How Skills, Evals, and Loops Clone Your A-Players Reliably

from Leveling Up with Eric Siu · host Eric Siu

👉 Growth Newsletter for top marketers: https://levelingup.beehiiv.com/subscribe Most companies try to hire their way to more A players. I built a system that mints them instead. In this video, I break down the three-part combo we use to reliably create A players inside our organization: skills, evals, and loops. This is the same framework we run in our six-week "pod of one" apprenticeship, where one person learns to do the work of four, five, or even ten roles by leveraging AI. Here's what I cover: ⬛ How services-as-software changes the math on labor hours and revenue per employee ⬛ What a skill actually is, and why it beats traditional processes nobody uses ⬛ How to build evals so you can prove a skill is good without trusting the vibes ⬛ How to chain skills into loops that kill your biggest weekly bottleneck ⬛ The exact run of show for our apprenticeship that you can steal and skillify yourself If you're a founder or operator, you have the invisible hammer to make this happen across your team. This is how you create predictability and reliability when it comes to minting A players. Chapters: 00:00 The Three-Part Combo 00:43 Services as Software Explained 01:44 The Skills Dojo 02:39 The Six-Week Apprenticeship 03:53 Defining Success and Done 04:38 What a Skill Actually Is 06:07 Why Single Brain Ties It Together 06:43 Skills as the Intention Behind Process 08:19 What an Eval Is and Why You Need One 09:07 What a Good Eval Looks Like 10:14 Chaining Skills Into Loops 11:54 Who Belongs in the Room 12:39 Skillify This Video Yourself 13:11 The Founder's Invisible Hammer 👉 Get 25k Words of AI-Powered SEO Content: https://clickflow.com/ 👉 Growth Newsletter for top marketers: https://levelingup.beehiiv.com/subscribe 👉 Single Grain - Ad Agency focused on innovation https://www.singlegrain.com
