I'm putting on a workshop for small business owners on May 28th in San Jose at the MLK Library. It's hosted by the Silicon Valley Small Business Development Center, and the focus is simple: how to use AI and social media without living on it all day.
Most small business owners I work with tell me the same thing. They know they need to post. They know they need to stay active. But they hate the time it takes, and they never know what to say.
That's the problem I solve. Not with another content calendar template. Not with another AI tool that spits out generic posts. But with one repeatable workflow that takes 15 minutes a day and fits your business.
I've launched three startups. One ended in an acquisition. I've spent years building go-to-market strategies and helping founders run their own marketing without burning out. The truth is you don't need a marketing team. You need one habit that works.
At this workshop, I'll walk you through the practical workflows and time-saving templates you can start using the next day. No fluff. No theory. Just the systems I use with clients who need to stay visible without adding another full-time job.
If you can't make it to San Jose but you want help building your own 15-minute marketing habit, I'm offering free 15–20 minute marketing audits. I'll review what you're doing now, give you one or two quick wins, and build your first week of content with you.

Or if you're in the Bay Area on May 28th, I'd love to see you at the workshop.

You spent two hours last week writing LinkedIn posts. You published three. Two got six likes total.
That's not a content problem. That's a workflow problem.
I'm running a free workshop in San Jose on May 28 where I'll walk you through the exact AI-assisted workflows I use to help small business owners produce a week of content in under 30 minutes.
You'll see live demos. You'll leave with templates you can use the next day. No fluff, no pitch, just practical tools that save you real time.
I've launched three startups with one acquisition exit. The pattern is always the same: founders who ship repeatable systems fast win over the ones who overthink every post.

Most small business owners I talk to say the same thing: they know they need to be active on social and stay visible to customers, but they don't have time to figure out what works or keep up with every new tool.
That's exactly why we're hosting a hands-on workshop on May 28th at San Jose State.
This isn't a webinar you watch and forget. It's a working session designed for business owners who want practical answers, not more theory.
Here's what we'll cover:
The latest AI marketing technologies that are actually useful for small businesses—not the hype, just the tools and workflows that save time and improve results.
The real challenges SMBs face when adopting AI for marketing, and how to navigate them without adding complexity.
How to build an AI-ready team through training and upskilling, even if you're working with limited resources.
You'll also get time to bring your specific questions and get direct input from our team on what makes sense for your business.
You'll leave with a clear plan you can start using right away.
Seats are limited—we're keeping this small and interactive. If you've been putting off learning how AI can fit into your marketing without taking over your entire week, this is the session to attend.
May 28th at SJSU. Registration is open now.
Send me a message if you want details or have questions about whether this is right for your business.
