Who High Rise Academy Is Not For
Dylan Haugen, Dennis Yu, and Jack Wendt sat down on who the High Rise Academy AI apprentice program is not for. The filter is simple. Can they show up and do the work.
This program is not for people who are not into it and will not go do it. If you do not want to do the thing, it is going to be very difficult to work together. You have to want it, and you have to do it.
You have to do the work
We teach MAA all the time. Metrics, analysis, action. If every week you take the same metrics and never act, you never show the client results. You are getting paid to do nothing.
Communication matters too. If you cannot communicate in a timely way, the work stalls. When you do not know how to do something, you can delegate it, delete it, or ask.
Ask if you get stuck
A lot of the work is simple enough to ask ChatGPT. If you truly get stuck, we are here to help. That is the valuable part of the AI Builder Program. Learning to reason with AI is a basic skill a lot of young adults already have. That is why this program is geared toward them.
If your child is making videos, talking to the AI, reasoning through things, and providing context, they are going to succeed.
Follow through is the filter
The number one question for a parent is whether their child can follow through. We are not in a physical office together. Assignments still have to get done when someone is sick, busy, or on vacation. It is about an hour a day, not the same hour every day.
We are not here for babysitting. We are not here to convince anyone this is important. If they have inner drive and they get stuff done, we will help them. The more action they take, like the weekly status report, the more feedback we can give.
We have seen 14 year olds with incredible follow through, and we have seen older people who cannot get stuff done. If they take action, every action gives us more to analyze, more metrics, and more feedback on the video, the ad, and the landing page. Take the action. We will help along the way.
