Veteran-owned · Marion, Indiana
Two ways to get AI working for you
Whether you want to build AI skills yourself or have us build the solution, we meet you where you are.
We train on the AI tools your team already uses or asks for: Copilot, ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, Gemini and others. Each person aims to leave with a working AI tool for a task they repeat.
Learn AI
Hands-on workshops where your team learns to use the AI tools it already has, safely and well. Each person aims to leave with a working AI tool for a task they repeat, not a slide deck.
- Coaching, 3-hour short courses, or full-day workshops
- Regulation-aware from the first hour
- Onsite across Indiana. Coaching and short courses also run online.
Build it for me
You describe the problem. We design and build the AI-powered solution. PWAs, workflow tools, websites, SEO, or custom software.
- Custom-scoped projects, priced per engagement
- PWAs, dashboards, automation, SEO/GEO
- From intake call to working product
What people are saying
"Mike has a strong grasp of the technology, but what I appreciate most is how he makes it approachable. He helped move AI from something abstract to something we can actually use."
"Made all those complicated concepts so easy to understand. The BoodleBox hands-on part was awesome. I'm already thinking of ways to use this in my teaching."
"If I had to pick people who had nothing to do with my salary who provided the most value-added to my work, you would be in the top three."
"I think I'm writing the best class I've ever written. Definitely more detailed."
"Mike, you have been the voice for VR over the last year and beyond."
"I just felt compelled to let you know that you gave me a new outlook in my life. I finally feel I have a path that I can start down and with your help of the map, I will be going in the right direction."

What we stand on
Six values we apply every time, regardless of audience or room.
-
Bridge Building
We stand between people and tools that can feel out of reach. The work is crossing first, then turning around to coach others across.
-
People Before Process
AI should extend human judgment, not replace it. Every workflow we teach keeps a person in the decision seat.
-
Honest Craft
Plain language. Real examples. No jargon theater. If we can't explain it to a new learner, we rework it until we can.
-
Growth Mindset
The model changes every quarter. The craft of teaching it stays steady. We keep learning in public so you can too.
-
Ethical Compass
We do not set your regulatory floor. We help you recognize the one your work already sits inside, then design around it. Student records, protected health data, pastoral confidences, and donor trust come first.
-
Courageous Innovation
Someone has to walk across the bridge first. We take that step publicly, document what breaks, and share the route.
