with it, cool
I need more context - there are lots of expressions in English but it depends what you're talking about.
For example: Am I cool? You bet I'm cool ! (or "they").

They're ahead of the curve
'Similar to ahead of the pack, ahead of the curve literally refers to your position on the statistical bell curve, where the top of the curve represents the median, average result. By being ahead of the curve you represent the top percentile of results that either has the advanced skills or understanding that sets you apart.'
