The seeds for the Kansas City AI Club were planted back in the early days of the Social Media Club KC. In the late 2000s, I was lucky to be part of SMCKC when it was just 2-3 tables at breakfast, and fortunate to watch SMCKC grow into a powerhouse with thousands of members and supporters. It was a special time in my life and the friendships formed in those days continue today, some 15 years later. It was also one of the most impactful eras of my life. Fast forward to early 2023 and the emergence of AI. What if there was a group of folks that formed a community in the Kansas City area to learn more about AI and how it can be applied to business, health care and other issues? That group was established in April 2023.We need your help! If you are interested in helping build a vibrant AI community in the Kansas City area, please message me for more information. We need help to help organize events, create posts for social media channels and many other things.Stay tuned for more updates. Check out the website https://kansascity.ai for more info.

We're currently on hiatus until 2026. River Watch Beef, LLC (RiverWatchBeef.com) was founded in 2016 with a mission to deliver 100% All Natural grass-fed beef direct to your door. The result is restaurant quality (fine dining) beef delivered --for about the same price as your local butcher.Our difference: We (responsibly) raise our grass-fed beef in Colorado and Kansas -- we don't "source" our beef. We work directly with a USDA-certified processor to dry-age (21 days) and package individual cuts. Our grass-fed beef is 100% All-Natural: NO Hormones, NO GMOs, No antibiotic-laced feed, NO BS. We take pride in our beef animals.My role: As the founder, I manage all aspects of our supply chain, from ranch-to-table. This includes herd management, land management, beef processing, packaging, transportation, e-commerce, marketing, PR and shipping/delivery. I am hands-on and love to work our cattle with the cowboys that help manage our ranch.We are licensed to ship beef to consumers and restaurants in the United States. We welcome partnership opportunities.
