Built for people running real businesses.

Practical AI Foundations is for anyone who needs AI to produce real results at work. You don’t need a technical background. You need access to an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) and a willingness to build during the sessions.

If you’re running a larger operation that needs organization-wide implementation, this program isn’t the right fit — a deeper engagement will serve you better. Start a conversation instead.

Business owners and entrepreneurs

Solopreneurs and self-employed professionals

Executives and managers

Professionals using AI daily but not getting real results

Learning outcomes.

Each session builds on the last. By the end, you have working systems — not just ideas.

A custom AI persona

Built to reflect your brand voice, your role, and how you actually communicate.

A personal prompt library

Reusable prompts built around your most common tasks — ready to use the day you leave.

An AI inbox triage system

Email and calendar integrations configured and running — less time in your inbox.

A content engine baseline

A repeatable system for generating content in your voice, without starting from scratch.

A personal AI operating routine

A daily and weekly rhythm for using AI intentionally — so it becomes a habit, not a novelty.

A review request system

An AI-assisted workflow for generating and managing client reviews.

Three sessions. Three weeks.

90 minutes per session, live on Zoom. You build in each session — not just watch.

No. We start from wherever you are. The only requirements are access to an LLM (ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini) and a willingness to build during sessions.

What is the format?

Three live Zoom sessions, 90 minutes each, once per week. Sessions are interactive — you build during each one.

Is this for businesses of all sizes?

Built for individuals — business owners, solopreneurs, executives, and professionals. If you’re running a larger operation that needs organization-wide implementation, a deeper engagement will serve you better. Start a conversation here.

Are sessions recorded?

Sessions are live and not recorded so the group stays focused and engaged.
