Free AI 101 Training for Small Business Owners — August 1

Most AI 101 classes give you an hour of feeling a little smarter and nothing you can actually use. No notes you'll open again, no next step — just vibes.

This one's built differently. You walk out with four real deliverables — things you can screenshot, save, and use the same night. Free, live, and built for a small business owner with zero technical background. No jargon, no pitch disguised as a training.

When is it?

August 1, 9:00–10:00 AM Eastern. One hour, live over Zoom. A replay is included if you can't make it live.

The four deliverables

Here's exactly what you're walking out with — no catch, nothing held back for a pitch later:

• 1. The major AI players, compared. A real breakdown of ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Microsoft Copilot, Perplexity, and two lesser-known tools worth knowing about — what each one costs, and what it's actually good for. You'll leave knowing which one to start with instead of guessing.
• 2. The privacy playbook. What these tools do with your data, what "opting out of training" actually means, and the practical rules for using AI like an adult — without the fear that's been keeping you from starting.
• 3. Four use cases you can build that weekend. Live, on screen, I build four small AI agents from scratch — a dinner-planning helper, an email organizer, a calendar and scheduling assistant, and a meeting/call follow-up agent that turns messy notes into a clean action list. None of them are flashy. Together, they're the difference between running your life off sticky notes and having something that runs alongside you.
• 4. Permission to actually enjoy this. The side of AI nobody shows you in the serious classes — using it as a creative thought partner, not just a task manager.

What you need before you start

Just three things: a computer or tablet, an open mind (skepticism welcome, we'll address it), and one hour.
