What AI Actually Is
LLMs explained without the jargon. The honest version. What it can do, what it can't, and how to think about it as a tool.

AI training for real businesses
Learn AI before AI replaces you.
AI Survival School teaches the operators, owners, and tradespeople running real businesses how to use AI to save time, save money, and stay in business.
From the operator who learned to survive —
and now teaches you how.
Field Report One operator
16 trucks. $650/mo cancelled. One platform built alongside Claude.
I’m Chris. I run Roadside Towing & Recovery in Columbus, Ohio. I was paying $650 a month for software that hadn’t shipped a real new feature in years. So I learned AI, built TowCommand Pro, and cancelled the bill.

See the course →Who’s teaching
I’m not a professor. I’m an operator.
I run a 16-truck towing company in Columbus, Ohio. I was paying $650 a month for software that hadn’t shipped a real new feature in years. So I learned AI, built my own platform, and cancelled the bill.
If a tow company owner can do this, every small business owner can. You just need a teacher who speaks your language.
