All of Summer School, in one playbook you’ll actually use
Eleven brilliant humans taught us their best stuff. We took the notes so you didn’t have to.
11 sessions. 40+ small experiments you can run this week. From building your own personal AI operating system to shipping a real app live – in plain English, ready to nick.

Send Me the Playbook (Free)So much good stuff. So little time to action it.
For one week in June, we threw open the doors to Summer School and asked eleven people we genuinely admire – from Granola, Beehiiv, Notion, Miro, Claude, ManyChat, Lovable and Jack & Jill – to share what they actually know.
The replays are gold. But let’s be honest: eleven hours of video isn’t something you’ll rewatch on a Tuesday when you’ve got a to-do list staring at you.
So we did the rewatching for you.
The Summer School Playbook
The best of all eleven sessions, distilled. No fluff, no filler, no “leverage synergies.” Just the bits worth keeping – written so you can copy, paste and tweak them straight into your own tools.
11 distilled sessions
Every talk boiled down to the handful of ideas that actually matter. Skim it in 15 minutes, or go deep on the one you need today.
40+ “give it a go” experiments
Each session ends with one small thing to try this week. Small beats perfect, every time.
Copy-paste prompts & frameworks
The prompts, formulas and mental models, written word-for-word so you can lift them straight into your own work.

Made for generalists, by generalists.
This playbook comes from the team behind Generalist World – the community and learning platform helping 50,000+ generalists find belonging, network and opportunity.
Summer School is one of the ways we do that. This playbook is the takeaway you keep.
Is this for me?
Grab it if:
- You wear a lot of hats and want practical, do-it-this-week ideas – not theory
- You missed Summer School live, or caught some of it and want the highlights in one place
- You like prompts and frameworks you can copy, paste and tweak immediately
Maybe skip it if:
- You want a deep, single-topic masterclass rather than a fast tour across eleven
- You’re after polished keynote theory instead of “here’s the thing to try on Monday”
One more thing.
The playbook gives you eleven brilliant people’s best ideas. But the real magic of Summer School wasn’t the talks – it was the room full of generalists figuring things out together.
That’s what Generalist World is. A lifetime membership where generalists gather, scheme, experiment, play, and work everything (life / work / the world) out together. Everyone invested in each other’s growth for the long term.
