About Chris & Smartroad AI
I’m Chris Brya, and I’ve spent over 25 years in the trenches of digital marketing, e-commerce, and technology. During that time, I helped Fortune 500 companies push over $4 billion through their online channels. I built teams, launched systems, and watched innovation reshape entire industries.
Here’s what I learned: the most transformative technology of our time isn’t just for corporations with massive budgets. AI is for everyone. But most people don’t know where to start, how to integrate it into their work, or how to use it for real impact.
That’s the gap Smartroad AI exists to close.
Why This Matters
The world is moving fast, and AI is driving the transformation. But AI is only as powerful as the people using it.
I’ve watched too many talented people struggle, not because they lack potential, but because they lack AI literacy. Whether you’re trying to stay competitive in your career, guide your kids use of AI, scale your business, or just work smarter, success starts with one thing: knowing how to use AI effectively.
That’s what we do here. We don’t just teach tools. We build fluency, confidence, and systems that actually work.

What I Bring
I’ve been at the cutting edge of technology and business for two decades. I’ve worked directly with top brands, helped them navigate complex digital landscapes, and delivered measurable results at scale. More importantly, I’ve seen firsthand how AI can streamline work, education, optimize decisions, and revolutionize business.
Everything we teach at Smartroad AI is rooted in real-world application. I simplify complex concepts into step-by-step processes anyone can follow. My focus is always on helping you achieve tangible outcomes with AI.
Why This Work Is Personal
Here’s something you should know. This business isn’t just about AI training or building a company. It’s deeply personal.
I lost my mom to Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma when she was just 41. Years earlier, my brother died of Leukemia at only 8 years old.
That’s why Smartroad AI donates a portion of all revenue to Blood Cancer United (formerly the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society), the world’s largest voluntary health organization dedicated to curing blood cancers like leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease, and myeloma.
If you’ve purchased something from Smartroad AI, know that you’ve helped me honor my mom and brother in a way that matters. For that, I’m truly grateful.
And know also that when you invest in your future here in any way, no matter how small, you’re also standing beside someone else in the fight for theirs.
Here’s to that!
