Key Takeaways
- AI drives real ROI fast — One client completed an 8-week AI workshop series and identified over 2,000 hours of annual time savings before even finishing week six, translating to roughly $150K/year, depending on the team.
- Prompting well = guiding well — Mike’s team invested ~7,000 hours in building “universal accelerator” prompts designed to produce high-quality outputs without hallucinations, and has since expanded into building AI agent frameworks with built-in quality assurance and self-scoring.
- Faith and marketplace influence go hand in hand — Mike’s core mission is to equip Christian business owners to use AI not just for efficiency but to expand their capacity for relationships and influence — framing AI stewardship as a faith responsibility.
