What Attendees Said

Bill T.

“Rich, I learned more from your ‘Speaking and Presenting to a Group’ class in one hour than I did in four years of college. Your class was presented with such incredible knowledge and experience. It was truly engaging. The ‘way’ you presented it was a clinic. The humor and empathy you brought to the session were icing on the cake. I’ve taken many classes, but yours was exceptional. Whatever other classes you teach, I’m in!”

Crystal K.

“Richard, your AI & ChatGPT class for beginners was fantastic! You explained everything so clearly, making it easy to understand, even for someone not tech-savvy like me. The highlight was showing me how ChatGPT can be questioned to respond like a smart human. I really appreciated your 7 days of follow-up support. This training is perfect for anyone like me who is new to AI and ChatGPT. Highly recommended. Thank you, Rich!”

Kevin T.

“Just thinking about writing a book seemed to be overwhelming to me until I took your class. You have a unique way of simplifying and explaining the complicated. Especially the ‘getting started’ part. Thank you for the introduction to the resources I would have never found on my own. Also thank you for the free copy of your book. I’m actually going to use it as a chapter and layout guide for mine. Thank you again.” Kev
