Naomi Shiels
Naomi didn't come to AI through technology — she came through necessity. Running a publishing operation solo, she needed to find a way to do the work of a team without a team budget.
What she discovered is that AI, used well, is the best assistant you've never had: available at 3am, infinitely patient, never sighs, and costs about the same as a Netflix subscription.
C4TO teaches what actually worked — not the hype, not the panic, not the "ten ways AI will change everything." Just practical skills for real people.
