What does the evening in Newport actually cover?
Work gets done rather than described. Real jobs go up on the screen: the inquiry that landed at eleven at night in July, the estimate you have been meaning to write, the email list you have not touched since Labor Day.
The trades in the room have almost nothing in common and take away the same set of uses. A painter, a Thames Street shop owner, a bookkeeper in Middletown, and a two-person boatyard service outfit all work from the same written tasks.
One evening and it is finished. No program to join, no monthly software, and nothing owed after you leave.
Is AI worth it for a small business in Newport, Rhode Island?
In a Newport business the hours vanish into writing. Replies, quotes, reminders, captions, notes for whoever is working the weekend. That work is what these tools handle well.
The line matters as much as the tools. What to charge, a tense conversation with a regular, anything that ends up public: none of that gets handed over, and the evening is direct about why.
You decide in the room. Say it missed before you leave and the registration fee is refunded.
Why is this AI seminar built for Newport businesses?
Newport runs hot and cold by the calendar. Summer arrives all at once and the shoulder seasons go quiet, so the written work that stacks up in August is often still sitting there in October.
The island is small and the market is not. A shop on Thames Street, a service business in Portsmouth, and an office off Broadway pull from very different customers.
Most operations here are small enough that the owner is the bottleneck. Getting work off that desk without adding a person is the point of the night.
What do Newport attendees walk away with?
- Nothing waits until the season slows. Draft replies to questions that arrive at all hours, ready for a quick check and a send.
- Estimates written from a page of notes. Turn what you jotted at the walkthrough into a quote you can price and send that day.
- Marketing built ahead of the rush. Produce a stretch of posts and emails in one sitting instead of scrambling weekly.
- Follow-up that does not slip. A repeatable way to circle back to everyone who asked and then went quiet.
- Written admin handled. Summaries, checklists, and repeat documents drafted from what you already have on file.
- The parts to keep yourself. A clear account of pricing calls, difficult conversations, and anything tied to your reputation.

How does a live seminar compare with free videos and an online course?
| This live seminar | Free online videos | Self-paced AI course | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Format | One live evening in Newport with questions handled in person. | Watched alone, with no way to ask why yours looks different. | Modules you take whenever the season allows, which is rarely. |
| Who it fits | Any owner or manager on the island, any trade, any size. | Aimed at a general audience with some assumed familiarity. | Broad business content that seldom fits a small island operation. |
| Getting going | You use the tools on your own work before the evening ends. | Closing the gap between watching and doing is your job. | Often weeks before you reach anything you can use. |
| The room | Newport-area owners from unrelated trades on the same problems. | Nothing local in it and nobody nearby to compare notes with. | Online communities exist, rarely with anyone from Rhode Island. |
| Cost | $49 early-bird while available, one evening, money-back guarantee. | Free, though sorting the useful from the rest takes hours. | Usually a monthly charge that runs whether you use it or not. |
What is Newport, RI actually like?
Newport sits at the south end of Aquidneck Island, with the harbor on one side, the Cliff Walk and Ocean Drive on the other, and the bridge to Jamestown overhead.
Business runs from the wharves and Thames Street up Broadway and Bellevue Avenue, then out through Middletown and Portsmouth where a lot of the island's trades are based.
Word gets around fast on an island. Answering quickly and following up counts for more here than any ad spend.
How Newport businesses are using AI right now
The jobs are the same whatever the business. Drafting a reply to an overnight question. Making a written quote out of notes from a visit. Reopening a conversation with someone who asked about price in the spring. Writing a run of posts from a few pictures.
Away from customers the same tools reduce a long thread to what was decided, write instructions for seasonal help, clean up a contact list, and draft the standard documents that never seem urgent.
Who teaches the Newport seminar?
Mike Filsaime teaches the Newport evening. He spent 25 years building companies, Groove, Kartra, WebinarJam, and EverWebinar among them, which means the methods on screen were run in working businesses long before they were taught.
Everything comes out in plain English. Technical terms get explained the first time they appear and nothing assumes you have touched these tools. Say what you want done and you can follow along.
In Newport he assembles each example live, taking questions from the seats. Seeing it built is the part that does not travel through a video.
What do people who have seen this say about it?
Thank you for your incredible knowledge and insight. It made a powerful impact. I don't take anyone's time lightly, least of all someone with your level of marketing genius.
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.
