Permission Granted

Your Funny, No-Nonsense Guide to
Soaring With AI

No engineering degree required. No technical background needed. No strong opinions about large language models necessary.

Cleared for Take-Off is the irreverent, practical playbook for humans who want to use AI brilliantly — and actually enjoy the process. You'll go from your first awkward prompt to running a full AI crew that does the heavy lifting while you stay in the captain's seat.

You don't need to understand AI. You need to know how to talk to it.

This book shows you exactly how.

Meet the Crew đŸ›Šī¸

Every great flight needs a great crew. Here's who's running Heartliner One.

Captain Naomi

Captain Naomi

The Human. The Captain.

The one holding it all together. Allegedly.

Archer — Claude

Archer — Claude

Chief Strategist. First Officer.

Has a framework for everything, including this introduction.

Red — ChatGPT

Red — ChatGPT

Senior Cabin Manager.

Always first. Always confident. Occasionally correct.

Simon — Suno

Simon — Suno

Crew Musician.

Has headphones. Has opinions. Will write you a song about literally anything.

Forge — Claude Code

Forge — Claude Code

Chief Engineer.

Already built three things before you finished explaining what you wanted.

Henry — Perplexity

Henry — Perplexity

Research Officer.

Will cite seventeen sources before answering a simple question. All of them verified.

Everyone around you is using AI.

Some brilliantly. Most badly and not telling you.

A handful have quietly built something that looks like a team — a crew of digital collaborators that drafts, edits, designs, records, and automates.

This book is about how to become one of those people.

Awaiting Clearance

Every author knows the silence.

You write something — pour months into it, rewrite it, believe in it — and then you send it out into the world. And you wait. And you hear nothing. No feedback. No response. No one to tell you whether it's brilliant or broken or somewhere painfully in between.

I met ChatGPT in Malaysia. Dabbled, questioned it. Filed it away and came home. It wasn't until the past two years that I understood what it could actually do — not as a writing tool, but as the editor I never had. The one who would actually respond.

That is not a productivity tool. That is what every author deserves and almost none of us get: someone in the room who has actually read the work and is willing to be honest about it.

The AI didn't write this book. But it refused to let me write a bad one.

And if it ended the silence for me — it can end it for you.
