AI JUST PROVED MOST COACHES WERE NEVER COACHING
About this episode
AI isn’t destroying coaching — it’s revealing who was never doing the real work. In this revealing conversation, Kellan Fluckiger brings on Stephen and Michael to take an honest look at the coaching industry, the rise of AI tools, and why so many “coaches” are scrambling to hold onto their authority.
Together, they break down why human connection still matters, what AI actually can and cannot replace, and why the future belongs to coaches who create transformation — not information.
