About Harrison

Nearly 20 years
building things
that work.

I help executives grow revenue, strengthen teams, and compete in fast-changing markets with practical, results-driven AI strategies.

With nearly 20 years of marketing experience, I've helped organizations build brands, drive revenue, and scale with confidence. Earlier in my career, I founded a company that was acquired by a public company and worked in Hollywood with leaders in sports and entertainment. Those experiences sharpened my ability to deliver results that matter to both organizations and communities.

As a pioneer in AI education, I facilitate Ivy Tech Community College's AI Certification Course, built the first AI studio for a major Indiana university's master degree program, and led the state's first AI workshops for business leaders. My approach connects artificial intelligence with emotional intelligence to build trust, collaboration, and sharper decision-making.

Today I run LaunchReady.ai, where LaunchReady Teams delivers structured AI training to mid-market companies using the 7 Levels framework. I built AI Law Tracker to help Indiana businesses navigate AI legislation, co-founded AI Crew Call with industry partners bringing vertical-specific AI training to van line agencies, and co-founded AI Launchpad, a free community helping professionals, educators, and small business owners put AI to work in the real world.

AI Literacy Workshop
