Nick Glassett, founder of Louisiana event-rental company The Jump Off and The Jump Off Store, joins Alvin Danzy to recap the first Bounce Into Biz workshop. They break down how inflatable rental operators used AI to build landing pages, custom apps, personalized customer videos, and tools they could put to work immediately. They also explain agentic AI in plain English, why you do not need to be a “computer person,” and how AI can multiply the output of a small rental company without multiplying its payroll.
