The Gnar Company is launching a free, four-part workshop series for business leaders who want to stop reading about AI and start using it. The first session, "Meet Claude + Getting Great Output," goes live Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 2:30pm ET on Zoom. Registration is open now.
The series is built for non-technical CEOs, CIOs, COOs, founders, and operators at B2B companies between $10M and $200M in revenue. No development team, no prior AI knowledge, no technical setup required.
Why Now
Almost every company is using AI somewhere. Hardly any of them can tell you what it's worth.
That's the headline finding from McKinsey's 2025 Global Survey on AI: 88% of organizations now use AI in at least one business function, but only 39% can point to measurable bottom-line impact. The tools are everywhere. The results aren't. That gap is where competitive advantage quietly slips away, and it's exactly what this series is built to close.
The details
- Starts: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 at 2:30pm ET
- Format: 4 live sessions, bi-weekly, 60 minutes each
- Where: Live on Zoom
- Cost: Free
- Recordings: Every session is recorded and archived. Register once and you're enrolled in all four.
What the four sessions cover
Each session builds on the last, moving from the basics to a real adoption plan.
- Meet Claude + Getting Great Output (Tue, Jun 30, 2026 @ 2:30pm ET). 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.
- Projects + Workflows (Tue, Jul 14, 2026 @ 2:30pm ET). How to 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.
- Building Things: Artifacts + Skills (Tue, Jul 28, 2026 @ 2:30pm ET). 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 do-it-yourself building gets risky.
- Your Team + Your Strategy (Tue, Aug 11, 2026 @ 2:30pm ET). What your engineering team is, or should be, doing with AI, and how to assess that without being technical. You leave with a concrete adoption framework and a clear next step.
What you walk away with
The point isn't to feel inspired and forget it by Thursday. By the end of the series you'll have prompt templates you'll actually reuse, a working Claude project built around your own company, repeatable workflows your team can run, and a framework for rolling AI out across departments without chaos. You'll also have spent four sessions alongside other operators wrestling with the same questions.
Can't make every session live? Every workshop is recorded and archived, so you can watch back anytime or move through the series on your own schedule. We send post-workshop materials to everyone who registers, whether or not you attend.
