What Is AI Actually Good For? A Plain-English Breakdown [6/27/2026] (Recording)

Everyone's talking about AI. But most business owners still don't know what it actually does — or why it matters for them right now. This free 45-minute session cuts through the noise and gives you a clear, honest, jargon-free breakdown of what AI can and cannot do for your business in 2026. We'll cover: • The real difference between AI hype and what's actually useful today • The 4 categories of tasks where AI delivers the fastest ROI for small businesses • Common mistakes business owners make when evaluating AI tools • A side-by-side comparison: what it costs to hire vs. what it costs to automate • How Plinko Solutions implements AI systems for businesses in as little as 3 weeks This is not a pitch. It's an education session designed to help you make a smart, informed decision about whether — and how — AI fits into your business. Perfect for: → Business owners who keep hearing about AI but don't know where to start → Managers tired of guessing which tools are worth the investment → Entrepreneurs who want a competitive edge without a massive tech budget Free. No catch. Just clarity.

Self-Host n8n for Free: Run Powerful Automations Without a Monthly Bill

​SESSION GUIDE: https://www.lelandcourses.com/ai-builder/n8n-build-workshop/ Every automation you build in Zapier, Make or n8n becomes a monthly subscription. The more you automate, the more you pay, and the bill keeps coming whether you used the tool that month or not. ​In this exclusive AI Builder session, Jonathan McLemore will walk you step by step through setting up your own self-hosted instance of n8n: the open-source automation platform that runs the same kinds of workflows you'd build in Zapier, without the per-task fees. You'll leave with a working n8n environment running on your own infrastructure, ready to run as many automations as you want. ​The real takeaway is the skill underneath: how to get yourself off the SaaS treadmill for tools you can host yourself, and what it actually takes to own the thing instead of renting it. Once you've done it once, you can do it for almost any open-source tool worth running. AI agents. Vector databases. Internal dashboards. Knowledge bases. The setup pattern is the same. ​Jonathan is the founding solutions engineer at Plinko Solutions, where he builds these kinds of systems for clients every day. Now he's showing you how to run yours.

Build a Cold Outbound Email Agent

SESSION GUIDE: https://www.lelandcourses.com/ai-builder/cold-outbound-email-agent/ The math of cold outbound never quite works. A genuinely personalized email takes twenty minutes. A templated one gets a one percent reply rate. Either way, you're losing time. ​In this exclusive AI Builder session, Jonathan McLemore will walk you step by step through building a cold outbound email agent powered by Claude, one that researches every prospect on your lead list, writes a personalized first-touch email for each, and queues them up for you to review before sending. By the end of the hour you'll have a working agent ready to put to work the next morning. ​But the email agent is just the on-ramp. The real takeaway is the playbook: how to turn a one-off chat with AI into a repeatable system that processes an entire list the same way, every time. First outbound. Next a lead qualification agent, a customer research bot, a weekly report that writes itself. Same skill, different shape. ​Jonathan builds AI automations for sales teams as the founding solutions engineer at Plinko Solutions. He's done this for a living. Now he'll do it with you. ​Open exclusively to AI Builder Program members.
