Better Workflows > AI for BVTM

AI for BVTM is where BVFLS professionals (like you) come to accelerate their AI learning and results. To get you started, subscribe for your free gift.


The practitioners having the most success with AI are reimagining their workflows in light of AI … and not “bolting it on” to existing (manual) workflows.

And the highest AI ROI comes from a simple workflow:

  • Identify one friction point or bottleneck in your practice.

  • Look upstream and downstream to determine its impact.

  • Decide if it’s worth fixing or if something else needs fixing first.

  • Then, fix it (or not).

Curious how to reimagine your workflows?
I’ve got 3 platforms that can help …

1/ AI for BVTM Newsletter


You want practical ways to use AI in your practice.
But figuring out how or where to start takes time you don’t have.

That’s where I come in.
Think of me as your personal AI researcher. My newsletter filters the noise and delivers the most relevant AI-for-BV developments, with practical ideas and use cases that will improve your workflows.

Why it matters: Every issue should give you at least one idea you can put to work now. And sometimes, that idea might even show up in your bank balance.


FROM READERS LIKE YOU

Written by people, read by people.

Turn the practice you have into the practice you want ... with an assist from AI.

Your newsletter just paid for itself! The step-by-step guide to creating your own ChatGPT prompts would have taken me at least an hour of research and testing. Also, the review of the different platforms available is very helpful. Reading a condensed version that is directly applicable to the BV industry is insanely helpful. Saving me a ton of time, and time is money. Well worth it!

Rod’s AI for BV subscription is affordable, and each newsletter adds more information and guidance. I haven't seen many resources like it for our field because it explores the areas specific to BV and gives example prompts that can inspire jumping off points. Prior to this, I really didn't have a way to visualize even where to begin with this sort of thing.

Your Al for BV newsletter is a good space to be hanging out in. I'd pay that subscription price all day long for it.

2/ AI Academy


AI Academy is a learning center …
Live Zoom workshops AND in-person training events designed to make you more AI “pro-like” so you can focus on being the BVFLS pro that you are.

Because the challenge isn’t AI curiosity anymore ...
It’s knowing where AI fits into your workflows without compromising professional judgment, ethical obligations, or report defensibility.

How AI Academy is different: You’ll see live demos that show you how to do something, rather than text-dense slides that tell you how to do something.

The goal: You leave thinking, “I can do this.”

Your session was AWESOME, Rod! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and expertise on Al. I'd been dabbling and found it to be so helpful.

Rod is clearly the thought leader in BV on AI. His AI Academy workshops provide real world applications and solutions to the issues we face on a regular basis.

I've seen several workshops on AI in BV. I think Rod’s are the best of the bunch since since he gives a hands-on demonstration of practical applications for several AI tools.

3/ AI Implementation


Sometimes, waiting for the right newsletter or workshop topic takes time … time you don’t want to wait for.

In that case, the AI Academy comes to you! I offer customized (not cookie-cutter) training and pricing for 1 or 20 – virtual or in-person – tailored to your firm’s specific needs, skills, and goals.

Because there’s a big difference between one employee who uses AI and a team that operates with it.

An employee uses AI occasionally — when they remember to. It helps with a task, then disappears from the workflow.

An AI-enabled team works differently.

Everyone knows where AI fits … because it’s embedded into recurring workflows. Work gets done faster, easier, and often better. And the results are measured, so you know what AI is actually worth to your firm.

Why it matters: The AI-usage gap is widening. Firms that embed AI across roles — not just with a few tech-savvy employees — are building an operating advantage that will be harder to catch and match over time.

Rod is a highly knowledgeable and effective AI trainer and coach. I opted to do Rod's one-on-one AI coaching sessions where the training was tailored to my individual learning goals. I am extremely pleased with the results and even surprised myself! I was able to apply what I learned from Rod immediately. Thank you, Rod!
