About the Presenter:

Rod Burkert

In one way, shape, or form Rod has been performing business valuations since the late 1980s. In July 2000, Rod started Burkert Valuation Advisors in Philadelphia where he ran a “traditional” valuation practice for 10 years.

From March 2010 to March 2022, Rod traveled full-time in an RV throughout the US and Canada with his wife and dogs. When he saw the possibilities of a location-independent practice, he started rbCOACHING to help others transform their BVFLS firms. 

Rod has since settled in Bisbee, AZ and focuses solely on practice management coaching. And when the first AI model rolled out in late 2022, he saw the potential that AI could have for the BVFLS profession. That began a journey of self-learning and experimentation, culminating in Rod’s launch of his AI for BVTM newsletter in January 2025. His mission: Turn the practice you have into the practice you want … with an assist from AI.
