Expert to Authority Mastery is a premium, live 18-week program led by Vishen Lakhiani, with special guest teachers. It teaches you how to turn your expertise into a recognized authority: a clear message, a signature method, a premium offer, and a business that can grow beyond your own time.
This is not a self-paced course. It is a structured, live cohort program where every week gives you a framework that you apply to your own business.

Tools FAQs
Do I have to use Claude, or will ChatGPT work?
Either works. The frameworks are tool-agnostic and work in ChatGPT, Claude or any similar AI assistant. Claude is used for demonstrations on the calls, and the same exercises are covered for ChatGPT in the labs.
Are there any other tools or costs beyond the program price?
No. Every exercise can be completed on the free plan of ChatGPT or Claude. A paid AI plan is recommended for faster, stronger results, but it isn’t required.
