The Association for Payroll Specialists
Fishburners was so lucky to have Mike gracing our stage for our recent panel on AI. His expertise in artificial intelligence, energetic delivery and authentic energy made him a real star. Given his exceptional delivery you would have had no idea that I had only asked him an hour prior to be on the panel - his ability to gel immediately with the other panelists, seamlessly provide value throughout the conversation and provide high value tips, was echoed by the sponsors, attendees and team. As a nontechnical person he broke down the intricacies of artificial intelligence into bite size easy to understand pieces. We highly recommend Mike for any speaking engagements - he is a true asset!

Mike delivered an interactive introduction to AI with our Executive Team that helped us develop a greater understanding of how various forms of AI work and in particular, opportunities to leverage popular AI chat interfaces to level up our work. I'd highly recommend Mike to other progressive teams (including both teams with and without prior AI experience) who are looking to deepen their understanding of AI and its commercial applications.
