Many people feel a strong pull toward starting a project, business, or creative path, but get stuck between their big idea and the messy reality of execution. This course bridges that gap by showing you how to treat AI as a low-cost, always-available thought partner that helps you think more clearly instead of pretending to think for you. You’ll first unpack why dreams often stall—especially for first-generation students and entrepreneurs without mentors or networks—and then learn how today’s AI tools dramatically lower the barriers to knowledge, research, and planning. From there, you’ll practice using AI to clarify your vision, explore markets and models, and turn scattered notes into a simple, shareable plan. Finally, you’ll experiment with using AI for storytelling, visuals, and even sound to express your idea in a way that resonates with real people. By the end, you’ll walk away with a clearer dream, a grounded first plan, and practical AI habits you can keep using as you grow.
