I am super glad that i got out of teaching at the time when generative ai is emerging on the market i think teaching is going to have to change dramatically the written assignment i remember when i was growing up we memorized the multiplication tables when we get to high school They say, okay, now you don't have to do your long division.

Now you don't have to do it all on pencil and paper. You can finally use a calculator. We needed you to learn how to do it so that your brain would actually understand what the calculator was doing for you. Right? But you can now use a calculator. And then you get into college. particularly nowadays, where you can now build an Excel spreadsheet.

So what has happened to math and teaching math and the role of memorizing the multiplication tables is what's now happening with English, right? What's happening with language. Not just English, but any language. And that is, I can prompt a chat GPT to write a paper on Moby Dick without even reading the book.

If I don't read the book and write the paper, my brain is not actually growing into the pathways that... Reading and thinking and doing your own analysis allows it to do. And then every kid's paper about Moby Dick says exactly the same thing. How the world is going to deal with this is completely beyond me, but I'm really glad it's not my problem to solve.

So let me go to the question that you asked. How do I think it relates to the coaching? Ultimately, building a business is a human to human engagement. You have to acquire customers. You have to take care of those customers. You have to have stakeholders who believe in you, who help you build your business.

You have to have investors that you report to, and you have to have a deep understanding of your business to succeed in all of those things. So let's imagine that you create a brilliant pitch deck using AI, and it gets you a meeting with an investor. What's that conversation look like? I'm convinced that we're in a world now, particularly around HR where AI is gonna write my resume.

I'm just gonna answer questions about what I've done in my life. And then AI is gonna write my resume and I'm gonna ship it off to a company where an AI is gonna evaluate my resume. And when it rejects my resume, I'm gonna feed my resume through an AI that understands why resumes are accepted or rejected. And I'm gonna submit a different AI written resume that's gonna pass the AI standards

I'm gonna find myself in an interview with the hiring manager I'm not going to have the slightest idea what my resume says, how it was positioning me, how it was presenting me. What's going to happen? What's the interview going to look like? That's where entrepreneurs are. AI can absolutely help them write a polished business plan that appears to answer all the questions.

But if they haven't done the research, if they haven't figured out what the analogs tell them, if they haven't interviewed the customers, if they haven't attempted the... exercises, experiments in social media marketing that will help them figure out what their customer acquisition cost is going to be. If they haven't done the work, the meeting with the investor is going to be a disaster.

I'm actually writing a book right now. It's called Picture Pitch, an Entrepreneur's Guide to Winning Coffee Dates with Investors. And I use the dating analogy, the dating metaphor throughout the book to say, You're not creating a pitch deck. You're not creating a 10 minute presentation. You're not creating a story.
