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 screens seems to be old. When I replicate the course I do not see the same functions in Yahoo Finance, Trading view. It makes it very hard for a beginner to understand what it going on and to follow.
By Nick Callegari on 5/2/2026
I liked the mix of theory and practical examples and analysis. The conversation/dialog was easy to understand and energizing! Cheers, NickC.

So far so good! I am just at the begining but it looks super promissing. I like how we start with platforms that we are going to use, what we need to look at, etc.
By Andre Erasmus on 12/23/2025
I really enjoyed this course. The concepts of trading very well explained and I have a good understanding of trading in general now. The course is also very well presented.
By Jack Clark on 11/11/2023
Mr “B” is a great teacher, very easy to learn from! His explanations and descriptions are thoughtful and thorough yet easily understood. I’m actually looking forward to taking more of his classes in the future.
By Dan W Hartshorn on 8/12/2023
Thank you Steve for this really excellent course. I found it to be a comprehensive introduction to many aspects of stock trading. I enjoyed your style and enthusiasm and you explained things in a way I could easily understand.
By Jason M Cust on 7/27/2022
This was AMAZING! As a beginner, this helped me to understand a lot of the things that an Investor and Trader should start to be aware of when learning and looking to be an active participant in the market! I got to see examples of how some different tools in Tradingview are used, how to look at a Stock as an Investment Opportunity, and what to look for. Even though there is not a BUNCH of live examples, it's MORE than enough examples to make me feel comfortable becoming familiar with the tools on my own! If you try out everything he shows you in Tradingview, Yahoo Finance, and Investing.com, retaining the information becomes a BREEZE! Loved the course and the layout of it as well! His charting course is NEXT!
By Josefina Rivera on 6/26/2022
Loved the content. A gem for a complete newbie. The presenter is obviously very knowledgeable on the subject and has great presentation skills, highly recommend this course.
By C Jones on 4/27/2022
I really enjoyed taking this course. The instructor is very clear and engaging, providing examples of ways in which to apply the knowledge learned throughout. I now feel confident to start trading and to take further courses in this area. If you are looking for course to give you a sound grounding, especially in technical analysis (stock charts) then I whole heartedly recommend this one.
By Eyyup C. on 3/12/2022
So far, I have done 50% of the course. All I can say it is an excellent course for the beginners and for the experienced ones like myself who wants to review and update their knowledge.
