The Fifth Day mantra

You don’t need more hours.

You need fewer decisions.

And you don’t need another tool.

You need a system that’s already built - for you.

That’s what The Fifth Day is.

That’s what you'll learn in this one day workshop.

The Problem

If you’re a solo founder, you’re doing the work of five people.

You’re writing.
Selling.
Thinking.
Responding.
Scheduling.
Managing.
Posting.
Planning.

And the things that matter most, you spend the least time on.

Hmmm.

Your thinking, your clarity, your fire — get buried under everything called busy.

We tell ourselves: “Once I catch up, I’ll finally have space.”
But the treadmill just speeds on up.

Because the system isn’t broken.
It was just never designed for you.


The Solution

The solution is to achieve more in less time. Simple.

If AI is to help you to win, winning is getting you that ONE DAY back.

The Fifth Day is your new operating system to achieve that.

Built to save you 8–12 hours/week, by automating, amplifying, and aligning what you already do.

This isn’t another course.
You don’t watch hours of videos.

It's a practical, hands on day where you work alongside other founders to find out where you can put AI to work in your business .

(and the bits you can ignore).

Is this for me?

This workshop is for


- Solo founders, creators, indie consultants

- People who’ve said “I should write more”

- People who’ve said “I want my time back”

- Founders who are tired of tools and need clarity

- Anyone ready to stop doing it all, and start scaling what works

- For those who want to get the fun back.

Total time saved

8–12 hours/week One day. Back in your hands.

Your fifth day is waiting

The time is already there. You just need the system that gives it back to you. Scan. Start. Save a day. One person. Operating like ten.
DOUBTS?

Here’s why you won’t buy it.... (And why you should.)

1. “I don't think I'll actually use it.”

Doubt: “I’ve bought too many things I didn’t finish.”

For me, this is a century defining tool. But. You gotta know how to use it.

Remember: Slop in. Slop out.

This isn’t a course. It’s a working system.

Scan the QR we give you on the day, and start in 60 seconds.

It’s already built.

2. “It sounds too good to be true.”

Doubt: “One day back per week? Sounds like hype, Dave.”

I get it. But what if you had a sparring partner at your side each day, every hour, nudging you towards being your best, do you think you will achieve better results in less time?

This is what I would do, bring your doubts.

Because I know, you will leave thinking ‘This is insane.’

And, if you don’t think you can get a day back, I’ll give your money back. Simple.

3. “I need growth, not clarity.”


Doubt: “I need more leads… not systems.”

You don’t need more chaos.

You need clarity that scales.
This isn’t about posting more. It’s about echoing what already works.”

4. “Not another tool I have to learn.”


Doubt: “I’m already overwhelmed with tools.”

You ALREADY have the tools.

This system connects them and automates them.

You scan once. You don’t set anything up.

This is a low bar to entry: Can you scan a QR code?

Thank you for making the world of AI feel graspable. It was a great day, fun, engaging, and I'm hopeful a gift to my future self!

Rosemary

You gave us all a sneaky peek into the future and it blew my mind, in a good way. Now its time to embrace the journey. So many possibilities.

Philip

It was fun. I came away feeling reassured that I've got this. And, of course, having learnt lots of new stuff like truly useful new ways to think of and use AI.

Anna

Loved David's enthusiasm. It was full of practical ideas. Helped me dive into AI. This has unleashed a stack of new creative ideas for me. Thank you.

Richard

It was like being in an Apple Genius Bar, but without THAT mildly patronising look and for a full-day. So good, always on point - fielding all our ‘rangey’ questions with such poise. Well done all, great day - mind still slightly blown.

Matt

You can't put a price on the value that DO brings you. It's exceptional

Sally

A workshop bursting at the seams with gold.
