Let’s talk AI.
Like it or not, AI is here. Three years ago, we were all saying, "AI might not take your job, but a person using AI might." That's still true, but now we know what that actually means in practice."
My goal isn't to convince you to like AI, it's to help you understand what it is and how to make it work for you.
I also want to help you spot opportunities where AI can genuinely help in your current role, and just as importantly, where you should steadfastly avoid AI and lean into human intelligence.
To do this, we’re offering a small, hands-on workshop in Mill Valley on Jan 29th. These sessions are based on what we’ve learned from working with more than a thousand people across private equity, marketing, nonprofits, and beyond. Spoiler — it’s more about the people, and less about the tech.
Please join us for a fun, informative evening that could change how the next year plays out for you.

Your Facilitators
Matt Strain. I’ve led AI workshops for thousands of professionals across industries -- from Blackstone and Francisco Partners to the United Nations and local nonprofits like Bridge the Gap. I’ve been fortunate to work in strategy and innovation roles at Apple and Adobe, and my AI work has been cited in outlets such as Forbes and The New York Times. My focus now is helping people understand AI in a practical, human-centered way so they can use it with clarity and confidence.
Meghan Boots. Meghan has led marketing teams at Adobe and Autodesk. She's one of the sharpest and most joyful people you'll meet, with deep insight into how AI is reshaping creative and strategic work. I’m excited to co-facilitate these sessions with her.
Reserve Your Spot
Our workshop is deliberately small so we can work through real examples and questions together.
