Produktbeschreibung

Praise for YOUR AI ROADMAP "Joan's message is visionary and practical, and everyone is invited." -Rebecca Evanhoe, Visiting Assistant Professor, Pratt Institute "Dr. Bajorek is one of the most driven and high-achieving AI leaders I know. She's got a knack for closing 6- to 8-figure deals, building community, and empowering others to reach their goals." -Marion Desmazières, Portfolio Development, M12 Microsoft's Venture Fund "As a Person of Color, I deeply resonate with the idea that crucial information is often hidden for marginalized communities. It's a must-read for anyone wanting to enhance their financial literacy and knowledge in the age of AI." -Miguel Angel Velasco, Social Worker "This book is another tool in your arsenal to quiet the trolls in your mind who tell you you're not good enough." -Stacey Gordon, Executive Advisor, Rework Work "I wish I could have referenced it during those pivotal moments in my career journey." -Meera Patel, Industrial Engineering Student, University of Washington "Joan's voice is extremely clear, hopeful, and inclusive-a rare find! I enjoyed the personal finance stories, jokes, and down to earth grounded advice. Her advice is on-point and I would happily recommend it to friends and clients alike as a starting point." -Jenni Monahan, Vice President, Private Wealth Management, Bernstein
