Yesterday I had a meeting with the director of our local Chamber of Commerce and scheduled an AI workshop in my local community for mid-August. I live in a small rural county in Mississippi where a lot of people know who I am already, but I'm still a bit nervous to put myself out there like this. I've told a few people about it already and there seems to be some excitement around the idea. I plan to keep this first one high level and try not to get too much in the weeds. This first event will be free and we are opening it to anyone who wants to attend, business owner or not. But I do hope to connect with business owners and get a few leads for AI implementation or consulting. So, any pointers? 😁

Hey team! I'm Jonathan. I have owned a web agency for 15+ years and have been building WordPress websites for even longer. I recently found Ryan's podcast and have been binging just about every episode! I had already started building out and converting old WordPress sites to Astro with Claude Cowork, so I felt like @Ryan Doser and I were brothers from the start! Fun tidbit: After listening to the Rank and Rent podcast episode, I built out a complete site and it's already ranking (albeit on page 4 of Google)! I'm amped to be here and am already so grateful for this community!
