The evening in Grand Rapids, explained
This seminar shows you exactly how AI accelerates the parts of your business that slow you down. Mike Filsaime walks you through workflows that cut email time, speed up sales cycles, and let your team focus on work that actually drives revenue instead of repetitive tasks.

Is AI worth it for a small business in Grand Rapids, Michigan?
If you're competing in the office furniture market or medical device space, you know execution speed wins. AI compresses your customer follow-up cycle, your quoting process, and your order management. This seminar shows you how to get there without needing new hires or retraining.
The agricultural and brewing communities in Grand Rapids move on relationships and reputation. AI doesn't replace that; it handles the scheduling, the email follow-up, and the customer record-keeping so your personal attention stays on what matters most.
The cost of waiting is that your competitors are already moving. This seminar gives you the exact entry point, the sequence, and the weekly focus so you're not starting from zero knowledge; you're starting from a working map.

A live seminar vs. free videos vs. an online course
| This live seminar | Free online videos | Self-paced AI course | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | Live in-person evening with Q&A and examples from Michigan manufacturing and brewing. | Random YouTube tutorials and blog posts without cohesion or business context. | Pre-recorded modules, self-paced, often generic and not industry-specific. |
| Relevance to your business | Mike uses examples from manufacturing, supply chain, and service businesses like yours. | Usually tech-focused, written by marketers, not operators in your space. | Broad and generic; you figure out how it applies to office furniture or brewing. |
| Implementation clarity | Step-by-step workflows you can start Monday morning in your real operation. | Scattered advice; you piece together your own implementation plan. | Theory and best practices; implementation gaps require trial and error. |
| Peer and community effect | Room full of Grand Rapids business owners solving the same problems. Networking included. | Solo learning, no peer accountability or feedback. | Isolated modules; you're learning alone without hearing how others adapt it. |
| Instructor credibility | Mike Filsaime has built multiple software companies and trained thousands. 25 years in digital business. | Mix of experts and content creators; hard to know credentials. | Course creators are often academics or marketers, not business builders. |

One facility cut the time from client request to initial design proposal from five days to one day, freeing the design team to develop better ideas instead of handling email.

Headlined by Mike Filsaime
The Grand Rapids session is taught by Mike Filsaime, who spent 25 years building digital businesses before he started teaching AI. He built Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar, which means the workflows in this room come from someone who had to make them work in his own companies first.
He is a pioneer in AI and online business, and his reputation rests on plain English. No jargon, no theory for its own sake, no assumption that you already know what a model or a prompt is. If you can describe the job you want done, you can follow what he shows you.
In Grand Rapids he works through the moves in front of the room, live, with time for questions from the people actually sitting there. You see the workflow built rather than described, which is the part that does not survive a recording.
People who have seen this in action
He'll not only make it simple, he'll make it very profitable.
When I saw what Winning With AI could do, I knew we had to move fast. Work that used to drag out for three months now gets delivered by my team in two or three days.
I'm a tougher critic, but Winning With AI blew me away. One idea showed me how to save thousands of dollars a month.
I had no coding experience. No technical background. Nothing. After seeing how to use AI in plain English, I built software and workflows that completely changed my company.
