Stop watching AI avatar demos and build your own. In 90 minutes at this hands-on HeyGen training, you leave with a working AI Twin of your face and voice — plus a playbook to put it to work.
You will build a functional AI Twin of yourself — face and voice — inside a single 90-minute session using HeyGen.
Bryan Fikes walks every attendee through the build process hands-on, not just the theory.
Every participant leaves with Bryan's AI marketing playbook covering how to dominate their business vertical using AI the right way.
The event is capped at 15 seats, with a live virtual feed and replay available for remote attendees.
Your first drink and light bites are covered — this is a working session, not a lecture.
Most business owners have watched an AI avatar demo and thought, that is impressive, but they have never actually built one. That gap — between watching and doing — is exactly what this session closes.
On Wednesday, October 14th, Bryan Fikes of Bonsai Marketing is hosting the Bonsai Tech Happy Hour: Build Your AI Twin at Belly Left Coast Kitchen and Taproom in downtown Santa Rosa (5234 Street, 4:00–5:30 PM). The format is simple: bring your laptop, show up ready to work, and leave 90 minutes later with a functioning AI Twin of your own face and voice.
What Actually Happens in the Room
This is not a panel discussion or a slide deck about the future of AI. Bryan walks every attendee through a live HeyGen build — the same platform used to create AI avatars that look and sound like you. By the end of the session, your avatar exists. It works. You built it.
That distinction matters. A lot of AI content teaches concepts. This session produces a deliverable.
The Tool: HeyGen
HeyGen is one of the most capable AI video platforms available for personal avatar creation. It trains on your face and your voice, then generates video content that represents you — without requiring you to be on camera every single time. For any business owner who has avoided video marketing because of time or discomfort, this changes the equation.
The Playbook You Take Home
Building the avatar is step one. Knowing how to use it is what actually moves the needle.
Every attendee receives Bryan’s AI marketing playbook — a practical guide to dominating your business vertical using AI the right way. Not the noisy, trend-chasing way. The strategic way that builds authority and drives real visibility.
The playbook covers how to deploy your AI Twin across marketing channels so it works while you are not, how to avoid the common mistakes that make AI content feel hollow, and how to position AI as a competitive advantage rather than a novelty.
The Details
- Date: Wednesday, October 14th
- Time: 4:00–5:30 PM
- Location: Belly Left Coast Kitchen and Taproom, downtown Santa Rosa
- Seats: 15 in-person only
- Cost: First drink and light bites are on Bonsai Marketing
- Can’t make it in person? A live virtual feed and replay are available
The 15-seat cap is intentional. This is a working session, not a webinar. Bryan needs to be able to move through the room and troubleshoot in real time. When seats are gone, they are gone.
Who This Is For
If you are a business owner, marketer, or professional who knows AI video is becoming a standard part of competitive marketing — and you want to get ahead of it in your market rather than catch up to it later — this session is built for you.
You do not need a technical background. You need a laptop and 90 minutes.
The business owners who build this capability now will be the ones competitors are trying to replicate in 18 months.
