Yes, dude, and I'm so glad they posted this because it gave me an opportunity to comment on what makes a trainer or a coach really effective. So the post is this. Over the past few months, I conducted an informal case study comparing two training programs, one designed by ChatGPT, and the other was MAPS Performance.

And so they prompted ChatGBT with, like, create a three-month progressive training program, you know, this, that, and the other. And so ChatGBT spit out the program. And she's like, let's see which client does better, who does better. So my comment under that was the following. I said, ChatGBT nor MAPS will ever outperform a good in-person trainer in

who can modify on the fly and consider all factors, including, this is most important, the psychology and personality of the client. And then I wanted to make this a point. People buy MAPS programs because they trust me, Adam, and Justin, not because they're the best in the world.

They also happen to be good, but we don't sell them to someone until the consumer has built a relationship with us by listening to our podcast. And my point with that as a trainer is this. A trainer who's, let's say, on a scale of 1 to 10 in terms of knowledge and just in terms of just skill, right? Let's say on a 1 to 10, they're a 7. But they've earned 100% of the client's trust.

It's going to be more effective than a trainer who's a 10 on a scale of 1 to 10 who has a 5 on the scale of trust. So the trust factor and considering that and also the psychology factor and the personality of the person is so much more important than anything else. And this is what makes a program effective. This is what makes a trainer effective.

It isn't that they have the best skill, that's important, but it's that they know how to work with the client, and the client trusts and follows them. That's what makes them truly effective.

We look at our consumers and we've sold thousands and thousands and thousands of maps programs over the last 10 years. Okay. The people that get the best results with our programs are the people that buy our programs and then continue to listen to the podcast. They listen to the podcast. Why? Because they have a good program. And our programs are good.

And I'll put them up against any other program. They're well-written. They're well-programmed. Any strength coach, any fitness coach will tell you they're well-written programs. They always get good reviews. We know what we're doing. But it's the people that continue to listen to the podcast and allow us to essentially coach them indirectly.
