Speaking, workshops and classes
AI talks, workshops and setup classes.
For teams, founders and solopreneurs: which AI tools to use, how to set them up on the devices you already own, and what changes for marketing and one-person companies. In person across Dallas-Fort Worth, anywhere by travel, or online.
Talks and classes
AI in a small business, without the hype
Chambers, associations, owner groups, SBDC and franchise events
What AI is good at today, where it still fails, and how to pick the first three jobs to hand it. Owners leave with a short plan for their own business, not a list of apps.
Solopreneurship in the age of AI
Founders, freelancers, consultants and side-business owners
Running a one-person company with AI as the team: research, marketing, sales follow-up and operations. Drawn from building six products on my own and what actually held up.
AI for marketing teams
Marketing departments, agencies and franchise marketing groups
Content, research, reporting and CRM workflows that survive contact with a real calendar, with live demos. From nine years running marketing across 219 locations.
Hands-on: set up AI on the devices you already have
Teams, classes and small groups, laptops and phones out
A practical class. By the end everyone has ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini set up properly on their own laptop and phone, knows which tool to use for what, and has seen private AI that runs on their own computer.
AI in coworking and flexible workspace
Operators, franchise systems and industry conferences
Where AI already pays off in a flex-space business: lead response, tours, member service and reporting. The subject of my 2025 GWA Flex Forward talk.

Questions organizers ask
Do you speak outside Dallas-Fort Worth?
Yes. I am based in Dallas-Fort Worth and travel for talks and workshops. Travel costs are added to the quote, and virtual sessions work anywhere.
Can a session be online?
Yes. Keynotes, workshops and coaching all work on Zoom, Teams or Google Meet. Hands-on setup classes work best in person but can run online.
What do people need for the hands-on setup class?
Their own laptop and phone, charged, and the login for any AI subscription they already pay for. I bring the plan, and nobody needs to be technical.
Can the talk be tailored to our industry?
Every session is. Tell me who is in the room and what they struggle with, and the examples and demos are built around their work.
How far ahead should we book?
Four to six weeks is comfortable for a keynote or workshop. Coaching and small classes can often happen within a week or two.
