When NexusBlue’s Maria Babilon invited me to SCORE Dayton’s hands-on AI workshop for small business owners and nonprofit leaders, I knew I had to say yes—and I’m so glad I did.
This event wasn’t just another tech talk. It was a dynamic, practical, and inspiring deep-dive into the real-world applications of artificial intelligence for today’s business leaders. From connecting with dedicated SCORE mentors like Bruce Stapleton to hearing NexusBlue President Bill Magnuson’s presentation on Unlocking the Power of AI, the workshop delivered exactly what our community needs: real tools, honest insights, and powerful conversations.
I attended on behalf of Tipton Studio, where our mission is to help founders embrace technology, build visibility, and grow with purpose. Events like this reinforce what we already believe—AI isn’t just the future; it’s the now. And it’s essential that small business owners, nonprofit leaders, and entrepreneurs of all kinds feel empowered to explore and use these tools.
Thank you to SCORE Dayton, NexusBlue, and all the leaders who made this session possible. It’s clear that when innovation meets community, growth becomes more than a goal—it becomes a shared mission.
Let’s keep learning, leading, and leveraging technology with purpose.
