Monday MBAs

Most companies don't have an AI problem.

​They have an AI ROI problem.

​Too many teams are experimenting with AI without knowing which projects deserve funding, how to get executive buy-in, or how to turn promising ideas into million-dollar business outcomes.
​Join Art Robbins for a practical session on how leading organizations identify high-value AI opportunities, build compelling business cases, and secure the budget needed to move AI initiatives from pilot to production.
​Whether you're in innovation, IT, product, operations, healthcare, finance, or the public sector, you'll leave with a framework you can immediately apply to your own organization.

​You'll learn:

​• How to identify AI projects executives actually want to fund
• The hidden gaps where AI can create measurable business value
• How to quantify ROI before your project begins
• Common reasons AI initiatives fail—and how to avoid them
• Strategies for securing executive sponsorship and larger budgets
• Real-world examples of organizations creating significant value with AI
​If you're responsible for digital transformation, AI strategy, innovation, or technology leadership, this session is designed for you.

​Come with an AI idea. Leave with a roadmap for turning it into a project worth funding.

Stress can be dissolved, and mental noise can be quieted, if you have the right tools. Most conventional wisdom around stress works at too high a level — but when you get down to first principles, magic can happen.
​Attendees will learn about the lower-level stress we carry, which could be labeled survival stress or energetic stress. Most conventional stress and wellness tools today fall into one of the higher-level categories, which are not as effective: physical stress, mental stress, emotional stress, spiritual stress.
​The goal is not only to educate you on the patterns and dangers of this lower-level stress, but to show that it's possible to work on it in simple ways once you learn how — and what can change when you do.

You’ve heard about Flint, Michigan.

But here’s the uncomfortable question:

Have you ever actually thought about the water coming out of YOUR faucet?

Most of us spend more time researching a restaurant before dinner than researching something our families drink every single day.

☕ Coffee? Researched.
📱 New phone? Watched 17 reviews.
🏨 Weekend hotel? Read every complaint since 2019.
💧 The water your kids drink every day? “Eh…it looks clear.”

Maybe we should talk about that. 😂

Join Hydrology University for a fascinating, practical and surprisingly entertaining Saturday morning exploring what can be found in drinking water—and what families can actually do about it.

We’ll dig into:

🦠 What could be hiding in your water
From contaminants and aging infrastructure to substances you can’t see, smell or taste.

🧴 The microplastics problem
Microplastics have been detected throughout the human body. Emerging research has associated micro- and nanoplastics with cardiovascular risks, and scientists are actively investigating possible connections with cancers, including prostate cancer. Association does not automatically mean causation—but the findings are important enough to pay attention to.

🚰 Why “it looks clean” doesn’t tell you much
Clear water and clean water aren’t necessarily the same thing.

🏠 Your house matters
Water quality isn’t only about spectacular national headlines like Flint. Plumbing, pipes, local water sources and treatment can all affect what ultimately reaches your glass.

🔬 What you can actually do
Learn about testing, filtration, water quality and how to make better-informed decisions for your household—without turning into the person who brings a microscope to brunch.

And yes, we know:

It’s Saturday morning.

You could sleep another two hours.

You could scroll Instagram.

You could reorganize the garage for the 14th time.

Or you could spend a morning learning about something your family puts into their bodies every single day.

What’s more important than your family’s health?

Probably not whatever you were going to do Saturday morning. 😉

Bring your curiosity. Bring your questions. Bring the person in your family who insists, “Our water is fine.”
