I'm rebuilding work for the Humans+Agents economy.

Agencies. Peer groups. Coaching. All reimagined with humans and agents working together, both doing what they do best. I help you understand how this works and how to execute on it so you can win.

Steve Cunningham

I've helped senior leaders from these companies (and hundreds more) reimagine the way they work in the Humans+Agents Economy.

I've spent my career betting on transformations.

I bet on digital marketing before most agencies existed. I ran one for 12 years. I bet on book summaries when everyone said nobody reads anymore. I read a book a day for a decade and built Readitfor.me, backed by a billionaire investor.

Then I bet on AI.

In 2023, when AI disrupted my business, I didn't fight it. I rebuilt. I founded Simple Academy and grew it into a 7-figure business training thousands of leaders on the transition.

I'm betting again. This time, on you.

Three weeks ago, Claude Cowork made AI agents operational. I rebuilt my entire company: 10 VP-level agents, hundreds of sub-agents, context that compounds. The methodology works.

Next week, I release it: The CEO AI Operating System.

I'm glad you're here.

The AI Black Belt program has transformed how I work as Chief Legal Officer. It allows me to treat generative AI as my thinking partner, legal colleague, and intern, handling first drafts, analysis, and exploration so I can focus on strategic analysis for critical business and legal decisions.

I have completed four programs from certifying organizations including Microsoft, Columbia University, the Corporate Finance Institute, and Simple Academy. The skills I picked up in this program are the ones that have proven most beneficial to my professional and personal life.

I have carved at least a day off of my work week which is invaluable for a business owner. I have a robust pipeline of opportunities for '26 and I feel I am 3 steps ahead of the IT folks I work with.

I used to run the customer/employee onboarding team for Amazon globally, and if I was still there, Steve's AI training would be mandatory for all our employee new hires.

I'm rebuilding peer groups from the ground up. Instead of sitting around and talking, we install operating systems together. Our businesses get stronger in a single day.

Software first, service second. Agents first, everything else second. This is what peer learning looks like when you rebuild it for the AI economy.

When I started the program, I was planning to consult for a boutique firm in my industry. But I was so struck by the sheer opportunity of AI that I decided I must be a part of this movement. I'm now a paid speaker, appearing on podcasts and entrepreneurship masterminds, and consulting to multiple organizations.
