I don’t teach AI because I think everyone should use it.
I teach it because too many values-driven entrepreneurs are trying to navigate complex decisions with no one in the room who shares their ethics.
I’m Marissa Garza, and I sit in the space most people skip over—the part where you’re curious about AI but unsure how to engage without betraying your values. Most consultants assume buy-in. Most critics avoid it entirely. I help you decide, with full integrity, whether AI belongs in your business at all.
This isn’t about simplifying complexity or pushing adoption. It’s about building the rare kind of support that meets you where you are: already discerning, already thoughtful, already trying to lead with care.
Why I Built This Work
I spent years trying to integrate my ethics into systems that weren’t built to hold them—first in corporate spaces, then in creative ones. When AI entered the conversation, I saw the same patterns repeating:
Rigid frameworks with no room for nuance
Ethical hesitation dismissed as resistance
Strategic support that skipped the values
So I created something different: a space where curiosity doesn’t get punished, and opting out is just as valid as implementing.
What I Believe
You don’t have to use AI to be a responsible entrepreneur.
Your hesitation is a strength, not a liability.
No one should feel pressured into decisions their values can’t carry.
Exploration deserves context—not just tech tutorials or hype.
If you’re tired of sorting through noise and nuance alone—I’m here for that part.
Most of my clients don’t need convincing. They need a place where their discernment is honored, and their questions aren’t flattened into binary choices.
