Artificial intelligence is evolving rapidly and it’s forcing an uncomfortable question:

Is coaching becoming obsolete?

In this special Thursday episode of Your Ultimate Life, Kellan Fluckiger explores how AI is changing coaching, mentorship, and human connection and why this shift is exposing what coaching truly is.

This conversation goes beyond fear or hype. Instead, it draws a clear line between information delivery and transformation, between automation and presence.

Kellan explains why AI can support structure and thinking, but can never replace lived experience, emotional intelligence, or embodied truth.
If you’re a coach, mentor, or leader navigating this new landscape, this episode offers clarity instead of confusion.
