Most books on coaching and business focus on surface-level actions like list building, client generation, and marketing. This book, however, recognizes that unless you address the deepest, most unconscious “shadow” layers of your operating system, you will self-sabotage your growth at every level.

And it has nothing to do with the latest marketing trend or fad. The method I’m going to share with you is unlike any of the common nutrition courses or certifications that teach you “head knowledge,” ...

How do we go from proficiency to mastery in sports? From average to elite. From having a “lot of moving parts” to being economical and efficient in our movements. From feeling rushed and pressured to slowing time down and acting like you knew what was going to happen all along. From deciding to take the best option available to moving to shape and change the options afforded to us. From building easily disrupted and broken skills to adaptable and even anti-fragile ones, getting stronger through being challenged.

"My AI Diabetes Coach" is a book I never intended to write. It began as a health experiment. In Fall of 2023, an A1c score of 6.6% put me squarely in the diabetic range. My new doctor, somewhat surprisingly, asked me what I wanted to do about it. I suggested a 2-week trial of Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM), and in short order, I was fitted with a Freestyle Libre 3 CGM sensor, and the experiment was underway. On day 1, however, the experiment took an unexpected turn I had been trying out the latest version of Google's Al chatbot, Google Gemini, powered by the Gemini Pro model. On a whim...
