AI for Local Business Owners
The 5 boring AI automations that actually pay for themselves — in plain English, from someone who's shipped them 100+ times. No tech background needed. No pitch.
For owners who live by the phone
Contractors, HVAC and plumbing, dental and medspa, restaurants, real estate, auto — if you book jobs by call and you're tired of being sold “AI” by people who've never run a business, this hour is for you.

Watch onlineTaught by Dave Gakshteyn
Dave ran a day spa in the city for years — he knows the operator grind, the phone that won't stop, the lead that slips because nobody called back. Now he builds AI automation for Long Island businesses: 100+ implementations across 8 verticals.
No jargon, no hype — just the boring systems that book jobs and pay for themselves.
