What I Do
Speaking & Training
I deliver keynotes and interactive workshops that change how your team thinks about AI — and more importantly, how they use it. From first-time users to power users, I meet people where they are and get them building with AI before they leave the room. Audiences include Vistage CEO groups, leadership retreats, corporate teams, and industry conferences.

Not sure where AI fits in your business? I help you figure that out — then I help you build it. From privacy-first strategies to custom GPT workflows and automation, I bridge the gap between "we should use AI" and "here's how it's making us money."

The SaaSpocalypse: When AI Labs Eat Their Own Customers
Anthropic shipped Claude Design against its own design partner Figma, then shipped Claude Code against Cursor. The SaaSpocalypse is what happens when your AI vendor becomes your competitor while your data sits on their servers.
About Me
I'm Tony Self. I've spent 30 years running a real estate brokerage in the South Bay of Los Angeles, and for the last several years, I've been obsessively building AI into every corner of my business — automating workflows, deploying custom GPTs, training my team, and finding ways to do more with less.
That hands-on experience is what sets me apart from consultants who've only read about AI. I use these tools every day in a real business with real clients, real deadlines, and real money on the line. Whether it's a keynote that gets your team excited, a workshop that gets them skilled, or a consulting engagement that gets AI embedded in your operations — I bring the practical playbook, not the theoretical pitch.
