Build Your Success Formula w/ Jodie Cook | Recast

Customers are telling you what they want. People are telling you what the demands are. They're telling you what they need, and it's just up to you to listen. And that's when you can find the truth of what your path might be, when you just listen and then you process and then you follow. I'm Jodie Cook, and you're listening to the future. What is up, everybody? Jody reminded me that it's been almost a year or maybe a little over a year since we last spoke. I enjoyed our conversation so much that I invited her back. Welcome back, Jody.

Yes. Absolutely. I am founder of Coachbox AI, and we make AI coaches based on real coaches and real consultants. And they generate leads from their audience. They coach their clients when they're not around. And some of them actually charge for access to the AI version of them, which seems like we're somewhere in the future.
