Bud
“I loved your energy and compassion and sharing the real-time example was powerful. One thing that I took away was that this is not a time to get stuck in perfectionism. You can’t break AI so experiment and play and learn. It’s moving too fast to wait. Thank you for lighting a fire to get moving.”

“All the aspects of AI stand out to me, but one thing in your class that stood out was the topic of pre-programming (which I know is the main idea). It stood out because at Carlson & Co. we are not solely focused on one particular service. Whereas some companies are. The thought of “training” ChatGPT on all aspects of our company got my mind going. I immediately began introducing Chat to Carlson & Co. back when you and I had our first encounter with AI. However yesterday, I took a different approach. I started asking AI questions or giving it statements that I would normally type into Google. You are right! Paid advertising is on the way out the door if it’s as easy as asking Chat without the extra and unwanted information.”

“I was skeptical and a little worried I wouldn’t be able to comprehend AI and maybe it will go away. Bud made the class fun and easy to understand- plus he was able to share the importance of implementing AI in an easy way. He is knowledgeable without talking over your head and engaging without talking down to you. It’s like learning something new from a friend. Although I did not use everything he gave me, I did take away some editing ideas that has saved me over 20 hours of work just this month alone. It has changed my life, thank you Bud.”

“Bud Johnson’s digital marketing presentation took us on a wild ride! He cut through the techno-jargon, giving us a clear roadmap to rev up our strategies. It was like he passed us the keys to a souped-up engine and said, “Let’s hit the accelerator!” Bud made integrating AI into our playbook feel like second nature. He showed us how to fine-tune, not overhaul, our approach. His genius insights on business scaling were a game-changer. He didn’t just talk theory, he gave us a playbook for success. What really struck a chord with me was how accessible Bud made this seemingly complex subject. He demystified AI and made it feel like a natural extension of our marketing efforts. It’s not about reinventing the wheel; it’s about fine-tuning our strategies with the power of AI. As a Gen-Xer that is sometime hesitant about using new tech but also very serious about business growth, Bud’s techniques are your secret weapon. Don’t miss out on this digital marketing revolution! Buckle up, because this is the edge you’ve been waiting for!”

“I really enjoyed the class. I have been using AI for a little bit now with my website but I never really knew the potential until taking your class. So I can’t pinpoint one part as the entire class was eye opening.”

“I’ve finally taken the time to build GPT into my content planning workflows and I am AMAZED. I took some time to be thoughtful about my custom instructions and I think it’s really enhanced the quality of output im getting. I’ve planned content for almost two months, written 3 great blog posts, and updated some of my website copy in the last week or so. It’s seriously like having an employee readily available at my fingertips 24/7. Thanks for all of your insight, Bud. The things I’ve learned here are quite literally changing the way I run my business.”

“Bud’s class was very informative, especially because I actually understood it. And I am not very computer savvy! I appreciate the info given in a fun and “dinosaur-friendly” way! I am looking forward to using more AI in my business. Thanks again Bud!”
