Instructor Details

Steve Ballinger, MBA

A VIP Udemy Instructor Partner who has helped more than 1 million learners in 220+ countries build practical skills for work. 

My focus is helping professionals use ChatGPT and AI with more confidence, clarity, and practical purpose. I’m also in the top 3% of ChatGPT users worldwide (According to OpenAI) which means I spend a lot of hands-on time testing what actually works in real use and not just chasing the latest AI hype. 

Many people know AI is important, but they feel overwhelmed by the constant updates, confusing features, and pressure to keep up. They wonder: What should I actually use AI for? Am I prompting it correctly? How do I avoid generic answers? What is safe to put into AI? How do I avoid losing my own judgment? 

That is where I can help. 

My style is friendly, practical, and engaging. I like to make complex topics feel simple, useful, and even fun. Instead of flooding you with theory or buzzwords, I focus on real workplace problems turning scattered thoughts into useful next steps. 

My courses are designed to be clear, practical, and easy to apply. Instead of overwhelming you with theory or technical jargon, I focus on examples, prompts, workflows, and step-by-step demonstrations you can actually use.

Steve Ballinger is an excellent instructor who is extremely knowledgeable on this subject of Blockchain Investing. His lessons are very interesting - nothing boring about them. I knew almost nothing about NFTs and the "Metaverse" before this course. And I learned very much on investing in Blockchain-related stocks which I never knew could be traded. I hope to take more of Steve's investing courses in the future.

Great overview of investing for those now learning about investing techninques.

By Jerry Scheidt on 2/13/2021

The course was very informative. I liked the examples and how Steve went through the fundamental process of evaluating stocks and explained what to look for in financials. I wish we actually did more of that - providing examples of good and bad companies and how to assess them. Anyways, course was valuable, even though a few years old. It is a great place to start for someone starting to research for blockchain stocks and ETF's. Jerry Scheidt

Good introduction into Blockchain Investing. Section 3 had valuable information. However I do not feel the course material went deep enough to allow me to "Master Investing In Stocks Using Blockchain". That was quite obviously marketing hyperbole in hindsight. Over all this course was good.

By Deleted User on 12/11/2018

Overall I enjoyed this course. It taught me a lot about investing and also this emerging market. It really got into its potential to spread across every industry. This ratios are very simplistic and also he gives direct steps for evaluating ETFs and mutual funds. It is my second course with Mr. Ballinger and I am proud to call him a trusted mentor(instructor).

By Andrew Baisden on 7/26/2018

Steve Ballinger, is by far the best teacher for this subject. I have been speed learning through all of his courses. My knowledge has gone from basic to more experienced on these subjects. All of this knowledge is knowledge that everyone should consider learning.

By Dan Valdes on 6/2/2018

A great overview of blockchain technology - + some fundamental lessons in stock evaluation along with overviews of actual blockchain ETFs and MFs - all make for a great course and worthwhile investment of your time -

By Luis Moreno on 4/18/2018

it's amazing how the technology is opening new frontiers and opportunities for investing at the early stages and Steve pulls it all together very clearly and concisely. Thanks Steve

By Brad Volz on 4/18/2018

It was way too general for me. I wish it had made clear it was a very general and beginner course. And too much general investing info.
