A lot of people are curious about Al.
But curiosity without direction just becomes overwhelm.
That is exactly why I built this workshop.
Not to throw buzzwords at you. Not to make you feel behind. But to sit down with you, in plain language, and show you what Al actually is, what it can do for YOUR life and YOUR work, and how to start using it without the tech background and without the confusion.
This Wednesday we go live.
If you are a nurse, a realtor, a business owner, or honestly just a human being trying to keep up with a world that is moving fast - this is for you.
Registration is still open and it is completely free.
Drop a ME in the comments if you are coming and I will make sure you have everything you need before
Wednesday night.

This week’s community spotlight goes to a place that just might be Southwest Florida’s best kept secret. 🏆

Meet in Bonita Springs the ONLY Michelin Bib Gourmand restaurant in all of Southwest Florida.

Yes. Right here in our backyard.

If you have not been yet, here is what you need to know. Wood fired pizzas, creative cocktails, and a menu that will genuinely surprise you. The Peach and Gorgonzola pizza, the Shroom Shawarma, and the Bacon Fat Washed Bourbon are all getting people talking — and for good reason.

The Michelin Bib Gourmand award means exceptional food at a reasonable price. It is one of the hardest recognitions to earn and Canary Club earned it right here in Bonita Springs.

This is exactly the kind of place that makes living in Southwest Florida special.

We made it to Friday.

This week we talked about something most people scroll past without a second thought. And you stayed with me. That means something.

Here is what we covered this week:

Monday-most people cannot explain AI governance. Including the people selling it.

Tuesday -AI governance is simply the rules around AI. Who uses it, how, and who is accountable when something goes wrong.

Wednesday -this is not just for big tech. If you are using AI in your business right now, you are already in this conversation.

Thursday -governance protects three things you cannot afford to lose. Your data, your reputation, and your liability.

And today I want to leave you with this.

AI is not slowing down. The question is not whether it will affect your world. It already is. The question is whether you will be informed enough to navigate it with confidence.

That is exactly why I am here.

If this week added value to your life, share this post with someone who needs to hear it. And follow this page. There is a lot more where this came from.

See you Monday.
