What the Present Future Brings

AI can help during an emergency at home or in the field

I’d like to ask you a couple of what-ifs with your permission.

What if you could ask any question and get a correct answer—within seconds—any time of day or night?

What if you worked in a technical field, where getting the correct information immediately could impact what you’re building, fixing, or designing… and that answer came in two or three seconds?

What would that mean for your work, your confidence, your life?


When you partner with an AI, you gain access to more knowledge than you could ever carry on your own. Anything you need—or simply want—to know through your phone, tablet, or computer is suddenly at your fingertips.

Instead of flipping through a manual to figure out how to install a breaker box, the steps can be laid out in seconds.

If someone on your crew gets bitten by a snake? Your AI can walk you through what to do right now.

If your boss asks you a tricky question at the worst possible time, you can calmly reply, “Just a second, boss… let me check.”


These scenarios aren’t part of a far-off science fiction future. They’re happening today.

The best—and really, the only—way to learn AI is to start using it. You’ll find it intuitive and responsive. And the more you use it, the better it gets at understanding you, your needs, preferences, and pace.

AI is only going to get better. So why wait? The tools of the future are ready right now.

Rather than panic and hysteria (OK, maybe a little) Mike found himself carried away on the adventure of his life. Mike started with the best job he ever had working at Home Depot. He spent 8 years working with job seekers at a local workforce center, helping them to find employment. He then started his own company developing courses, writing books and urging others to follow their own paths into the future.
