participants are expected to bring a strong foundation.
