MITCH MITCHEM
I’m preparing organizations & individuals for the permanent restructuring of work & humanity.
Monthly Advisory Partnership
Total transformation and monthly guidance
When you think about your organization in three years, fully AI-integrated and "optimized"... Does it excite you? Or does something feel hollow about it? If you're honest, you're probably feeling both. You're excited about the speed, the scale, the efficiency. But you're also wondering what gets lost. You're wondering if your team will still feel like YOUR team. You're wondering if the culture that made you successful can survive this transformation. Those doubts? They're not weakness. They're wisdom. And they're exactly why you need a guide who treats this as human transformation, not just technology implementation.
I work directly with leadership teams navigating what it means to be human while implementing AI. This isn't traditional consulting. This is me, personally, in your corner for 12 months guiding your team and you to ensure wisdom, smart approaches to AI implementation and an overall thoughtful strategy for execution is implemented so you are prepared for the rapid rate of change.

NEWEST ARTICLE: Walk Into the Ocean or Drown on the Beach
My 3.5-year-old son Luke stood at the edge of the Gulf last week, staring out at the vastness. Then he just walked straight in, fearless, curious, no hesitation. As I walked closely behind him, making sure a wave didn't take him under, I thought about a question someone asked me during my 131st keynote of the year:
"How are you planning for your youngest kid's next ten to fifteen years?"
I laughed. Not at them, at the absurdity of the question.
Planning? I can't see clearly fifteen months out, let alone fifteen years.
And neither can you.
The Uncomfortable Truth Look, I've spent three years traveling the world training over 60,000 people on how to use AI. I've delivered talks in multiple countries. I've seen the inside of boardrooms at MLB teams, NBA, Fortune 500s, Oil and Gas companies, Fire Stations, and even stood with an IndyCar team during the race. I've watched executives nod along, take notes, and then go right back to pretending the world isn't changing. They are standing on the shore hoping they won't need to go into the water, let alone learn how to swim.
I would love to give you comfort. I would love to tell you it's going to be okay, that you can plan, find the right model of AI, get settled and relax. I would love to tell you that there's a roadmap….

Watch This Before You Waste Another Dollar on AI
Stop Chasing AI Agents. Master What Actually Works
I have been traveling nonstop lately, Florida last week and Vegas this week, but I keep getting the same question from people everywhere I go:
What is the best thing I should be doing right now if I am new to AI?
Here is the truth:
AI agents are not ready. They are hyped, but they are not delivering for everyday people. They are not reliable, not user friendly, and not giving you the efficiency you actually need. But here is the good news, you do not need AI agents. You do not need six different tools or custom setups.
All you need is to master a large language model, and make it work for you.
If you focused on nothing else for the year but learning how to use one of these tools deeply in your workflow, you would:
Save countless hours
Work smarter, not harder
Learn faster and pick up new skills
Gain a massive competitive advantage
And here is the kicker. Even if AI innovation stopped today, it would take humans years to fully master what is already possible with LLMs. That is how powerful they are right now.
So do not get caught up in the hype. Do not feel behind. You are right on time.
