A hands-on, in-person AI workshop for small business owners · Saline, MI · Aug 27–28
Stop reading about AI. Spend two days handing it your actual busywork — and watch it come back done.
You already know AI can help your business. What you don’t have is two days, a real expert next to you, and your own files open on the screen. That’s exactly what this is. Bring the tasks eating your week. Walk out with at least one of them already off your plate — and the skill to do it again on Monday.
50 seats · lunch & drinks included · from $250

You’ve “tried AI.”
So why are you still doing the busywork yourself?
You opened ChatGPT. Maybe you pay for it. You’ve watched the videos, saved the threads, meant to “really dig in this weekend.” And yet the invoicing, the follow-up emails, the social posts, the quotes, the spreadsheet nobody wants to touch — they’re all still yours.
Here’s the uncomfortable truth: most business owners are dabbling with AI. Very few are delegating to it.
The gap between those two isn’t smarter prompts or a better tool. It’s the thing nobody sells you — someone sitting next to you, with your real work, until the first task actually leaves your hands.
Until that happens, you’re the bottleneck. Every AI decision, every “should we use this?”, every workaround runs through you — the busiest, most expensive person in the building.
What changes when one task
actually leaves your plate
Reclaiming even a handful of hours a week isn’t a productivity hack — it’s a different job. It’s leaving at a normal hour. It’s the quote going out same-day instead of “by end of week.” It’s not being the person every AI question waits on.
The owners who get there didn’t learn more about AI. They picked one repetitive job, handed it off correctly one time with real files, and saw it come back finished. After that, it’s not theoretical anymore. It’s a habit — and habits scale across a business the way a webinar never will.
That’s the entire design of these two days. Not ten tools you’ll never open. One real handoff you’ll repeat for years.
This is not a webinar. It’s a working session with your business on the table.
Most “AI training” leaves you with notes and no results. You go home inspired, life gets loud, and nothing changes. We built the opposite.
Bring your own real files and tasks
Invoices, emails, spreadsheets, quotes, the recurring job you dread. Not hypotheticals. Your business.
Set up your AI the right way, in the room
One step at a time, together — so nobody leaves stuck at "I couldn't get it working."
Hand off a real task and watch it come back done
With Alex beside you when it matters, working on your actual files, not a demo dataset.
Leave with a repeatable playbook
So Monday morning you do it again — without us. The skill stays. The hours come back.
You are not buying information. Information is free and you already have too much of it. You’re buying the two days where it finally gets done.

Two focused sessions. One complete transformation.
Day One
Informational Session
Thursday, August 27
$250
Come skeptical, leave clear. Day One is where you see exactly what AI can and can’t do for your kind of business — no hype, no jargon, no “you should really learn to code.”
- ✓Where AI actually saves small businesses time and money (and where it wastes both)
- ✓The handful of jobs in your business worth handing off first — and how to spot them
- ✓A live look at real tasks getting done: emails, content, quotes, admin, research
- ✓Straight answers on cost, privacy, and what it takes to keep it running
- ✓A clear picture of the exact tasks you'll hand off on Day Two
Best for: owners who want to see it work before they commit to building it. Many attendees decide by lunch that they want Day Two.

What business owners say after the room
Real results. Real names. Real businesses.
Lisa Woodruff
Small Business Owner
“As a small business owner, I know I need to use AI, but I have no idea where to begin or how to lead my team… Shiver's in-person AI workshop helped my team and me get started using Claude to solve our most pressing AI problems in real time… If you are wondering how to get started or want a real class to learn alongside your team members, I highly recommend joining the next class!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Mark Blair
Army Veteran & Small Business Owner
“Alex's AI class was the first time in years that I actually felt like I got more than I paid for. Money well spent.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Ryan Tishy
CFP & Local Business Owner
“Being a newer small business owner, I came into this seminar with little to no knowledge of how artificial intelligence could improve my firm… I 100% will not only continue to attend future seminars that Alex holds, but utilize their services to implement these tools in my business!”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Melissa Weigand
Specialty Construction Business Owner

He’s the author of The Unconscious Buying Formula, a neuromarketing book used by businesses across the country. Shiver Agents manages AI-powered business efficiency systems for 80+ industries, and their team built a proprietary AI agent platform from scratch.

The “we’ll pay you to show up” guarantee
Come to the workshop, do the work, and if you don’t feel you got your money’s worth, tell us and we’ll refund 110% of your ticket. Not your money back — more than your money back.You’d walk out having learned to put AI to work in your business and gotten paid for your time doing it.
We can put that in writing because we’ve watched owner after owner leave with a real task already off their plate. The only way you lose is by not showing up.
Yeah, but…
"I'm not a tech person."
Neither are most people in the room. That's the entire point of doing setup together, one step at a time, in person. A self-described "computer geek" and someone who came in knowing nothing about AI have both walked out of this class glad they came.
"I don't have time for two days."
You don't have time not to. You're already spending those hours every week on the busywork this removes — you just spend them one at a time so you never notice the total.
"Can't I just watch a YouTube video?"
You can, and you have, and here you are. The difference isn't the information. It's having your real files open and someone next to you until it actually works.
"Is my business data safe?"
Good question — and we answer it plainly on Day One, including exactly what to turn on and off and what never gets used to train the AI. You'll leave knowing, not guessing.
"What if I fall behind during the hands-on part?"
You won't get left behind. It's a small room, capped at 50, and the whole design is nobody-stuck-at-step-one.

Two days. Your real work. One task already off your plate before you leave.
Six months from now you’ll either still be meaning to “figure out AI this weekend” — or you’ll be the owner who handed off the busywork and got their week back.
The difference is two days in Saline, and 50 seats decide how many people get to make that call.

Common Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
None. We start from zero and go at the room's pace.
We focus on getting real results with the leading assistant tools (including Claude) rather than drowning you in ten apps you'll never open.
Yes — owners who learn alongside a team member implement faster. Ask about group seating when you book.
A laptop and real work from your business — the tasks and files you'd love to stop doing yourself.
Day One stands alone as a clear, no-hype look at what's possible. Day Two is where it gets built. Most people do both — and save $71 doing it.
It is — both days, along with drinks. Come hungry to learn, we'll handle the rest.
Better than a refund. If you don't feel you got your money's worth, we refund 110% of your ticket — so you're paid for your time. If you can't make it, your payment isn't lost — it rolls over as credit toward the next workshop, and you can redeem it for up to 30 days past the event date. We can't guarantee the next session will be in person.
