These teachers and leaders are part of a growing statewide effort to bring responsible, practical, and future-ready AI integration into classrooms and school systems across Ohio and beyond.

This growing community will spend the next 11 months exploring tools, sharing wins, and applying what they’ve learned to elevate instruction, leadership, and student engagement.

We’re proud of the work you’ve done and excited for what’s ahead.

Welcome to the movement.

HB 96 Is Now Law. Here’s What It Means for Your District.

Ohio House Bill 96 requires every school district to adopt a formal Artificial Intelligence policy by July 1, 2026.

But this isn’t just about compliance.

It signals a major shift in how schools must think about:
• AI governance
• Ethical use
• Data privacy
• Academic integrity
• Staff training

Districts that treat this as a paperwork task will struggle.

Districts that treat this as a leadership opportunity will build clarity, confidence, and consistency across their systems.

In this carousel, we break down what HB 96 requires — and what smart districts are doing now to prepare.

And while districts are still debating AI policy…

799 Ohio employers were just awarded $15.4 million in TechCred funding, supporting 10,895 tech credentials in the November round alone.

The spring 2026 application window is expected soon.

The districts that receive funding are the ones who:
• Have a plan
• Have a partner
• Know what credential they’re pursuing

If you’re waiting until 2026 to think about AI training, you may miss both innovation and funding.

Join the waitlist to receive TechCred updates and funding guidance when the next window opens.

Save this post. Share with your leadership team.

If you want support building your AI implementation roadmap (including funding pathways), join our waitlist or schedule a call.

“I want my students to understand how to use AI responsibly before they enter the workforce.”

That’s the real shift.
AI literacy is no longer optional.

Students will graduate into AI-driven industries.
The question isn’t whether they’ll encounter AI.

It’s whether they’ll know how to use it ethically, critically, and responsibly.

Districts that prepare now build future-ready graduates.
Districts that delay risk widening the readiness gap.

If AI policy lands on your desk this year, this is your move. Ohio’s HB96 requires districts to adopt a formal AI policy by July 1, 2026. Other states are following suit.

But here’s the real question:
Will your district build policy after problems arise or build clarity before they do?

District leaders who are ahead right now are doing three things: 
✔ Establishing guardrails before classroom confusion
✔ Training staff before integrity concerns escalate
✔ Identifying funding before application windows open

Waiting does not reduce risk.
Preparation does.

Join the AI in Education waitlist to: 
• Receive TechCred and funding updates
• Access implementation guidance
• Build your district roadmap before deadlines force urgency

AI Policy in Schools Is No Longer Optional.

Ohio House Bill 96 requires every district to adopt an AI policy by July 1, 2026.

And nationally, the shift is happening fast: from AI guidance to AI implementation.

The question isn’t whether AI belongs in education.

It’s whether your district is prepared to govern it responsibly, protect student data, and train staff with clear guardrails.

In Part 2 of our 5-part series, we break down:

✔ What HB 96 actually requires
✔ Why policy without training creates risk
✔ How districts are preparing for AI implementation in 2026
✔ What leaders must do now to stay ahead

👉 Read the blog here: https://lnkd.in/ec8R9khD

If your district needs a structured plan, including funding guidance, join the AI in Education waitlist to receive readiness resources and TechCred updates.

AI policy will be required.
AI leadership will be the advantage.

Educators aren’t just learning about AI.
They’re implementing it quickly.

In our most recent AI in Education cohort, many participants reported they plan to implement student-facing AI activities within two weeks of completing the course.

Not next year.

Not once it feels “perfect.”

Within weeks.

When educators are given: 
• Clear guardrails
• Ethical boundaries
• Practical workflows

They move forward responsibly.

AI readiness isn’t about hype.

It’s about structure.

If your district is still observing from the sidelines, implementation may already be happening inside your classrooms without a plan.
Join the waitlist to receive funding updates, implementation resources, and rollout guidance.

How Teachers Are Using AI in Classrooms Responsibly

The Last LinkedIn Coach You'll Ever Need | I Help You Get Fully Booked (simple as that) - 710+ Client Wins / $1.4M Inbound

Experts hire me to grow a 6 or 7-figure LinkedIn audience. 

Even when they’ve tried most things out there. 

(some of them, pretty much everything). 

I help them do that through advanced social selling and finding clients based on behaviour. 

Wait, instead of telling you who I help & what I do, let me pull back the curtain and show you: 


1️⃣ Recently, I coached and helped a Founder to scale his company to €1M in revenue through inbound. 

→ He had previously invested in a popular LI program that didn't work.


2️⃣ Three coaches I worked with recently built a 6-figure business off LinkedIn. 

→ Two of them are executive coaches, and one is a business coach. 


3️⃣ Currently working with a best-selling author trusted by the biggest brands on earth (100K people trained).

→ She has been in rooms with the biggest LI experts, but nothing worked. 


4️⃣ I helped Maria Malik (241K followers) to scale from $5K/mo to $30K/mo in 60 days. 


5️⃣ Recently coached a top LinkedIn creator with 111K followers to monetize her visibility 


Other clients include people with 12M books sold and serial entrepreneurs with multiple companies.

But also new or quiet LinkedIn creators who want to get fully booked and enjoy la vida. 

[This was written on the 7th January 2026] 


Hey there, I am Xhoni Mimillari. 

I apologize for the long introduction, but it’s quite hard to tell who is an expert and who is pretending nowadays. 

So I had to share some behind-the-scenes work instead of putting together some compelling copy. 

Other than a LinkedIn coach, I am a conversion specialist. 

And there are 2 ways to work with me: 

1. 4-month Private 1-on-1 Experience 
2. 3-Hour VIP Coaching Session 

More info in the featured section. 

Thanks for reading, speak soon. 


A bit about me; 

• I was born in Albania (grew up in Greece) and have been living in Italy for 20 years.
• I have a deep passion for psychology 
• I used to play football - Under-17 Monaco team 
• I love family time, and Bud Spencer's movies
• When I am not working, you'll find me playing Tennis somewhere.

I started here with circa 220 followers. 

No help, no connections. No personal brand.

It’s nice to be a beautiful example for anyone who comes to me for help.

Most can relate to it. 

When you have 500K followers, 5 VAs, a marketing team, and who knows what else behind the scenes, 

You can lose sight of how difficult it can be for the average creator here. 

How lonely and quiet it can feel.

Yesterday, I got this message from a private client: 

“2nd client signed today 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳 I will buy and send you good wine as a thank you 🙏” 

It made my day yesterday because I know how important it was for her. 

• I could relate to the struggle
• I could relate to people ghosting 
• I could relate to not feeling like it 
• I could relate to getting 800 impressions on a post
  
And I could relate to winning regardless of all that! 

When I say “I’ll see you at the top”, 
not saying it from a pedestal.  

Saying it from somewhere further ahead, ready to grab your hand when you pass by. 

I am rooting for you, keep at it.

The Last LinkedIn Expert You’ll Ever Need - Trusted by 200+ Experts Globally, Including CEOs and 7/8-Figure Founders

What reputation are you building on LinkedIn?

I am NOT talking about: 

1. The number of impressions you get
2. How many followers you have 
3. How many posts you put out 
4. Or how many leads you get 

I am referring to what people say about you behind the scenes. 

In rooms, calls, and events you are not in.

That’s where experts get chosen. 

→ Weak reputation: That person has such good visibility 
→ Strong reputation: I’ve heard so many good things about them 👇

The point of being on LinkedIn is that you build such a strong word of mouth that you don’t need to be on it.

There is your takeaway.

As for me, I can go months without posting here, and I’d still have more demand than I can handle. 

But I am not stopping, I love meeting new people and creating great relationships! I enjoy it a lot. 

For all my new and recent connections, I am grateful to have you in my network ♥️

I’ll see you at the top. 

--- 

P.S: 

At the moment, I am organizing a 5-day retreat for 5-6 founders in Italy (or the French Riviera). 
We’d hang around in a Luxury villa, a yacht, and who knows what else, to personally show you how to unlock €40K+ in 4 days.

Don’t inquire about this unless you are an expert and can add value in some way.

I am looking for 50 creators to help them sign 1 to 3 clients in March (for free). 

This is called the audience-to-revenue challenge. 

Comment below “I am in” and I’ll grant you access to:

→ Two of my courses on LinkedIn conversion & marketing psychology.

→ 10 frameworks to craft high-converting posts.

→ 10 posts from private clients that have crushed it (model them). 

→ My personal video content playbook for videos that convert.


If you think this is one of those time-waste giveaway posts, it’s not.  

Last week, a career coach messaged me:  
“Xhoni, I have closed four 5-figure clients thanks to your course.” [screenshot in comments]. 

Yeah, that’s $40K+ in new revenue.

I want you to win! 

So, where are my 50 creators and founders at? 
Don’t be shy ✌️

Comment “I am in,” and I’ll send over the links right away. 

If you tag 3 awesome creators who may want to join, you get something cooler (surprise) 🥳

Who is in?

I look forward to hearing about your success. 

To the winners belong the spoils.

If your business gives you the freedom to:

• Do work you like
• Travel more 
• Provide a good lifestyle for your family 
• Take long walks on a random Monday

Then, you are more successful than you think. 

As for me, I didn't start my business to work harder forever and burn out.

I did start it, so I can:

1. Try new things & hobbies 
2. Take more time off to travel 
3. Work with cool and skilled folks  
4. Wire my parents €5K for no reason
5. Earn enough so I can invest early on

1 year ago, I promised myself I’d prioritize these. 


1️⃣ Since then, I haven’t tried any new hobby (shiet). 

But I tried a few new things. Recent one: Live workshops (103 people showed up for the latest one).


2️⃣ I travelled to Crete (Geneva in 2 weeks).


3️⃣ I signed up my biggest clients ever - helped 10 founders build 6-figure businesses off LinkedIn.


4️⃣ Mama and Papa are taken care of. 


5️⃣ And I made my first real estate investment. A beautiful apartment in Sanremo (no banks were asked to lend, they can go f themselves  😁). 


And LinkedIn is the sole reason all this was possible. 

I believed in the platform from day one. 

And the community I built here makes all work & consistency worth it.

Thank you for being on this journey of mine, and it’s a pleasure to follow the journey of many people here. 

Many of you inspire me. 

As you may already know, I am always rooting for you ♥️

Follow me Xhoni for what’s to come.

I invest €125k/yr running my little consulting business. 

I don’t have to invest that because I have to. I do because I believe in its growth & potential. 

So, I hire mentors, experts, and assistants. I also improve my product & client experience. 

Yesterday, 2 founders invested in my 4-month private coaching. 

They bet on their business to win and thrive here. And they bet on themselves (and me, clearly). 

In the next few years, I aim high and don’t want to get there alone. I plan to hire experts, mentors, and invest in systems. 

I plan to, because that's the signal I want to give: 

→ I take this seriously, and so should you. 

I'll see you at the top.
