We are just days away from the inaugural Hooked on Fresh Fishing Tournament, and we want to give a big thank you to our generous sponsors!

The TIPA AI workshop is a day of building. Four things every participant walks out with:
A working AI environment on their own laptop, configured for their business. A "project brain" loaded with their business context, brand voice, and operational data. A sales pricing automation pulling daily USDA terminal market data for their specific commodities. A workshop runbook documenting the build and how to extend it.

The "wear three hats" structure — operating as Sales, Marketing, and Accounting in turn — is what makes this different from generic AI training. You leave having built tools that address three different kinds of operator pain.
