I was struggling with a few things

I was struggling with a few things, something that wasn’t even included in the class, which was my Osmo pocket three. John walked me through step-by-step in which now I’m very familiar with and I can utilize it. I’ve had this device for four months and did nothing with it.

Also, I appreciate John’s patience with walking me through YouTube the importance of the channel what should be enabled, explaining Riverside much better for making videos and actually editing videos as well as the scheduler it just puts all systems in place and more understandable to me. I’d highly recommend taking this class because John will walk you through answer all your questions before he moves on and that’s something I need. Thank you so much.

Working with John Mendez has been such a valuable experience. He has a rare ability to explain AI concepts in a way that feels approachable and exciting, no matter your starting point. John does not just teach theory. He gives clear, practical tools you can apply right away to improve your business and workflow.

What stands out most is how genuinely invested he is in his students’ success. He takes time to answer questions, offers examples tailored to your goals, and makes sure you leave each session feeling confident about using AI effectively. If you are looking for someone who can help you understand and leverage AI to grow, John is an excellent coach.

I had such a great time working with you Soniya. Thank you so much for this review. I'm glad you found it approachable, a lot of people struggle with overwhelm when it comes to AI. There's so many different tools to choose from and it can be hard to navigate.

John is the AI coach I didn’t know I…

John is the AI coach I didn’t know I needed. We were truly meant to cross paths over two years ago, and since working with him I can honestly say it’s been one of the best investments I’ve made—personally and for my business. Before John, AI felt intimidating and “nice to have.” With John, it became a trusted partner in my day-to-day. He didn’t just teach me tools; he taught me how to think, build, and enjoy AI.

What makes John different is his blend of strategy, coaching, and hands-on implementation. He met me where I was, listened to my goals, and then rolled up his sleeves to help me turn ideas into systems—everything from client education flows and follow-up automations to content prompts I actually use. He gave me frameworks, not fads. He challenged my comfort zone while keeping me focused on what matters: better client experiences, smarter operations, and steady growth.

Because of John, I now see possibilities everywhere: new ways to serve clients, streamline processes, and tell my brand story with clarity and confidence. My team is more efficient, my marketing is more consistent, and I have time back to focus on what only I can do. If you want an AI coach who is patient, practical, and relentlessly committed to your results, John is the one. I recommend him without hesitation.

Tanisha, thank you so much for this review. It's crazy to think we randomly met at a conference in Florida almost 4 years ago, lost touch, then randomly cross paths at a networking event in Jersey 2.5 years later. It was such a pleasure working with you. You're the best!

John’s AI workshop is spot on!

John’s AI workshop helped me to overcome being intimidated about learning AI. During his workshop, I eased up and felt comfortable with learning and asking questions. John was attentive and provided tailored instructions to my needs. That meant a lot to me. I then understood how to use prompts to get my tasks done. I’m planning on having him coach me further, because his knowledge and teaching style made me comfortable with moving on further with AI.

Hands down the best!

John really put me on to the Chat GPT game! I had never heard of it before he introduced the subject to our morning Power Hour. His delivery method when teaching is always smooth, making the subject matter easy to follow. You don't have to be tech savvy (thank God). John provides examples and various tools designed to enhance one's individual creativity, and he's always willing to go back over the material. He even follows up via email...this I absolutely admire! Oh, and one-on-ones are also offered for those needing extra TLC. In a world of GPTeachers, John is hands down the best (and also easy on the eyes ; ) )

I received several emails about John's classes but did not have an opportunity to take one until recently. John's class covered so many things I was struggling with regarding social media. I learned more about AI and what it could do for me the first lesson. Now I can use it to create a marking calendar for months in advance, provide ideas on how to promote events, identify who is the best group to market to, and so much more!

My AI Coach

I can only say great things about John Mendez. He truly knows what he’s talking about and has been a tremendous help in my real estate career. As he always reminds us: “It’s not AI that will replace you, it’s people who know how to use AI that will.” Thank you, John!
