Scaling AI Wisdom: How Brooklyn Entrepreneurs Are Innovating Together

This year, my calendar has been a blur of airport codes, Hawaii, Nebraska, Texas, Virginia, Florida, and many others, all to help business owners across the country leverage AI. I've delivered countless presentations on making AI work for them, but a recent stop was really special!

Last week, I had the privilege of partnering with the local Chamber of Commerce right here in Brooklyn to connect with small business owners on AI growth strategies. Seeing the lightbulbs go off for my neighbors, knowing their wins as Brooklyn entrepreneurs are wins for our whole community, felt incredibly fulfilling.

The biggest moment of insight wasn't from my presentation, though. It was the dynamic during the Q&A. The questions quickly pivoted from "how-to" to "what-if," and attendees started sharing their own unique AI use cases with each other. Everyone is applying this technology so differently, and the cross-pollination of ideas was exciting!

That collective exchange solidified my conviction, expertise isn't just about what you know, it's about the platform you create for others to share what they are learning.

A huge thank you to Randy Peers and Grow with Google for making this event possible! Thank you Kenroy Tyrell for sharing your AI expertise to help support the participants!
