OpenClaw, Claude Code, Codex, Replit, AI is moving fast and it’s overwhelming. But here’s what most people are missing. All of this is built for the 15 percent, the developers, the coders, the tech insiders who love this stuff. And good for them. But what about you? The business owner, the consultant, the professional trying to keep up.
If it feels like this wasn’t built for you, you’re right. That’s why Floyd Hodges, John Marino, and Billie Darkenwald created something different. The HTU AI Agent Workshop. A foundation to buy back your time, amplify your output, and take control again.
