Build Your AI Second Brain (Workshop)
A hands-on full day to set up Claude Code, configure it around your work, and connect it to Obsidian. You leave with a working system - not just ideas.
Most professionals use AI reactively - they open a chat window when they remember to.
This workshop builds something different: a Personal Professional Operating System that knows your context, works the way you work, and actually makes you faster over time.
Over 6 hours, you'll set up Claude Code, configure it around your specific workflow, and connect it to Obsidian to build an "AI Second Brain" that learns as you use it.
This is hands-on. You build while we teach.
What you'll build:
Claude Code installed and configured with a personalised setup
2 custom AI skills tailored to your actual workflow
An Obsidian vault with AI-powered intake and synthesis
A weekly workflow that ties it all together
Schedule:
09:30 - Part 1: The mental model & first real setup
11:15 - Part 2: Configuring your AI stack
13:00 - Lunch & Networking
14:00 - Part 3: Building your Second Brain in Obsidian
15:45 - Part 4: Putting it all together

Who this is for: Founders, Consultants, and Operators who already use AI tools and want to move from casual use to a real system. Basic computer literacy required - no coding experience needed.
