I don't know any other languages. Unlike you, Vince, I am not multilingual, but I am a really good English to English translator.

I think that's a fantastic question. 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, right? 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 going to write my resume.

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