✿ Turn knowledge into value + build with AI (2 opportunities)


Hey Reader,

Full transparency upfront: This is a sales email.

But it's also a genuine invitation to two things I'm launching next week – both designed to help you turn knowledge into value and make AI your thinking partner.

Both programs are in German. If that works for you, read on.

OPTION 1: Learning Ecosystem Mastery (Cohort 4)

Starts: Tuesday, January 20nd

Focus: Turn your knowledge into value + establish AI as your thinking partner

This is for you if you want to spend the first months of 2026 building a system that makes your expertise accessible, valuable, and AI-enhanced.

What you get:

  • 9 weeks of structured guidance
  • Live sessions + community support
  • A complete framework for knowledge transformation

Don't just take my word for it – here's what Martin Gerlach (Cohort 3) experienced:

OPTION 2: Vibe Coder Community (Founding Members)

Starts: Today

Focus: Build with AI-assisted coding – fast, practical, supported

Last Thursday, 65 people joined our live session.

We opened the Vibe Coder treasure chest – 15+ projects, live coding, real questions.

The recording is here: https://quintsmart.com/2026-01-15-vibecoding

If you watched it (or watch it now) and think "I want to do this, but not alone" – that's exactly why we're building the Vibe Coder Community.

What you get:

  • Weekly live sessions (30min input + 60min Q&A)
  • 24h support in the forum
  • Curated tool list + code repository
  • You're not a member – you're a founding member

Founding member price: 47€/month (until Sunday evening)

Regular price after: 97€/month

Your founding price stays at 47€/month – forever, as long as you're a member.

So, which one is right for you?

Learning Ecosystem Mastery = Transform your knowledge into AI-enhanced value

Vibe Coder Community = Build software faster with AI assistance

Both? Also possible. (Several people from LEM are already in the Vibe Coder Community.)

Neither? Also fine. I'll be back with valuable content next week.

Questions?

Just hit reply. I read and answer every email.

Talk soon,

Sebastian

P.S. Yes, both programs are in German. My newsletter is in English because my audience is international, but these two programs work best in my native language. If you're comfortable with German (or want to practice it), you're very welcome.

Vibe Coding: The Liberation Most knowledge workers are trapped in a prison they don’t even see. They have brilliant ideas at 3 PM on Tuesday. They know exactly what would solve their problem. They can visualize the solution. But they can’t build it. So they wait. They ask permission. They join queues behind seventeen “urgent” requests. They navigate political lines and power structures. They watch their momentum die while someone else decides if their idea matters. This is the hidden tax of...

Everyone’s rushing to implement AI. They research platforms. Compare features. Test prompts. Choose the best tool. Roll it out with enthusiasm. Weeks later, adoption is dismal. Here’s what I’ve learned watching this pattern repeat: The technology isn’t the problem. How you’re approaching it is. This Friday, I attended “The Dock” conference by LangDock, and one statistic came up again and again: Successful AI adoption is 80% about people (change management) and 20% about technology. Not...
