What the AI Mastermind is
Your data. Your stack. Software that reads it back to you.
Every platform you already run — your CRM, your spreadsheets, your scheduling tool, your payment processor — has an API. Most operators never touch it. The Mastermind teaches you to wire AI into those APIs, layer your own IP on top of the data, and ship something your competitors cannot buy off a shelf.
If you own a business, you bring the broken part of your week. If you work inside a company, you bring the thing your team does manually that should not be manual. If you already understand AI but have never deployed against live data — this is where that changes.
The tools emerge from the problem. The problem is yours. The result is production software — not a prototype, not a demo — sitting in a repository under your name.
What's included
Where the curriculum comes from
The same loop runs a $125M-a-month operation.
DRX Lot Assistant was built with this exact stack and has been in production since launch — zero manual migrations, every floor-staff member using it without a training mandate. The curriculum is the order Gavin built it in, including what went wrong.
The stack map
Five layers. Every build runs all of them.
Every build starts with two boxes drawn before a line of code exists. Then the stack assembles in layers — how the software gets made, how it ships and stays live, and which platforms get API'd into to make something nobody else can replicate.
Draw the rough lines. Scope before a single line of code.
Structure the problem. Entity modeling in operator English.
Scaffold the UI and three-tier architecture.
Version control. The handoff between build and deploy.
Deploy to production instantly. Global edge. Zero config.
Serverless Postgres. Data persists without a DBA.
Domain registration. Your address on the internet.
DDoS protection, DNS proxy, edge security at the perimeter.
OAuth credentials, service accounts, API key management.
Sessions, passwords, OAuth — production auth handled.
Transactional email. Confirmations, alerts, receipts.
Serverless functions, cron, middleware — globally distributed.
Branching, autoscaling, point-in-time restore. No babysitting.
Assets cached at the edge. Fast everywhere, protected everywhere.
CI/CD pipeline. Every push triggers a build and deploy.
Live data in, live readouts out. Operators already live here.
Payments, subscriptions, metered billing wired in.
Auth + realtime Postgres when the build calls for it.
SEO data piped into dashboards and automated reports.
SERP intelligence. Keyword data as a product layer.
Organic performance data surfaced as actionable readouts.
Live inventory data — $125M+/mo throughput — powering a real-time lot assistant running right now.
Whatever platform runs your operation — we API into it.
Scheduling API. Bookings wired into the workflow automatically.
Voice agent infrastructure. Inbound calls handled by AI.
Location intelligence, routing, place data as a product layer.
Workflow automation. Connect anything that has a webhook.

Who is in the room
Gavin runs the operation this came out of.
Twenty-six years operating — collectible and exotic inventory, outside sales, enterprise deployment. He built DRX Lot Assistant himself. It has carried $125M a month since it went live, zero manual migrations, every floor-staff member using it without a training mandate.
The curriculum is the order he built it in. Including the parts that went wrong. He is on the floor the entire day — not presenting, building alongside you.
What You'll Need · Honest Budget Disclosure
The tools are real.
So is the cost to run them.
Every tool used at the Mastermind is a real product with its own pricing. Most have free tiers that cover the weekend. Some require a paid plan to unlock the compute you need for an intense build session. Budget accordingly — and know that most of these become permanent infrastructure in your business after you leave.
Pricing sourced from each vendor's public pricing page as of August 2026. Subject to change. Paddock20 is independently reaching out to each platform for official partnership and usage guidance — copy and claims will be updated as those conversations complete. All trademarks belong to their respective owners.
CC01
Replit
Cloud IDE — write, run, and deploy code in the browser
Core plan recommended for the weekend — private repls + full compute.
CC02
v0 by Vercel
AI UI builder — generate and iterate full-stack interfaces
Intense build sessions consume credits fast. Budget $200 if shipping multiple interfaces.
CC03
Claude (Anthropic)
Primary reasoning model — code review, architecture, logic
Pro is the floor. Max recommended if you're running long context builds.
CC04
ChatGPT (OpenAI)
Research, content drafting, and operator-side prompting
Plus is sufficient for the weekend unless you're running API calls through the Playground.
CC05
Canva
Brand assets, decks, and visual content for your product
Free tier handles most Mastermind work. Pro if you need background remover or brand kits.
CC06
Vercel
Production deployment and edge hosting for your app
Hobby works for the weekend. Pro needed for team access or custom domains at scale.
CC07
Supabase
Postgres database + auth + storage + realtime
Free tier is more than enough for a Mastermind build. Pro only if you go to production at scale.
CC08
Resend
Transactional email — confirmations, receipts, notifications
Free tier covers all Mastermind use cases. Most attendees will never hit the limit.
CC09
Retell AI + ElevenLabs
Voice agent infrastructure + AI voice synthesis (Amy)
Usage-based. Test calls add up. Budget $30 if you're demoing a live voice agent.
CC10
Cal.com
Scheduling and calendar automation
Free plan handles everything covered in the Mastermind.
CC11
Stripe
Payment processing and checkout infrastructure
No cost until your product takes money. Then you pay per transaction.

Free tier covers Mastermind scope. Paid tiers needed for production volume or team seats.
CC18
Neon
Serverless Postgres — branching database for Next.js apps
Free tier is sufficient for a weekend build. Scale when you go to production.
CC19–20
Cloudflare
DNS, CDN, WAF security, image delivery, and video streaming
Free plan handles DNS and WAF. Stream billed by video minutes — budget $30 if adding video.

Book the free fit call →Common questions
The honest answers, in writing.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. The tools handle the syntax. You need to describe what you want and follow the steps. Every person in the room starts from the same place.
What if my problem is too big for one day?
We scope it down in the first hour. The goal is the version that ships that day. You leave with the hardest part done and a clear path to the rest.
Who owns the code I build?
You do. It lives in a repository under your name from the moment it deploys. Paddock20 has no ongoing access unless you choose a retainer.
What is the difference between the one-day and two-day format?
September 12 is a single-day event — teaching and building compressed together. The Track Weekend (October onward) splits across Friday (the full stack, taught) and Saturday (your problem, built and shipped).
What is the refund policy?
Full refund 14 or more days out. 50% refund 7 to 13 days out. Inside seven days the seat is non-refundable but fully transferable to someone in your organisation.
Can Paddock20 just build it for me?
Yes. Automation work starts at $749. The fit call is fifteen free minutes — book it and get a ballpark on the first call, no commitment.

September 12 is a single day. Seven seats. This cohort does not repeat. Going forward the format is two days — the dry run is the only one that fits in a Saturday.
