Are we ready for the truth about coaching in the age of AI? 🤖✨

In this special Thursday coaching edition of Your Ultimate Life, Kellan Fluckiger sits down with Dr. Matt Markel and Lucia Rester to explore how AI influences coaching, consulting, and transformation — and what only humans can bring to the table.

We dive into:
✔ How coaching and consulting differ
✔ How AI can assist — and where it falls short
✔ Why lived experience, presence, and human insight matter most
✔ What the future holds for coaches and changemakers

Whether you’re a coach, creator, leader, or lifelong learner, this is a conversation you won’t want to miss. 🎧
