From Ease into AI to "No Code Central"
Join me as we chat about the last few months of beautiful change and growth
Starting is always the tough Part…
As those of you who already follow my journey on LinkedIn by now know, I have been on a huge educational, No code GenAI Transformative mission. A Journey that was precipitated by the AI implosion, when ChatGPT first came into all of our worlds, in what seems like just the other day. After a few intriguing Bootcamps focused exclusively on GenAI, I serendipitously (Scott Meyer, Founder of Chipp.ai, I told you it was my favorite word, wink wink) Stumbled into the magic of No Code and have not been the same since. Sometimes I wish I had journaled each day, as this period of tech has moved so quickly, it's tricky to figure out the timelines.
Why this, why now {No Code Central}
Two exceptional human beings (Harold & Max ) offered me an opportunity on their No Code x AI Bootcamp and I blame them (hee hee) as in 25 days we had to build out our first Ever MVP. What’s an MVP? The most minimal version of a product, that you can build using your current no code skill level, that you have at the time. After brainstorming with Group 4 aka “No Code Crew” (more on that later, hahahahhaha) I decided to build the last 18 months of my life No Code Central -the literal roadmap of my discoveries, that include all the no code Wabbit holes I squirmed down, all the educational courses I took and loved, all the sublime communities I am now apart of! On a separate note, I must also add that I was deeply inspired by Katt Risen from No-Code Exists which is why I chose Substack and not another platform.
What am I hoping to build here & chat about with you guys?
No Code Central is a platform that brings us all together. It will not take from any other, in fact, the opposite. We want to help builders, founders, users, no code curious, in the same loving kind way I too have been helped. Let me expand on that. I have met souls like Alexandre Kantjas from 9x who first showed me the basics of all things Airtable. I will always be grateful for his guidance. Then there was Sahil Khosla from his No code University, who helped me build my first mobile app on Glide .I cant tell you how much I smiled in that moment.
The list goes on, there is also the lovely host from the NoCode Ops Show Claudia Cafeo who is endlessly available to help you in their discord community. Tara Darbyshire , the Co-Founder, is also one of the coolest people I know, and we meet as often as we can, to geek out, on how we can use no code to build meditation apps or Yoga membership sites. Theses people have left an indelible mark on me, and welcomed me the gorgeous world of No Code! I would like to continue their generosity of spirit with No Code Central so others can also receive the same such nurturing when they begin their journey.
Let me know how you think No Code should be spelt in our poll above please :)
So what’s the plan?
My plan is not to overwhelm you. Goodness knows we have enough newsletters {heee hee} So, I’ll commit to posting once a week, on a Thursday. Anyone can read my words and or thoughts, and if anything especially speaks out to you, you are welcome to donate or choose a paid option that suits you. No Pressure. If you want to unsubscribe at any moment, you can, no offense will be taken.
I will end off as I always do….

Let’s continue to stay curious and passionate about the power and magic of both AI and No Code
Until next week
Blessings always,
