Getting Started with AI for Small Businesses

I recently delivered a keynote presentation on the topic of “AI Driven Success: Embracing the Future of Business Today” The presentation was well-received, and I have received numerous emails and messages from individuals interested in accessing the keynote and obtaining further information. In response to this demand, I decided to create a long-format blog post that expands on the content covered in the keynote. This blog post aims to provide a comprehensive resource for businesses looking to venture into the realm of AI. Thanks to all who attended! Read More

The Business Of Who.

The night before the ON Brand conference 2023, I sent LinkedIn messages to Ross Asdourian and several other presenters, a good way to meet before the buzz began.

Congratulations Bozell 2018 AdWars Champions

It’s a grueling and treacherous evening of famous jingles and tag lines. Most of all it’s always fun!
After four rounds of trivia questions and one creative round Bozell was crowned with the new traveling trophy. Read More
