I'm Harrison Painter, an AI educator, speaker, and marketing strategist with 20+ years of experience helping businesses embrace innovation. I led a startup through acquisition, blending strategic insight with hands-on expertise.

Through Blaizing Academy, I’ve developed AI courses under the IWU Accelerator and helped launch the AI Protégé Program, mentoring the next generation of AI leaders. I co-founded Indiana’s AI Fusion Conference, a high-energy event that blends AI education with interactive Prompt-a-thons. We have also just launched the Hoosier 1,000 program, training 1,000 Hoosier entrepreneurs in AI technology to empower them to thrive in an AI-driven economy. The first of it's kind program in the U.S.

As the founder of PromptIQ Studio and creator of the PromptIQ Framework, I show businesses how to get better results from AI. I’m leading AI Forward Indiana, an initiative focused on positioning the state as a leader in AI-driven workforce development and economic growth.

I authored "AI: Your Roadmap to Fuel Innovation and Amplify Profits", Indiana’s first AI best-seller, and I’m currently writing "PromptIQ: A Human-Centered Approach to AI Success." As host of the AI for Everyone podcast, I focus on making AI practical for business growth.

My mission is simple: AI should empower people, not replace them.
