Allow us to introduce the memebers of Cohort Two.
Starting with B. Lerae Funderburg, Esq.
When we asked her why she made the decision to become AI ROI Certified, she said this:
"I joined the Certified AI ROI Consultant cohort because I recognize that AI is fundamentally changing the way we live and do business. And it isn't going anywhere. Rather than risk being left behind, I made the decision to become fluent in AI and learn how to implement it strategically, ethically, and effectively."
Lerae built a business that helps entrepreneurs create, protect, and preserve the businesses and legacies they are building, through strategic legal counsel, business formation, contracts, trademarks and other brand protection strategies, copyrights, and estate planning.
Her work is grounded in the belief that sustainable businesses are built through intentional stewardship of everything that gives a business value: its people, relationships, assets, brand, and legacy. By integrating legal strategy, technology, and a whole-picture approach to entrepreneurship, Lerae is committed to helping founders build businesses that create lasting impact for generations.
She believes, and we quote, "Success should be sustainable, not fueled by burnout, and I see AI as a powerful tool to help me increase my impact while creating healthier, more efficient ways to work."
She is on the road to becoming a trusted advisor who helps law firm owners understand not just how to use AI, but how to implement it ethically, responsibly, profitably, and strategically to create measurable return on investment.
So we'll ask you what the following questions.
What would becoming an AI ROI Consultant do for you and your business?
