Schedule

601 Caroline St, Ste 303, Fredericksburg, VA, United States, Virginia 22401 | Fredericksburg, VA
Join us for the launch of FXBG Local Loop, a new quarterly workshop series created to support small businesses located in the City of Fredericksburg (22401 zip code), with our first session focused on navigating AI in a practical, realistic way.
This workshop will be led by Madeline McMahon, who works at the intersection of marketing, operations, and emerging technology. Madeline helps small business owners make sense of AI without fear, hype, or oversharing, focusing on how real businesses operate with limited time, resources, and imperfect information.
Rather than treating AI as a replacement for people or judgment, Madeline will explore how it can be used as:
A thinking partner
A process assistant
A tool to reduce unnecessary friction—when it’s the right fit
Known for her practical, conversational teaching style, Madeline’s sessions help business owners walk away clearer, more confident, and better equipped to make smart decisions about AI that fit their business—not someone else’s playbook.
