CAREER JOURNEY
Jason most recently ran a $5M accounting practice in Oregon in 2022, now runs a YouTube channel for accounting firm owners, and has produced commercials for companies like LinkedIn and Zapier. Jason has produced the world’s most-watched AI accounting content, and in 2023 launched a daily show for accountants named Jason Daily.

WHY HE'S SHARING HIS EXPERTISE AT EMERGE
Jason creates content online in order to demystify artificial intelligence. While AI has become a massive marketing wave, framed poorly, it can come off as a cheap attention grab. But meaningful applications of AI represent a tremendous marketing opportunity, as long as we're focused on practical applications.

TOP TIP FOR NAVIGATING INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGIES
Stick to the problem, rather than the tech. Accountants are looking for time-saving solutions, whether it's AI that gets them there or not.
