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 small business owners
Learn AI and stay ahead of the competition.
AI is changing every industry. AI Survival School teaches small business owners, operators, and tradespeople how to use it — and keeps them ahead. Come for the skills, stay for the community.
I taught myself AI over thousands of hours. Now I share it with you.
Field report One operator
A towing business with 16 trucks and $2,500 a month in software rental.
I’m Chris. I run towing companies in Columbus, Ohio — 16 trucks strong. I got tired of paying $2,500 a month for software that couldn’t keep up, so I taught myself AI and built my own. Thousands of hours later, I help other small business owners do the same, in a community built on learning together.

Who’s teaching
I’m not a professor. I’m a small business owner finding the next leverage point to compete and win.
I own and run a 16-truck towing company in Columbus, OH. I was renting software for thousands a month, so I learned AI and built my own — software to run my business, and others as well.
With over 20 SaaS systems built to date, I’ve mastered using AI to power my business. Now I want to use that knowledge to power yours too.

What operators say after the work.
I started using AI in my law firm, and spending time with Chris has really advanced how I see it helping my business. He's grown my knowledge 10x faster than I ever could on my own.
The SaaS solutions Chris builds through Blue Collar AI are amazing — forward-thinking and creative. AI-powered SaaS really gives a company a leading edge in the market.
Blue Collar AI built a one-of-a-kind outbound sales logic system that really impresses me. Using it to manage my everyday sales outreach has had a real, positive impact on my CRM.
