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.

This is great for me. At 56 years old, I have never gone into these type of investments before, so joined this course to get the basics going. As a complete beginner and unfamiliar with the finance terms, this course is a great way to start from scratch. So far, very impressed. Thank you.
By Michael Prather on 11/20/2024
Good overall course as your courses are very high quality. They are very easy to understand and have clear communication, which is great. My only negative is most courses now will also offer downloadable Ebooks with all of the concepts that have gone over in them or the actual slides to review later. I wish your course had that
By Rick Webster on 3/11/2023
Great explanation of the key concepts of value investing. The instructor has a very natural, conversational style with appropriate humour added in here and there, which makes it enjoyable to listen to him. Something missing for me was a downloadable handout with the various calculations as well as links to sites where one can easily find the information and avoid doing the calculations oneself. I took notes, but just would have appreciated a good summary handout. Thanks for the great course!

It is a complete and well-structured guide, suitable for beginners, but I would love to see more depth. Before signing up for this course, I watched many YouTube videos, hoping that the paid content would bring something unique and exclusive. Unfortunately, I find many things repetitive and not new to me at this point.

Steve is a humble guy and he's putting out quality content. What I appreciated about this course is not just the material on a more in-depth dive of the material, but also Steve's willingness to answer questions in detail and truly help you out. A good leader in education + caring one as well. Thanks Mr. B

I love the way you have explained many concepts and simplified it. I have taken a few of your courses, and am enjoying them. However, I would have liked to see a few more resources and articles to understand the intrinsic value better. That seems to me to be a key concept in value investing. Looking at calculator without really understanding the concept is a dangerous approach in my opinion. That fell below the standard of what you have offered in your courses, IMO.
By Thu Dang on 2/15/2021
Steve has never disappointed me! I love all his courses. And love it that he answers all your questions. I’ve learned a lot from him and looking forward to learning more. He makes it easy to understand and gives you a broad understanding of the situation. I love his case study. Glad I found him!
By Amr Elkammash on 2/4/2021
Very informative and exciting course that teached me many principles on value investment. The tutor is experienced in the field. He gives tips on how to invest your money in value companies and not just follow market bubbles. I totally recommend this course to every Udemy user interested in long-term investment. Many thanks.
By Amar on 1/14/2021
I love the content and it definitely leaves you with a feeling that you are prepared to start your value investing journey. Something which could have been better was the way quantitative vs qualitative criteria have been explained through the course. It would have been best if we could have them in 2 solid summary modules than spreading out through the course, alternating between other topics.
