The AI Conversation You’ve Been Waiting to Have
Empower Yourself. Equip Your People. Elevate Your Results.
You know AI matters.
You’re just not sure where to start, what’s real, or how to use it in a way that actually benefits you.
The problem?
Most conversations about AI are either:
- Overhyped nonsense—exaggerated claims that AI will take over the world and replace humans and jobs.
- Too tactical, too fast—lists of tools and prompts with zero strategy, context, or consideration for your actual goals.
Neither of those help you make smart, meaningful decisions about AI in your business and life.
What you need is a space to explore AI with nuance, practicality, and insight.
A conversation where you can ask real questions, challenge assumptions, and walk away clearer than before.
That’s what I do.
AI & Creativity Strategies without the Noise.
If you’re trying to make sense of AI without getting lost in the hype, you’re in the right place.
I help professionals, leaders, and creatives think more strategically about AI so they can use it in ways that are practical, meaningful, and aligned with their work.
For me, it’s all about the conversation. Conversations that spark dialogue, feel relevant, and ask questions you’re already thinking:
✔ What’s AI’s real role in my career and business?
✔ How do I use it to work smarter, not just faster?
✔ What should I ignore? What’s worth my time?
✔ How do I stay ahead without chasing trends?
✔ Where does human creativity fit into all of this?
This isn’t about chasing the latest AI trend. It’s about giving you the skills to think critically, work smarter, and stay ahead.
Leaders looking for a clear, strategic approach to AI
Professionals who want to stay ahead without the stress of keeping up with every new tool or getting sucked into the whirlpool of saccharine trends
Creatives who want to explore how AI can enhance their work without diminishing originality
