About Harrison

Nearly 20 years
building things
that work.

I help executives grow revenue, strengthen teams, and compete in fast-changing markets with practical, results-driven AI strategies.

With nearly 20 years of marketing experience, I've helped organizations build brands, drive revenue, and scale with confidence. Earlier in my career, I founded a company that was acquired by a public company and worked in Hollywood with leaders in sports and entertainment. Those experiences sharpened my ability to deliver results that matter to both organizations and communities.

As a pioneer in AI education, I facilitate Ivy Tech Community College's AI Certification Course, built the first AI studio for a major Indiana university's master degree program, and led the state's first AI workshops for business leaders. My approach connects artificial intelligence with emotional intelligence to build trust, collaboration, and sharper decision-making.

Today I run LaunchReady.ai, co-founded AI Crew Call with industry partners bringing vertical-specific AI training to van line agencies, and co-founded AI Launchpad, a free community helping professionals, educators, and small business owners put AI to work in the real world.

Keynotes · Workshops · Bootcamps

Bring AI into
your room.
Your audience.

Every engagement is built around your audience, your industry, and the one or two things you actually want people to walk out knowing how to do. No generic decks. No recycled content.

Keynote
Starting at $3,500
45 to 90 minutes
Built for conferences, annual meetings, and leadership events. Harrison speaks the language of your industry and leaves your audience with something they can act on the next day.
AI Literacy Workshop
Starting at $2,500
2 hours
Your team understands AI and knows exactly where it fits in their work. Not a lecture. A working session that ends with clarity on what to do next.
AI Bootcamp
Starting at $5,000
6 hours
Your team works through one or two real business problems with AI. Not awareness. Not slides. By the end of the day you have something installed and a clear path to what comes next.
