I Built an Interactive Voice-Narrated Masterclass From My Book in One Weekend

I turned my recently published book Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change into a free, interactive, voice-narrated masterclass.

No production team. No studio. No six-month timeline. No $10K budget required.

One AI-powered workflow. One conversation. One weekend.

Here's exactly how I did it, because this is what the future of content creation looks like, and most leaders still aren't seeing it.

It started with a simple question: what if Now What? How to Ride the Tsunami of Change wasn't just something you read, but something you experienced?

I'm talking about an 8-episode interactive course with animated slide presentations, my voice narrating every framework, quizzes that challenge your assumptions, and action plans you build in real time. The kind of production that would normally require an instructional designer, a web developer, a voice-over studio, and a project manager holding it all together.

I did it with Claude Opus 4.6 on a Max plan and a systematic process. Let me walk you through it.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗰𝗲𝘀𝘀

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟭: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗲𝗴𝗮-𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗽𝘁

I wrote a detailed instruction set, not a casual "summarize my book" request, but an architectural blueprint. It told Claude exactly how to analyze the book, extract the frameworks, and structure them into 8 episodes that tell a coherent transformation story for senior leaders.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟮: 𝗕𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗔𝗻𝗮𝗹𝘆𝘀𝗶𝘀

Claude mapped every chapter, framework, and concept into an 8-episode arc. From the wake-up call of exponential change, through the technology deep-dives and risks, into the human capital challenge, and finally my WAVE framework with a concrete 90-day action plan. Every episode builds on the last. Not a summary, a learning journey.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟯: 𝗜𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗰𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀

8 fully interactive HTML presentations. Not PowerPoint, living web experiences with animated reveals, a dark premium aesthetic, progress tracking, keyboard navigation, quizzes, and reflection exercises. Each one is a standalone application.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟰: 𝗡𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗦𝗰𝗿𝗶𝗽𝘁𝘀

Over 13,000 words of presenter scripts, written to match my speaking style, synced to every slide transition and element reveal.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟱: 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗣𝗹𝗮𝘁𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺

A dashboard tying all 8 episodes together with progress tracking, a transcript panel, and an audio-sync engine that auto-advances slides as the narration plays.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟲: 𝗩𝗼𝗶𝗰𝗲 𝗖𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 + 𝗔𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗼 𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

This is where it gets wild. I connected ElevenLabs directly to Claude Code via MCP. My cloned voice. All 8 episodes of narration generated automatically. Slides advancing in perfect sync with my voice.

𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗽 𝟳: 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗽𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁

Deployed to thedigitalspeaker.com with a gated enrollment form feeding directly into my Ghost CMS. I connected my Figma to Claude via MCP to leverage the designs I have there to ensure the form looked exactly like the rest. Name, email, newsletter subscription. One command and Claude Code deployed it directly to my Github. Live within five minutes.

Book → Interactive masterclass → Voice-narrated → Deployed. One workflow.

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗺𝗲𝗮𝗻𝘀

I've always insisted that AI doesn't replace expertise, it amplifies it. This is proof.

The ideas are mine. The WAVE framework is mine. 15 years of research, fieldwork, and lived experience behind every concept, that's mine. What AI eliminated was the production bottleneck between having deep knowledge and delivering it at scale.

That's the shift I keep driving home to every leadership team I work with. The competitive advantage isn't "using AI." It's combining human expertise with AI execution at a speed that was physically impossible two years ago, or even two months ago.

I went from a 300-page book to a fully interactive, voice-narrated digital masterclass in a single workflow. No team. No budget. No waiting.

𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗾𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝘀 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝘃𝗲. 𝗜𝘁'𝘀 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂'𝗿𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗱 𝗼𝗳 𝗰𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Every leader reading this has intellectual property sitting in documents, decks, and books that could be transformed into interactive learning experiences. The technology exists right now. The question is whether you'll use it, or watch someone else do it first.

This is what riding the tsunami looks like. Not talking about change. Building with it.

The masterclass is free, available here.
