Ask Me Anything with John Arms and Brett Trainor
Wednesday, Jan 28, 2:00-3:00pm CST
Join us for a candid, high-energy Ask Me Anything session as John Arms sits down with Brett Trainor for a no-filter conversation about work, control, and what really happens when the corporate path disappears. After spending 25+ years chasing promotions and loyalty, Brett experienced what millions have felt firsthand… corporate quit on him. Instead of seeing it as an ending, he turned it into a wake-up call and a new way forward.
Together, John and Brett will unpack why traditional employment leaves so many people powerless, what’s broken in today’s job market, and how flipping the script can put control back where it belongs… with the individual. Expect bold truths, practical insight, and an open conversation driven by your questions.:00

Why smart leaders keep getting AI wrong, and how to course-correct before it costs you
Hosted by: John Arms and Keith Lauver
February 3, 2026 | 2:00–3:00PM CT
AI is moving fast, but many organizations are moving fast in the wrong direction. From rushed implementations to misunderstood capabilities, even well-intentioned AI initiatives are failing in predictable (and costly) ways.
In this candid and practical conversation, John Arms and Keith Lauver unpack the Top 10 Fails in AI they see most often across organizations today. Drawing from real-world experience, they’ll explore where leaders go wrong, why these mistakes keep repeating, and how to course-correct before AI becomes a liability instead of a competitive advantage.
This session is not about hype, tools, or technical deep dives. It’s about judgment, strategy, and human-centered decision-making in an AI-powered world.
What You’ll Learn
Participants will gain insight into:
Why This Conversation Matters
AI failure rarely comes from bad technology, it comes from misaligned expectations, poor decision-making, and ignoring the human system around the tech. This discussion offers a rare, honest look at those failures so organizations can avoid them and build smarter paths forward.

There’s one question I hear more than any other:
“How do I actually get clients in fractional?”
It’s the thing sitting at the top of everyone’s mind.
So we took Class 5 from our Fractional Masters program (the class on attracting your first, second, and third clients) and turned it into a standalone micro-learning you can take on its own.
It’s practical. It’s real-world. It’s based on what actually works — not internet theory.
You’ll learn:
• How people really find their first fractional clients
• What to say (and not say) when you tell people what you do
• Where early opportunities actually come from
• How momentum builds from client #1 to #3
If you’re serious about building a fractional business, this is the most important class you can take first.
