Winning With AI, a Sunday Morning in Scranton
Sunday is the one morning most Scranton owners are not owed anywhere. From 10:00 AM in the old Lackawanna Station on Lackawanna Avenue, the work that eats a week gets done on stage: answering people, following up on the ones who went quiet, writing the quote, writing the marketing, settling on a time, and retyping documents you have typed a dozen times. Finished by half past twelve. Early bird seats are $49 while they last.
Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Avenue, Scranton, PA 18503 · Sunday, August 23, 2026 at 10:00 AM · $49 early-bird seat.

Winning With AI is a live, in person seminar at the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel, 700 Lackawanna Avenue, on Sunday, August 23, 2026, at 10:00 AM. Owners, managers, and staff from every kind of small business in Scranton and Northeastern Pennsylvania are welcome, whether that is a shop on Lackawanna Avenue, a heating crew running out of Dunmore, a two person office in Green Ridge, or one person doing all of it.

What does the evening in Scranton actually cover?
One Sunday morning in the old station building, with the work done live and the steps written up where the room can copy them down.
Every item is something a Scranton business already handles by hand. Answering while the caller is still shopping. A follow up on day three that nobody had to remember. A quote or estimate written out of rough notes. A month of marketing in one sitting. A pile of scheduling messages turned into one. The summaries, checklists, and standard documents that keep getting retyped.
Some of the morning is about what not to do with it. What you charge is a judgment call. So is a conversation with somebody who is angry, and so is anything that goes out in public with your name on it. A tool can produce a draft toward any of those. It should not be the one deciding.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Scranton, Pennsylvania?
A seat is $49 early bird while they last. Sit through the morning, and if it is not right for you, say so before you leave the room and your registration fee comes back.
What is missing in Scranton has never been effort. It is hours in the day. The message that sat until Wednesday. The estimate written long after the shop closed. Half a year with nothing posted anywhere. Four emails to lock in one appointment. That same sheet keyed in by hand again.
The morning hands that pile to something built for it and leaves the parts that need a person untouched. You leave with the steps written down and nothing waiting to be bought.
Why is this AI seminar built for Scranton businesses?
Whether you are in Scranton, Dunmore, Carbondale, Archbald, Clarks Summit, Old Forge, or the towns around Lackawanna County, the morning is meant for you. What you sell never comes up as a condition.
A remodeling crew working West Scranton. A pizza place in Old Forge. A barbershop on Adams Avenue. A landscaper covering Clarks Summit and Waverly. A two person tax office on Wyoming Avenue. A gym off Meadow Avenue. A cleaning company running Dunmore and Throop. A nonprofit near Nay Aug Park. A real estate agent listing in Green Ridge. A muffler shop on Providence Road. An online seller boxing orders in a Moosic garage. A dental office in Dickson City. Somebody who is the entire staff. The same paperwork in every case.
That is why every example has to work across all of them. A move that only helps one line of business does not make the agenda.
What do Scranton attendees walk away with?
- First reply, not best intentions. People in NEPA call around before deciding. Having solid answers ready for the questions you hear all the time means yours is already sitting there when they look.
- Follow up on rails. Tuesday's lead has not been dropped, it just has not been touched. The follow up gets built once so it keeps going through a flat out week and a slow one.
- Scribble to signed estimate. A voice note from a porch in Old Forge or a page of handwriting becomes a quote or proposal in your own wording, sent before you are back downtown.
- Review a batch, do not start blank. A single angle fills weeks of emails, posts, and offers. Monday becomes reading through a batch and scheduling it.
- End the time negotiation. Landing on a time creates more useless back and forth than anything else you do, and worse when the job is up in Carbondale. There is a straightforward way to make it one message.
- The documents that only exist because they must. The recap nobody reads, the checklist for a new hire, the standard document that gets rebuilt from nothing every month. Least glamorous stretch of the morning, most copied down.
- What stays with you. Pricing judgment does not move, and neither does the upset customer call or anything public carrying your name. Sunday says why plainly.

What is Scranton, PA actually like?
Scranton is a city of neighborhoods that each behave a little differently. Downtown along Lackawanna Avenue and Adams Avenue, business happens on foot and the customer decides at the window. Up in Green Ridge, out in West Scranton, over in Dunmore, it is a truck, a phone, and a route, and plenty of customers never see where you work from.
What holds across all of it is speed and the drive. People want an answer the same day, and a Sunday call that goes to voicemail is usually somebody else's job by Monday. Running out to Carbondale or up to Clarks Summit for a look takes an hour before the work starts, and one February morning on I-81 can undo a week of scheduling. If something can be settled in writing, writing is faster.
The morning is built around that. Nothing gets shown that you could not have running before Monday.
How Scranton businesses are using AI right now
A number of NEPA businesses already do pieces of this quietly, with nobody technical anywhere near it.
A gutter company keeps written answers ready for the questions every first call starts with. A caterer in Dunmore turns a phone conversation into a written quote before the next call rings. A tattoo shop on Penn Avenue writes a month of posts in one Sunday sitting. A one person bookkeeper hands over a page of meeting scrawl and gets back a clean summary with next steps. A driveway sealing outfit stopped trading emails over appointment windows. An upholstery shop in Moosic wrote its standard customer instructions once instead of typing them fresh for every job.
None of it needed a developer, and none of it moved judgment off the owner. Pricing, the difficult conversation, the reply that goes out in public: still a person who knows the customer.
Who teaches the Scranton seminar?
The seminar in Scranton is led by Mike Filsaime, a 25-year veteran of online business and founder of Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar. Hundreds of thousands of companies worldwide rely on these platforms to run their operations, manage their events, and deliver to their customers every day. That scale did not come from accident. It came from Mike solving real problems for real businesses.
Mike's entire career is built on one conviction: owners should not need a computer science degree or a team of developers to run their business. When he created Kartra, he did it because the alternative platforms were too complex for busy owners. When he built WebinarJam, he simplified technology that others had made complicated. His reputation, his success, and his track record are all anchored to the principle that technology should work for the owner, never the other way around. That means no jargon, no sales pitch, and no wasted time.
On Sunday, August 23 he brings that same philosophy to the Radisson Lackawanna Station Hotel in downtown Scranton. You get a hands-on working morning built on examples that matter to Scranton and Lackawanna Valley owners: retail shops and restaurants, contractors and trades, medical and healthcare offices, manufacturers, and service businesses. You see AI working on the actual problems these businesses face, you ask questions on the spot when you want clarification, and you leave with a step-by-step plan and the specific tools you need to execute on Monday morning.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
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.

Can my staff come to the Scranton seminar with me?
Yes. Whoever handles your quotes, replies, and forms is the person this lands on hardest, so bring them. Every attendee needs a seat of their own at the early bird price while it holds.
What will I actually be able to do after the Scranton morning?
Set up ready answers for your most common questions, get follow up running without remembering it, turn notes into a quote or proposal, write a batch of marketing in one sitting, cut the scheduling messages down, and hand off routine written admin. The steps for each are written out in the room.
