Hi, my name is Brett Schklar (rhymes with scar). I own and operate several professional services ventures: *GROW Powered - Elite AI-first Fractional and Interim CMOs. growpowered.com *AI-First Leadership - Practical AI adoption coaching for CEOs, business owners & business leaders from a CEO (me!). aifirstleadership.com *AI Without the BS - Keynote speaker and bestselling author - “AI Without the BS: The CEO’s Playbook for ACTUALLY Getting AI Right”. Buy the book: https://bit.ly/AIWithoutBS or visit: brettschklar.com With nearly 30 years in entrepreneurship and B2B marketing, including a successful exit of Market Creation Group, I’ve seen every marketing gimmick there is. That’s why my approach now is simple: No fluff. Just transformation. Through my AI-First Leadership framework (built on 1,000+ hours of hands-on AI experimentation), I help leaders make sense of the tech, uncover the “cheat codes” of growth, and lead their teams into the AI-powered future with confidence. I also lead Grow Powered, a collective of elite fractional CMOs helping SaaS and innovation companies scale with the perfect mix of strategy, execution, and AI-fueled magic. My Marketing Attack Plan combines tactical precision with visionary strategy (and a few AI tools that’ll make your head spin — in a good way). Whether I’m delivering a keynote, hosting The GROW Method podcast, or leading a workshop, I break down complex concepts into fun, practical strategies leaders can use immediately. I believe learning about AI should feel more like a conversation over coffee (or a beer) than a lecture from a robot. When I’m not decoding the future of work, I’m usually: •Cycling up Colorado hills like they owe me money, •Crashing remote control airplanes in the name of “science,” •Hanging with my amazing wife and son, •Being bossed around by my dog, •Or reminiscing about my glory days as a high school trumpet player (I’ve recovered... mostly). Let’s connect and learn!
