In Episode 174 of the Best Coach Ever podcast, we pull back the curtain on how Lynette actually uses AI in her business—and just as importantly, how she doesn’t. This episode is a must-listen for coaches who feel overwhelmed by AI hype, confused about how to use tools like ChatGPT responsibly, or worried about sounding like a robot online.

We break down why letting AI write your captions, DMs, or client responses is a fast track to losing trust, and instead share how to use AI as a second brain to think better, move faster, and support clients more deeply—without sacrificing authenticity. From content creation to client coaching, curriculum building, and decision-making, this episode is a practical, grounded guide to using AI in a way that actually improves your business (and your sanity).

If you want to leverage AI without turning your brand into generic slop, this episode will completely change how you think about it.
