Airhead Institute was built on a radical idea: that AI education should be free, daily, ethical, and accessible to every human being — regardless of age, background, or technical ability.
The Founders

John Chmela — Co-Founder
John Chmela is an NLP Master, published author, and the creator of the "AI-Jacking" methodology — a proprietary framework for applying the success strategies of top performers to any goal using AI.
He writes a new Applied AI article on LinkedIn every single day, applying AI to real-world success systems from business leaders, celebrities, athletes, and innovators. His articles have been read by hundreds of thousands of professionals worldwide.
John is also the founder and lead speaker of the Applied AI Speakers Bureau, where he offers both tandem keynotes and stand-alone "AI Power-Up" presentations for conferences and corporate events.
He is the author of AI: Code of Ethics — required reading for advanced Airhead students.
