Birth of the Dojo

Welcome to the first-ever edition of Prompting Dojo, a place where we wax on, wax off… our way to mastering AI productivity! (Okay, okay, I promise not to make you clean the floor—but you may still learn a thing or two about focus, young grasshopper.)

Let me introduce myself. I’m Cash Helman-or as my Japanese students used to called me Cashu Sensei (sounds like my favorite nut, the Cashew!) After spending four years teaching in Japan, I picked up the dojo vibe, and I’m bringing that same energy to this space.

Oh, and just in case you were wondering—when I’m not working on my prompting reps, I teach ukulele, guitar, and science to students in my hometown in Hawaii. Instead, I’m here to share what I know and create a space where we can all learn together.

What’s the deal with Prompting Dojo?

• This isn’t your average newsletter—oh no! This is where we’ll work together to train our AI prompts (kinda like training under Mr. Miyagi—except you won’t need chopsticks to catch any flies 🥢).

• We’ll practice prompts, refine our techniques, and learn how to leverage AI to master productivity—all while keeping it fun and light-hearted.

What to Expect in Future Editions:

• Cool AI tricks that make your life easier (because let’s be honest, we all want AI to do the heavy lifting).

• Productivity hacks that’ll have you kicking through your to-do list like a dojo master.

• Community building—we’re all here to learn, share, and grow (without needing to wax anyone’s car, I promise).

For now, it's just you, me, and Cashew Sensei, but I’m thrilled to see where this dojo goes. The goal is simple: Practice Prompting, Master Productivity—one AI-powered step at a time.

Ready to join me on this journey? Stay tuned, and let's make Mr. Miyagi proud. 🥋

Sincerely,
Cash
