Profit Minds helps business owners, career coaches, and professionals adopt AI effectively, efficiently, and ethically, no matter where you're starting.
Most people fall into one of three AI mindsets. Hover over each card to find your path forward.
AI feels overwhelming or risky. We make the process safe, simple, and fully guided.

"88% of organizations now use AI. The gap isn't access, it's who acts on it first."

"I was buried in tasks that weren't moving the needle. Now I'm working on my business, not just in it. Tasks that used to take hours now take minutes. The clarity and focus I have now? I call it priceless."
"This program has been a game changer. Two months into a new role, I've accomplished things I wouldn't have managed until month five. The thing I use every day: asking AI how AI can help you."
"Before Suzanne's course, I saw AI as just a fancy search engine. Now I know how to set up AI for my specific work. An hour a week of class and it genuinely changed how I work every day."
Dr. Steven Kirch's path to Profit Minds began with a Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign, followed by 25+ years in high tech. At IBM he pioneered Focused Ion Beam techniques for failure analysis; at Intel he ran an analytical lab, served as Chief of Staff to the VP of Intel's most productive factory, and led a 40-person international team. Along the way he became co-inventor on 10 U.S. patents across 5 fields, most earned as a manager contributing outside his own expertise. He founded Profit Minds in 2020 and has since served 50+ clients, from solopreneurs to mid-market firms.
Steve's real superpower is rare: being both deeply technical and genuinely people-savvy. He bridges the world of advanced technology and the human side of business, translating what AI can actually do into what it should do for the leaders and teams who have to live with the results.
He has focused Profit Minds on helping businesses transform through AI, taking the frameworks, leadership disciplines, and operational rigor of two of the most demanding companies on earth and putting them to work for the leaders of small and mid-sized businesses, the people who rarely get exposure to any of it and stand to benefit the most.
He calls his posture "AI Forward, People First," because AI should remove the friction between thinking and doing, not do the thinking for you. As Steve puts it, "we don't want AI to replace your brain, you still gotta think."
Outside work, Steve sings a cappella, performing 10 years with the Fog City Singers (4th in the world at the 2025 Barbershop Harmony Society international). He's a cyclist, runner, and golfer, a longtime leader at his church, and founding board member and Treasurer of The Gratitude Network. He and his wife Donna have been married more than 45 years.
While working on her Master's in Mathematics, Suzanne discovered her fascination with AI. She worked for AI start-up Cognizer, becoming an inventor on two patents (primary inventor on one), with four more pending. Her fascination with AI stems from its unique combination of applied mathematics, computer science theory, and linguistics, particularly Natural Language Processing (NLP).
Now working with her father Dr. Steven Kirch at Profit Minds, Suzanne's focus areas include AI training and consulting, enabling clients to use Generative AI safely, ethically, and responsibly. She also works in a consulting role: solving problems, conducting research, refining AI implementation strategies, and developing custom AI workflows and policies.
Suzanne's superpower lies in her ability to take complex technical concepts and explain them to people who are not particularly technically minded, believing that AI should be for all.
