Why I'm Teaching This (And Why I Almost Didn't)

I've spent the last 20 years building and running real businesses from insurance, real estate, commercial signage, and personal defense training. I've worked with my hands, managed sales teams, and taught thousands of people how to succeed in real-world roles that don't come with a manual.

After two decades of that grind, my wife Karen and I wanted something different. Not retirement but clarity. Time that felt like ours. A life we built on purpose.

These days, we run a working homestead in Northeast Arkansas. We raise our own food, manage our land, and run Your Peak AI on our terms. No office. No commute. No 60-hour weeks. That's not luck, it's systems.

But here's the thing: For almost two years, I avoided AI completely. I didn't trust it. I wasn't sure where it was headed. The more I watched, the more I realized we're barreling toward a crisis most people don't see coming: AI dependency forming before anyone teaches people how to use it the right way.

If this technology is going to be part of our lives whether we like it or not, someone needs to teach it with intention, not hype. Someone who understands what it's like to run a real business, manage real problems, and protect time that actually matters.

This course isn't about making you an “AI person.” It's about using AI to stop doing $15/hour work so you can focus on $100/hour decisions. It's about reclaiming time and mental space while staying fully human in the process.

I built this for people like the ones I've worked with for 20 years, tradespeople, small business owners, sales professionals, parents juggling it all. People who don't have time to waste on theory but need help that actually works.

If that's you, I think you'll find this worth your time.
