Who It’s For

Strategy and execution, in the same room.

Each credit union sends two people: a decision-maker and a builder. That pairing is the whole point — strategy without someone to execute it is just a slide deck, and execution without strategic cover stalls at the first compliance question. The Mastermind is designed to keep both moving together.

Seat 1 — The Exec

The strategic decision-maker

The person who can say yes, set direction, and run interference when AI initiatives hit organizational friction. They come for the strategy, the peer benchmarking, and Kirk’s monthly theme work.

Seat 2 — The Builder

The hands-on practitioner

The person who’s actually going to build things, run workflows, and show up to Spotlight sessions with something to share. They come for the toolkit, the peer builds, and the implementation depth.

How Sessions Run

60 minutes. Every two weeks. Always moving forward.

0–5 min
Welcome & New Member Intros
Brief check-in and introductions for any new members joining the group for the first time.
5–25 min
Kirk’s Theme Segment
Each month has a theme — a skill build or a strategy frame. Kirk leads this segment: part teaching, part provocation, part practical application. Members leave with something they can use or act on that week.
25–50 min
Member Spotlights
2–3 members share what they’re building, testing, or stuck on — using the Mastermind’s standardized Spotlight template. This is the core of every session: real work from real credit unions, not case studies or vendor stories.
50–60 min
Toolkit Drop & Handoff
A new toolkit asset drops every session — a prompt, a template, a playbook, a vendor scorecard. Next session preview, and the conversation continues in WhatsApp between calls.
The CU 2.0 AI Toolkit

A library that grows every session.

Every session drops a new asset. Over time, members accumulate a comprehensive toolkit purpose-built for AI in credit unions — not generic templates repurposed for financial services.

💬

Prompts Library

Curated, tested prompts for credit union use cases — member service, lending, compliance, board communication, and internal operations.

🤖

Agent Templates

Pre-built agent frameworks from the CU 2.0 agent studio. Ready to adapt, not built from scratch.

📋

Playbooks

Governance, vendor evaluation, board AI narrative, NCUA posture, and D&O — practical frameworks your team can actually use.

📊

AIRE Measurement Templates

CU 2.0’s 4-lens AI readiness and effectiveness framework, templated for credit union use.

🌎

Vendor Scorecards & Partner Intros

Structured evaluation tools for AI vendors plus warm introductions to vetted partners when you’re ready to evaluate.

📚

Member Use Case Write-Ups & Session Index

Every Spotlight becomes a write-up. Every session gets indexed. The full archive is searchable and grows with the group.

Between Sessions

The group doesn’t stop when the call ends.

📲
WhatsApp Channel
A dedicated channel where the conversation continues between calls. Questions, shares, quick reactions to new model releases — the always-on layer.
📅
Monthly Office Hours
Monthly open office hours with Kirk. Bring anything — strategy questions, implementation blockers, things you want a second opinion on.
🎥
Recorded & Indexed Sessions
Every session is recorded and indexed so you can catch what you missed or revisit a Spotlight that turned out to be relevant three months later.
🔎
NCUA Query Tool
Pull NCUA call report data instantly — peer benchmarks, financial metrics, and industry trends — without digging through the NCUA website.
Getting Started

Rolling membership. Hit the ground running.

1

Welcome packet & Toolkit access

You get the welcome packet, WhatsApp invite, and full Toolkit access immediately.

2

Orientation & catch-up digest

A 20-minute recorded orientation and a digest of the last 8 sessions so you can get up to speed on your own time.

3

Optional 1:1 in your first 30 days

A 30-minute 1:1 with the CU 2.0 team in your first month — available to every new member who wants it.

4

Lurk, then contribute

New members observe for two sessions to get the feel of the group, then take a Spotlight slot by session four.

No cohort start dates.

There’s no waiting for the next batch to launch. When you join, you join where the group is — and the onboarding materials make sure you’re not starting cold.

The rolling format means the group is always made up of people at different stages of their AI journey, which turns out to be one of its most useful features. Someone else has already solved the problem you’re about to run into.
