Yesterday morning, I had the privilege of presenting to the Driftless Referral Group about one of my favorite topics — how small businesses can start using AI today to make their lives easier, their work more productive, and their ideas more powerful.
And let me tell you… I saw eyes open.
Not just polite interest — genuine “wait a minute, I could actually use this!” realization. That spark is why I love what I do.
💡 Small Ideas, Big Impact
As I walked the group through real-world examples — automating emails, generating marketing content, streamlining processes, and building custom tools like my free assistant VERN — I couldn’t help but feel excited. Excited because for every head nod, every follow-up question, I could see the gears turning.
Each person in the room runs a business that could immediately benefit from AI tools… and most of them just needed someone to show them how.
It’s incredible to live in a time where a simple idea can be transformed into action with the help of a digital assistant — if we’re just willing to do the light legwork to set it up properly.
Think about that:
You can have an idea, explain it to a tool like ChatGPT, and have it take you 40–99% of the way there across multiple tasks — from writing, to planning, to summarizing, to organizing, to designing — all in minutes.
And this isn’t just theory. This is happening now.
🔧 You Don’t Have to Do It Alone
A lot of folks asked, “But how do I know what to use, or how to start?”
That’s where I come in.
I’m here to help small businesses:
- Set up smarter tech stacks
- Build and train custom GPTs tailored to your business
- Automate repetitive work
- Create content and marketing flows
- Design simple websites or dashboards
- And build long-term AI-powered strategies
Whether it’s a one-time project or an ongoing relationship, I’m available to work flexibly — daily, weekly, or monthly — to match your needs and budget.
🌱 A Growing Partnership
I’m excited to continue supporting the Driftless Referral Group and its members in the months ahead. The relationships we build in these rooms matter — and helping each of you embrace technology in a way that makes sense for your specific business is my mission.
