Before working with Steve Ferman, I was stuck in the day-to-day grind—spending more time reacting to problems than proactively scaling my business. And quite frankly, I was a bit overwhelmed. I had heard about AI but was fully sure about what it was and had a lot of hesitations. That changed quickly once I started working with Steve.

As a Scaling Up certified coach and a Chief AI Officer, Steve brought a unique and powerful combination of business strategy and forward-thinking technology leadership. Through his coaching and guidance, he helped me clarify my vision, align my team, and build a growth plan grounded in data and execution.

One of the things that really set Steve apart was his ability to integrate AI in practical, results-driven ways.  We went from drowning in inefficiencies to operating with clarity and momentum. The results speak for themselves: we’ve seen measurable growth in both revenue and productivity, and we’re now scaling with confidence.

And while results are important, they aren’t everything. Process is important as well. I have truly enjoyed working with the Steve. He has a way of being firm and holding me accountable, while simultaneously encouraging me and pointing out things I have done well.

More than just a coach, Steve has been a thought partner, a strategist, and a catalyst for transformation. If you’re serious about growth and want to harness AI to do it smarter—not harder—there’s no one better than Steve Ferman.

He didn’t just transform my business. He transformed my way of thinking and approaching things both in and outside of my business. – Erika Jungblut
