Rider Harris

As Founder and CEO of GoBananas.ai, Rider has personally trained over 100 organizations, delivering hands-on AI workshops and keynotes that leave teams with real skills they use the next morning. From country clubs and real estate brokerages to mortgage companies and property management firms, he's helped thousands of professionals stop watching from the sidelines and start putting AI to work.

Rider's path to AI training wasn't conventional. A 2021 University of Missouri graduate, he was working in inside sales when ChatGPT launched in November 2022. Within weeks, he saw what most people wouldn't realize for another year: AI was about to reshape every industry, and the professionals who learned it first would win. He went all in, built GoBananas.ai from the ground up, and never looked back.

Today, Rider is one of the most in-demand AI workshop facilitators in the country. He's a recognized voice in the AI education space with a growing audience on TikTok (@ridergpt), having worked with several chapters of CMAA, IREM, MBA, BOMA, AA, CCIM, and dozens of other professional associations nationwide.

What makes Rider different? He doesn't do slide decks full of buzzwords. Every session is live, interactive, and built around the tools your team will actually use. Attendees don't just learn what AI can do. They walk out knowing how to do it themselves.
