SUMMARY:Claude Anonymous | Weekly Monday AI Meeting for Sober Humans Who Are Sick of Feeling Behind
DESCRIPTION:Claude Anonymous | Weekly Monday AI Meeting for Sober Humans Who Are Sick of Feeling Behind\nBring your questions\, your half-finished projects\, and your low-grade panic about AI. One hour\, no experience required. We open with wins\, we work through what is stuck\, and nobody gets shamed for asking what a prompt is. Offered twice so you can catch whichever time fits your week. \nWHAT IT IS\nClaude Anonymous is the meeting for BACKSTAGE members who know AI is not going away\, are tired of pretending they have it figured out\, and would like to learn it from someone who is not going to make them feel stupid. One hour. Genuinely useful. \nHere is how the hour runs: \n\nCheck in. What did you try this week? What worked? What blew up spectacularly?\nThe topic. One tool\, one prompt technique\, or one workflow\, explained in plain English and demoed live.\nOpen floor. You bring the problem. We solve it together\, out loud\, on screen.\nTakeaway. You leave with one thing you can actually use that same day.\n\nWe cover the real stuff. Writing that still sounds like you. Getting through your inbox before it gets through you. Building a resume\, a pitch\, a business plan\, a newsletter\, a side hustle. Organizing the chaos. Making the tools work for the life you are actually living. \nNo coding. No jargon. No tech-bro energy. Just a room full of curious people figuring it out together\, which is more or less how we got sober too. \nWho this is for: Absolute beginners. Skeptics. People who opened ChatGPT once\, typed “hello\,” and closed the tab. People already using AI who want to get sharper. \nWhat to bring: A real task you are avoiding. That is it. \n\nMondays\, 12:00 to 1:00 PM Pacific. Every week.\nThursdays\, 2:00 to 3:00 PM Pacific. Every other week.\n\nBACKSTAGE MEMBERS will be emailed one hour before the meeting with the Zoom link.  \nSame meeting\, same format\, different time. Come to one\, come to both\, come when you can. Included with your BACKSTAGE membership\, and every session lands in the Replay Vault. \nNot a BACKSTAGE member yet? $19/mo or $190/year (*includes two free months) JOIN HERE \nLove what you read? #sharesobriety\n				Share on Facebook (Opens in new window)\n				Facebook\n			\n				Share on LinkedIn (Opens in new window)\n				LinkedIn\n			\n				Share on Pinterest (Opens in new window)\n				Pinterest\n			\n				Share on X (Opens in new window)\n				X\n			\n				Share on Tumblr (Opens in new window)\n				Tumblr\n			\n				Share on Reddit (Opens in new window)\n				Reddit

A method\, a system\, a way you do things that your friends keep texting you for. That’s a product sitting on your hard drive\, and you’re giving it away for free. \nFellow BACKSTAGE member Veronica Valli has turned what she knows into a global business. She’s a psychotherapist\, the author of Soberful: Uncover a Sustainable\, Fulfilling Life Free of Alcohol\, and the founder of the Soberful platform\, where she works with women around the world. She built her digital products herself\, and she’s walking us through how she did it. \nThis isn’t a pep talk. It’s a working session\, and you’ll leave with a plan. \nThe first 35 minutes: the playbook \n\nFinding your product. How to spot the expertise you already have that people will pay for.\nPicking the format. Guides\, templates\, workbooks\, mini courses\, and memberships\, and which one fits your time and skills.\nPricing it. How to charge what it’s worth without guessing.\nSelling it. The simple funnel: a free lead magnet\, an email list\, and a paid offer.\nTools that don’t need a tech team. What to use to build\, host\, and deliver it.\n\nThe last 25 minutes: live Q&A \nBring your idea. Veronica will help you pressure-test it in real time. \nWho it’s for: Writers\, coaches\, creatives\, side-hustlers\, and anyone who’s said “I should really do something with this” more than twice. \nBring: One idea you’ve been sitting on\, and a notebook. \nRSVP: This event is for BACKSTAGE members only.

SUMMARY:The Movies Taught Us How to Drink: BACKSTAGE Encore With Ted Mandell
DESCRIPTION:The Movies Taught Us How to Drink: BACKSTAGE Encore With Ted Mandell\nHollywood gave alcohol a fabulous publicist. Ted Mandell is here to review the footage. \nTed returns to BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator on Tuesday\, Oct. 20\, for an encore conversation about how movies and television shaped our ideas about drinking long before we ordered our first round. \nA Notre Dame professor who examines alcohol and popular culture\, Ted breaks down the storytelling choices that make drinking look like the price of admission to friendship\, romance and belonging. The party montage. The instant confidence. The girl who finally becomes “fun” once someone hands her a cup. Suddenly\, those familiar scenes look a little different. \nWe’re giving this conversation the sequel it deserves. Expect pop culture\, thoughtful discussion and a few “How did I never notice that?” moments. \nMissed Ted’s first visit? This is your chance to get in the room. Already caught it? There’s plenty worth talking about after the credits roll. \nEvent details \n\nDate: Tuesday\, Oct. 20\, 2026\nTime: 6 p.m. Eastern / 3 p.m. Pacific\nLocation: Virtual\, inside BACKSTAGE with The Sober Curator\nGuest: Ted Mandell\nAccess: BACKSTAGE members please register on your BACKSTAGE Dashboard page\n\nGet a preview of Ted’s first BACKSTAGE conversation. \nPopcorn encouraged. Film degree entirely unnecessary. \nNot a BACKSTAGE member yet?
