| 0:00.0 | Hey everybody. Welcome back to the Muscle Intelligence Podcast. I am your host, Ben Bukkelski. |
| 0:05.0 | This is a special episode geared at coaches and trainers out there. Many of us are experiencing some of the uncertainty that artificial intelligence brings with it, specifically coaches, performance coaches. |
| 0:19.0 | I know it's affecting our business and people are like, hey, should I just be using AI to create diet plans and work out plans and maybe do blood read? |
| 0:27.6 | And there's a lot I want to caution you about in this episode. |
| 0:31.6 | So whether you're a personal trainer or someone who's been using AI to optimize the way you would feel and perform or try to optimize |
| 0:37.8 | your training program. I'm going to give a lot of insights on this one specifically for training. |
| 0:41.4 | You've got to talk to you about how to take your business from one that's maybe a little bit |
| 0:45.8 | shaky, having hard time acquiring clients, to ultimately becoming one that has a magnetic appeal |
| 0:51.2 | for your ideal customer. So how do you get people to reach out to you personally so that you have a waiting list |
| 0:57.1 | that's always ready to purchase. |

| 1:18.1 | So it's very important to acknowledge that most people have no idea what's coming. |

No matter what industry you're in, some version of AI is coming for your job. And so your responsibility is to not stick your head in the sand, be like, I don't believe in it, I'm not going to use it. It's to become an AI empowered coach or an AI empowered version of yourself. And now there's a lot of nuance that exists within that. |
| 1:45.2 | So, yes, artificial intelligence will be coming to change your job. |
| 1:49.6 | It's going to do a lot of the things you used to do or people used to pay you for. |
| 1:53.9 | So I think the days of the $50 an hour and $75 an hour person trainer are gone. |
| 1:59.2 | I think that the low level rep counter or plate loader, listen, it's gone. |
| 2:03.7 | You need to upgrade your skills, your knowledge, and your understanding, ultimately how to apply |
