I wasn't sure if the AI Mini Bootcamp was the right fit for me—I had a basic understanding of AI and how to use ChatGPT. But Dawn and the AI Bootcamp were awesome… In fact, I started a pricing project during the class that would have taken me a week to finish, but instead I did it in an afternoon thanks to Dawn and Claude.ai.

NKU's Biz Access Hub started with a grassroots approach looking holistically at family, company, company relationships. They considered everything and helped me compartmentalize all of my to-do's so I could get unstuck and move forward. They made resources available and connections possible that I needed.
