Steve Gunsch - AI Consulting

About Steve

A COO who uses AI to run real businesses.

Steve Gunsch is the COO of a $12M environmental consulting firm and co-owner of a 20-person ABA therapy company. He uses AI every day — not theoretically, but to run payroll, automate scheduling, process documents, and manage operations across both businesses.

After automating 30+ workflows in his own companies, he started helping other small business owners do the same.

Why Gunsch

Proof from the operator's seat.
