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.

the course is good and informative.. however, it would more helpful to have some thing pointing to the points in the charts when they are shown for better clarity, especially when learner is new to these concepts and cannot trace the speech to the chart points ... thank you..!!
By Ryan T White on 3/30/2024
The information is being taught or spoken to fast. should have bullet points since the information is sped through. thought it would be like the first Couse that I've taken with this instructor. regular speech where is easy to understand and had bullet points.

It would have been a better course if an actual portfolio of an individual was shown with one of the Robo Advisors Otherwise its quite informative As I had a bit prior knowledge about the Items, the first third or quarter of the course was slightly irrelevant But overall a nice job Sir
By Andrew Gonzalez on 9/21/2019
As a beginner, this was good info, but I wish the instructor had made some robo advisor accounts and actually compared the services, rather than just look at their websites. For beginners wanting some basic info on robo services, this is good, but for anyone intermediate or beyond, this lacks comprehensive details.

Great information in this course. I had signed up with a Robo Advisor prior to this course and which I would have taken it before I did. It would have helped me to understand the options and vendors available in this space, but will probably take your advise and try 1 or 2 additional ones in the near future. Thanks for this!
By P Oiq on 8/3/2018
Steve is a nice, enthousiastic guy that explains Robo Advisors in depth. Almost all of the information in this course can also be found online, but Steve offers a decent overview of what Robo Advisors are and can be used for. Attending this course will most likely save you a lot of time.
By Nicholas Dickenson on 7/15/2018
This is a really good introduction to Robo-investing. The course is comprehensive and explained really well, and clearly, by the tutor. It is very evident that the tutor, Steve Ballinger, is very knowledgeable on the subject and he conveys this knowledge well. An enjoyable and informative course.
By Darin Anderson on 7/8/2018
This is something that I knew nothing about and I feel like this good be a great way to meet some of my investing goals. I think this might just change my plans to get going on my retirement goals. I am 57 and don't really have any retirement set up. Lost it all in my last 3 divorces. Anyway, I have a thriving small business and am ready to get my investments going. Thank you for doing this Steve you might have just changed my life! Darin.
By John Lobo on 6/30/2018
The instructor talked about Robo Advising that has gained popularing in the past few years. He does a good job of exploring what one should look for in a Robo Advisor and reviews several different Robo Advisors. He did a good job in explaining and providing examples.
