I have been with Industry Rockstar in a couple of their different programs, and I think they ALWAYS go above and beyond with EVERYTHING they do! They rock and are very dedicated to truly helping people succeed.
Response from Industry RockstarOct 8, 2026
LeAnne, hearing that we always go above and beyond—and that our dedication to truly helping people succeed comes through in everything we do—means a great deal to Alessia and me. We are grateful to have you growing with us through multiple programs.
I also see the four stars, so we would love to understand where we may have missed the mark. We would genuinely appreciate your feedback on what we could do to make the experience five stars for you next time.

They present truly up-to-date…
They present truly up-to-date material—fast-paced, yet practical.

I just completed Kane & Alesia’s Start…
Well worth the investment! I just completed Kane & Alesia’s Start At The Top and have joined the AI Leadership course. With the rapid changes that are happening in business today this is a great community of folks who are tackling the tricky challenge of drinking from the fire hose and translating what they can into excellent business training for their community of entrepreneurs. Whether you are just starting out or been in business for 50 years there’s something here to keep growing and evolving. My one critique would be that there is sooo much content that IR will need to keep challenging yourselves to come up with the best way to keep everything organized and easy to find, leveraging AI to surface the information needed for each community member to take their next best action. Bravo team, keep doing what you do!
Response from Industry RockstarOct 7, 2026
Natalie, thank you for saying Start at the Top was well worth the investment and for joining the AI Leadership course. Alessia and I appreciate your recognition of the community and the way our team translates rapid change into practical training for entrepreneurs at every stage.
You are right that AI changes almost daily. Our courses are not designed as a static library of isolated lessons to pick and choose from. They are intentionally built as a guided, evolving journey, with the organization and findability becoming even clearer as you move through the complete training and apply what you learn.
As Industry Rockstar has grown rapidly, we have continued strengthening that organization, navigation, and the ways members can surface the right resources for their next best action.
One thing we will never stop adding is value. A static course might be easier to freeze into place, but it would also become outdated very quickly. We are committed to continuously updating, improving, and organizing the experience so our community receives current training—not yesterday’s AI playbook.
If you have not seen the newest improvements to organization and findability, I hope you will take another look. Our Rockstar Service team is also happy to help guide you directly to anything you need.
Thank you for the thoughtful feedback and the “Bravo team” encouragement. We will absolutely keep doing what we do—and keep making it better.

Tremendous value and purpose
They offer tremendous Value. Love the format, content and business principles. They try to help everyone out and lead with purpose and value. These are the principles I live by and hope to pay it forward with what I learn.

Just attended the free Start At The Top Conference For Entrepreneurs
Just attended the Start At The Top: The Leading Revenue Scaling Conference For Entrepreneurs, a free programme as part of an integrated suite of programmes aimed at helping people live great lives through owning and running their own businesses. The great content, means regardless of age, experience and background you will learn something. You will no doubt be inspired to get off your ass and go do, as their teachings provide a strong dose of individual empowerment and many free extras. There is always infomercial content weaved in to trade you up on to paid-for programmes and what you get for free is quite remarkable value. The content is of the highest production quality and if you are inspired to get off your ass and go do, then there are many programme options available at reasonable costs, with funding options to make the investment affordable. I decided to join their mentorship programme and believe it has the potential to be truly transformational. Can’t wait to start. I highly recommend attending the Start At The Top Conference For Entrepreneurs. Go check it out…

Mark, thank you for recognizing the great content, individual empowerment, and practical inspiration inside Start at the Top. I love that the experience made you want to get off your ass and go do something meaningful with what you learned.
It looks like we may have missed the mark somewhere along the way. When you think back over the experience, what one change would have made it even better for you? We would genuinely love to learn from your feedback and keep improving.

I highly recommend this program for professionals who want to learn practical AI applications and confidently help businesses leverage AI for real-world results.
I highly recommend this program for anyone who wants to focus on practical AI business applications rather than technical coding. The training is well-structured, with clear learning paths that make it easy to follow and apply what you're learning.
One of the program's greatest strengths is the members-only Facebook community. The community is highly supportive, and members are quick to share insights, success strategies, and helpful advice. In many cases, questions are answered by fellow members before the support team even has a chance to respond.
Another aspect I appreciate is the frequent updates on AI tools, trends, and industry developments. The content stays relevant in a rapidly evolving field, which is extremely valuable.
Since joining the program, I have become much more confident discussing AI tools, use cases, and business applications. As someone who values structure, I particularly appreciate how the course is organized. The material is well laid out, available on demand, and allows you to learn at your own pace.
That said, success in the program requires self-discipline and initiative. The resources and guidance are there, but you must be willing to take ownership of your learning and implementation.
Overall, I have no regrets about the investment I made in this course and would recommend it to anyone serious about building practical AI knowledge and consulting skills. Giving a 4-Star because, there is always room for improvement.
Response from Industry RockstarJun 20, 2026
Mary, thank you for such a thoughtful review. We truly appreciate your words about “practical AI applications” and helping businesses “leverage AI for real-world results.” It means a lot to hear that the training is “well-structured,” with “clear learning paths” that make it “easy to follow and apply what you’re learning.”
We also really appreciate you calling the members-only Facebook community “one of the program’s greatest strengths.” A community that is “highly supportive,” where members are “quick to share insights, success strategies, and helpful advice,” is something very special, and it is the value, care, and love poured into that community that makes it so powerful. In many places online, especially around AI, there is no shortage of noise, tips, tricks, and technical talk. What is rare is a place where people can step into a community like this and find real support, real insight, and real encouragement.
Thank you as well for recognizing the “frequent updates on AI tools, trends, and industry developments” and that the content “stays relevant in a rapidly evolving field,” which is “extremely valuable.” That is exactly what we strive for: helping people stay current, stay practical, and stay on the front edge of a field that keeps changing fast.
We also appreciate hearing that since joining the program, you have become “much more confident discussing AI tools, use cases, and business applications.” And yes, we fully agree with your point that success in the program requires “self-discipline and initiative.” The “resources and guidance are there,” but people do have to be willing to “take ownership of your learning and implementation.” Honestly, that is true in anything. Success in any training, school, course, or business requires self-discipline and initiative, and that is exactly why the program is built the way it is.
Thank you again for sharing that you have “no regrets about the investment” and would recommend it to anyone serious about “building practical AI knowledge and consulting skills.” We are grateful to have you with us.

A month into the AI Assisted CMO Certification course (feedback+)
I am about a month into the AI Assisted CMO Certification course. I am enjoying it so far. A few honest pieces:
1. A lot of the first sessions are very foundational / basic marketing for a course for CMOs, but I understand they're serving the full breadth of their cohorts. Be prepared for the full first month going over basic funnels, lifecycles, ICP/Persona, AI technology, and basic marketing concepts.
2. There are a decent amount of "Bonus" sessions, so be prepared to commit a lot of time to this certification if you're looking to get your full value's worth.
3. They're very strict on the Facebook group when it comes to connecting on LinkedIn, but I understand it's to keep the quality of the group clean. I would like to keep in contact with the cohort to cheer them on and occasionally connect on the sessions. This was a big reason why I signed up as I believe learning with a strong community is everything.
4. There are upsells in the material, which again, we understand is necessary for any course-related markets to grow, but don't be shocked if you spend at least one session that is an upsell to their bigger packages.
5. The Facebook group is not very user-friendly or organized. A wiki section could help us all better access information. I think the use of pinned posts could keep it a lot more useful for day-to-day use. Even creating a separate space for cohorts to connect on a person-to-person level would be great to have.
6. They do not provide a summary of the event after attendance, so if you are trying to keep clean notes, you're kind of on your own.
7. Most of the reminder emails for the day's sessions link to a registration page instead of the direct link to the cast / live event, which doesn't seem aligned with a pre-paid experience.
Overall, this is a pretty powerful event with some technical aspects that could use a little more refinement. They have great presenters and experts, and a lot of value can be taken from even the stories that are shared. I think for the price, it's pretty worthwhile.
Response from Industry RockstarJun 20, 2026
Lindsey, thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review and for sharing both what you are “enjoying so far” and what you feel could be stronger. We genuinely appreciate that, especially because you still called this “a pretty powerful event,” said there are “great presenters and experts,” and shared that “a lot of value can be taken from even the stories that are shared.” We also appreciate you saying that “for the price, it’s pretty worthwhile.”
You are right that some of the first sessions can feel “very foundational / basic marketing” if someone is coming in with more experience. What we have found over the years is that many people try to build on a shaky foundation, and the things that sound familiar at first often become the very things that unlock stronger implementation later. That is why we reinforce funnels, lifecycles, ICP / Persona, AI technology, and core marketing concepts so people are not just learning tactics, but building on the right structure underneath them.
You also mentioned the “Bonus” sessions and the time commitment involved if someone wants to get “your full value’s worth.” That is fair, and it is by design. We continuously add value, and many students find there are resources, bonuses, and materials already available to them that they have not fully explored yet.
We appreciate your understanding that we are “very strict on the Facebook group” in order to “keep the quality of the group clean.” Protecting the quality of the group matters to us. We know some people want to connect more freely on LinkedIn or promote themselves more directly, but we have found that keeping the space clean, focused, and safe creates a better environment for real learning and real relationships. And we agree with you that “learning with a strong community is everything.”
On the point about “upsells in the material,” we do want to clarify something for you and for anyone reading this. Once you purchase a course, there are no upsells inside that course for the course itself. You have lifetime access to what you bought, lifetime access to the replays, and as we continue updating the training to keep pace with the newest technology, students receive access to future advancements as well. What you may be seeing are invitations to invest in other trainings, other courses, or mentorship opportunities. Those are separate opportunities, not upsells tied to your original purchase.
You also mentioned that the Facebook group is “not very user-friendly or organized” and that “a wiki section” or more pinned guidance could make it “a lot more useful for day-to-day use.” That is thoughtful feedback, and we appreciate it. At the same time, we do find that Facebook is still the easiest and most familiar platform for most people to access quickly, and we intentionally use it as a place for community, support, and connection.
On your note that “they do not provide a summary of the event after attendance” and that if you are trying to keep “clean notes,” you are “kind of on your own,” we want to offer some clarity there too. We do not provide transcripts or done-for-you summaries as a standard handout because part of what we teach is ownership, implementation, and the ability to apply what you are learning. You do, however, have lifetime access to the replays and resources throughout the program designed to help you move your business forward.
Thank you again, Lindsey, for such a candid and thoughtful review. We sincerely appreciate your recognition of the “great presenters and experts,” the “strong community,” and the fact that this is “a pretty powerful event.” Your feedback is valuable, and we are grateful you took the time to share it.
