How the AI Social Club Was Born
Susan and Allison met on a community app and decided to grab coffee. Susan, a tech writer and AI expert who works with advanced AI tools daily, was passionate about teaching people how to actually use AI. Allison, with her background in hospitality, sales, and marketing, had a gift for connecting with people and knew how to turn ideas into action.
Over that first conversation, something clicked. Susan had the technical expertise and teaching skills. Allison had the sales genius and marketing know-how. What if they combined their strengths to help people learn AI in a way that was practical, accessible, and actually useful?
That coffee meeting turned into a partnership, and The AI Social Club was born. Since then, they've been working 12-hour days building workshops that transform people from AI beginners into confident power users.
Their mission is simple:
Teach people how to use AI effectively so they can get real results in their work and life. You'll walk out with skills you can use immediately.
Susan brings the technical depth and instructional design. Allison brings the sales and marketing expertise that fills the room. Together, they're building something that makes AI education approachable, effective, and transformative.

Meet Your Instructor
Hi, I'm Susan, and I teach people how to become AI power users.
I've spent 10 years in tech, and I currently work at an AI-first company where I use advanced AI tools daily: custom assistants, chatbots, RAG systems, MCP servers, and multi-agent workflows. I see what AI is truly capable of when you know how to use it properly.
I also run Vibestak.ai, where I help businesses develop AI strategy and build solutions like voice agents and custom automations that transform operations. Working with clients means I'm constantly exploring what's possible with AI and finding the most effective ways to get powerful results.
My background as both a tech writer and instructional designer gives me a unique advantage: I deeply understand complex technical systems and I know how to teach people to actually use them. I've spent years translating technical complexity into clear, actionable guidance that gets people results fast.
I call Newport Beach home, and you'll usually find me running along the coast with my dog London, where most of my best ideas happen.
