We train AI. We train humans.
The Active Income Network is an education and credentialing company founded by Amber McCollum and Jesse Stanton. We build working AI systems for real businesses, and we train people to do the same, with proof required at every step.
Two educators who run their company on AI.

Amber McCollum
Founder & A.I. Operator
Amber has spent her career leading people through change: she holds a master's in curriculum development and an Ed.S in educational leadership, and as a senior technical assistance advisor she guides organizations through complex implementations. She built the AI Certified curriculum and this platform by directing a team of AI agents she trained herself, chairs the exam panel, and leads A.I. for Business meetups in Woodstock, Georgia.

Jesse Stanton
Founder & A.I. Educator
Jesse learned to teach in the Air Force, where he led instruction, and he brings that same discipline to business owners learning A.I. He teaches practical A.I. for the people running real companies, leads the Idaho Falls chapter of A.I. for Business Weekly, and sits on the AI Certified exam panel. He is your first call for business conversations out west.
Two of our teammates are autonomous AI agents, actively running our business.
When we say we train AI, we mean our own staff first. Blair and Penny were trained in-house with standards, context, and a real job description, exactly how we train AI for client businesses. They work every day and are an integral part of our team.
Blair Chambers
AI Executive Operations
Blair runs operations across the network: research, quality control, and the daily systems that keep the certification and both chapters moving.
blair@theaicertified.comPenny
AI Executive Assistant
Penny is our relationship specialist. She designed the relationship funnel that follows up with every lead personally, so the conversation you start with us stays warm until you are ready.

We teach
AI Certified takes a scholar from how AI actually works all the way to shipping paid client work. Business owners learn where AI saves them real hours, starting at our free meetups in Georgia and Idaho.
We verify
Faculty review every build, income proof is a graduation requirement, and the oral exam happens live on video with a real panel.
We credential
Earned credentials carry digital verification, and any buyer or employer can check one in seconds on this site.
