"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 more than 25 years in high tech, first at IBM, where he pioneered Focused Ion Beam techniques for failure analysis, before moving to Intel. His roles at Intel were many and varied, among them, running an analytical lab, serving as Chief of Staff to the VP managing Intel's most productive factory, and leading a 40-person international team. And along the way, he became a co-inventor on 10 U.S. patents across 5 technical fields, most of them earned as a manager contributing outside his own domain of expertise. After Intel, he founded Business Culture Advantage and then Profit Minds in 2020, where he has now served 50+ clients ranging from solopreneurs to mid-market firms.
Now partnering with his daughter, Suzy, at Profit Minds, they have shifted the focus to help businesses transform through the power of AI. Steve's mission is to take what he learned inside two of the most demanding companies on earth and put it to work for the leaders and teams of small and mid-sized businesses. The frameworks, the leadership disciplines, the operational rigor, the way world-class organizations think about culture, execution, and innovation, SMB leaders rarely get exposure to any of it, and yet they're the ones whose teams stand to benefit the most. Steve's purpose is to close that gap: to help SMB leaders and their people improve the way they lead, the way they work, and the results they produce.
Steve's superpower is bridging deep technology and the human side of business, fluently, in both directions, often in the same conversation. He calls his posture "AI Forward, People First," because "AI First" implies AI leads and humans adapt, and that's the wrong order. AI should move organizations forward while the people stay at the center. It's a philosophy grounded in three decades of cross-domain pattern recognition, a physicist's instinct for what a system is actually doing versus what it's claimed to be doing, and a leader's conviction that transformation only sticks when the humans inside it thrive.
In his spare time, Steve sings a cappella (a.k.a. Barbershop) and performed for 10 years with the Fog City Singers, including when they finished 4th in the world at the Barbershop Harmony Society's 2025 international competition. He's a serious cyclist, runner, and golfer, a long-tenured leader at his church, and a founding board member and Treasurer of The Gratitude Network, a global non-profit accelerator supporting social entrepreneurs who are improving the lives of children and youth worldwide. He's been married to his wife Donna for more than 45 years with whom he shares his love of music and travel.
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.
