First time here?

You're in the right place if you want a real owner teaching you Claude.

Hi, I'm Pat Miller. I run a small business, lead a small business community, and host a daily live show for small business owners. I use Claude every single day to do the kind of work that used to eat my week. I'm not a developer or an AI consultant flown in from Silicon Valley. I'm an owner like you, and I've been using Claude long enough to teach the owners inside my community how to actually put it to work in their own businesses.

For the record, I'm fully independent of Anthropic and have no formal affiliation with them today. I've applied to join the Claude Partner Network because I think small business owners deserve a real seat at that table, and I'm excited about what that could mean for the owners I work with, but for now this is one owner teaching other owners how to use a tool that's changing how we work.

That's the whole point of what we're doing here together. You'll work with someone who's running a real small business on Claude every day, and who teaches it the way an owner needs to learn it.

The "wait, you can do that?" list

What owners are actually using Claude for.

Claude is not a search engine and it's not a chatbot toy. It's a junior employee that can sit at your desk and help you run your business. The owners I work with are using Claude to:

Train Claude to perform repetitive work that saves hours each week
Schedule tasks that create opportunity or simplify the daily grind
Create dashboards and calculators to simplify scattered information
Research for leads, speaking gigs, grants, and more
Write client proposals, follow-ups, and emails in their own voice
Clean up and rewrite messy SOPs so a new hire could actually follow them
Prep for client calls in 5 minutes instead of 45
Scan email, documents, and folders to connect disconnected information for faster decision making

The training I offer teaches you how to actually do this in your business, not in a hypothetical one. We start with what's eating your week and we install Claude on top of it.

What it actually feels like to work with me
The session was so, so great. I felt at once taken care of and knew we could go at my slow pace and that there truly were no stupid questions, but I felt called to a higher level, too. Like I could demand a lot of myself and my capacity to understand Claude's capabilities, and could aspire to the level you've built out for your very impressive business. I also just really appreciated how much you care, about me and my business and my confidence and my understanding. You were so present, and that's rare. I would recommend anyone even remotely curious about this stuff to book a session with you.

From inside the AI Installation Mastermind

Real owners. Real Claude wins.

Every month inside the Mastermind, the room shares what's working. Here's a quick look at what owners are actually building, automating, and shipping with Claude in real life.

Win 01

Abbie @ Miller Headshot Co.First inbound from AI search

Abbie landed her first inbound job from an AI search after we built out a real FAQ page on her site. AI search is not theoretical anymore. It's already how customers find you.

Win 02

Amber @ Water DoctorsPermit lookups, automated

Amber is automating the process of applying for plumbing permits. Now, her team isn't burning hours on repetitive form workflows. The same Claude in Chrome workflow can handle whatever clicky, copy-pasty thing is eating your week.

Win 03

Rhonda @ Disrupting DivorceBuilt a working site, live on a call

Rhonda built a working website during one of our Mastermind calls just from text prompts. With Claude, you have the power to design and build working sites, apps, and more.

Win 04

Brad @ Vision Forward Business SolutionsBuilt a wage calculator tool

Brad built a wage calculator product for his clients, the kind of branded tool that used to take a developer six months to ship. Brad is not a developer. He's an owner with Claude.

Win 05

Pat @ Live on a CallInstant Tech Support from Claude Code

Pat watched his own Mac slow to a crawl on a Mastermind call. Claude diagnosed a utility eating 46% of his RAM and fixed it on the spot, in front of the room. That's the kind of moment that changes how an owner thinks about what's actually possible.

Your Turn

Want a win like these in your business?

Pick the path that fits and we'll get to work installing Claude into your week.

Three Paths

Three ways to train. Pick the one that fits.

All three options are built for owners who want to install Claude into a real working business, not for owners who want to read about AI. Here's how to choose.

On-Demand · One-on-One

The Start Here Session

A personal one-on-one Claude coaching session, booked on your schedule.

You don't need another course. You need someone to sit down next to you and show you how Claude actually works for your business. We look at what you're doing today, where you're stuck, and we install a few Claude wins you can put to work right damn now.

It's the fastest way to go from "I've heard of Claude" to "Claude is making me money."

  • Focused one-on-one working session with Pat
  • Walkthrough tailored to your business, not a generic demo
  • Two or three immediate installations you can use the same week
  • Short recap so you can keep building after we hang up
$199 · One-time, per session
Best for: The owner who wants a tutor instead of a textbook.
Guaranteed to Work: If our session doesn't unlock something useful, I refund it without paperwork.
Coming Early June 2026 · Waitlist Open

Group Claude Training

A live, group Claude training built for owners who want to learn together.

This is the Start Here Session taught in-person for owners who want to learn the way I teach in my Mastermind, in a format that fits a busy owner's calendar and budget.

The first live, in-person event will be held in June 2026. Waitlist gets first access and founding-member pricing.

  • First-in-line access when seats open
  • Founding-member pricing reserved for the first cohort
  • Short onboarding email so you know what to expect
Best for: Owners who want a structured cohort experience and founding pricing on the next big offering.

The Fit Test

Be honest about where you are.

Who this is for

  • You own your business and you don't just work in one.
  • You're not a techie. You're an everyday entrepreneur trying to keep up so you don't get left behind.
  • You've used ChatGPT or another AI tool, and your gut tells you installing Claude is the leverage you've been waiting for.
  • You want answers and accountability, not another shelf full of half-finished courses.
  • You're willing to invest a few hours a month to actually implement.
  • You're ready to share what's working and what isn't with peers who get it.

Everything from "what is Claude?" to "how is this different from a YouTube tutorial?" to "is this right for a service business like mine?" If you've got a question, it's probably answered there.

It's time to put Claude to work.

Pick the path that fits where you are right now. We can move slow or we can move fast, work one-on-one or roll with a group of owners who get it. Either way, you're not doing this alone.
