A 90-minute working session — no slides, no theory — where we look at your actual business and figure out exactly where AI saves you time. You leave with a plan and the tools running.
The honest truth
You've heard about ChatGPT. You may have even tried it once, got something generic, and moved on. That's not AI failing — that's the setup problem. The difference between AI that wastes your time and AI that gives it back is knowing exactly how to use it for your specific business. That's what I do.
Product descriptions. Social captions. Follow-up emails. Proposals. Every week you write something you've essentially written before — and it eats time you don't have.
You've seen the robot-speak. "Excited to share this amazing opportunity!" isn't your voice. The tools aren't the problem — learning to make them sound like you is.
There's no shortage of AI education. What's missing is someone sitting across from you, looking at your actual business, and showing you what changes on Monday.
They've just removed themselves from the tasks that don't require them. That's the only variable. The rest — product knowledge, client relationships, expertise — stays entirely yours.
The session
Every session produces specific, usable deliverables — not a list of things to Google later.
"You're editing instead of starting from a blank page. Your voice stays. The blank page disappears."
Who this is for
This isn't enterprise software training. It's for business owners who are doing real work every day and need real time back — not another subscription to figure out.
Not in one of these categories? If you're running a small business and spending too much time on writing, communication, or repetitive admin — there's likely a session in it. Send me a note.
Investment
Start with a single session. Scale if it makes sense. Every engagement begins with a conversation, not a contract.
Sessions available in-person in the Leawood/Kansas City area and via video call. Have questions about which option makes sense? Start with the email below — I'll give you a straight answer, not a sales pitch.
Why me
I co-founded Smitten Booktique, a romance and romantasy independent bookstore in Leawood, Kansas, with my wife Kara. I'm the one building the inventory systems, writing the product descriptions, managing the Shopify backend, and figuring out how to make AI actually work for a real small business — not a hypothetical one.
Before Smitten, I spent over 20 years in technical sales, working with businesses across the country on complex systems and implementations. I know how to run a discovery conversation, understand what a business actually needs, and translate complicated tools into language that makes operational sense.
When I sit across from a business owner, I'm not selling you on AI. I'm sharing what I've learned running a business that depends on it working — and showing you exactly how to make it work for yours.
Let's talk
Send me a note with a little context about your business and what's eating your time. I'll come back with a straight answer about whether a session makes sense — and what it would look like.
