This EP features Andrew Eaton. Andrew is a teacher, who integrates traditional strength training, mindset coaching, and brain-based physical training. He found his way to weight training as a response to being bullied in middle school. The lessons learned there laid the foundation for an entire career.
After college, he was certain that a radio career was the next step in his journey, but he found himself instead writing and editing a periodical for back-care professionals. Then, ten words on a flyer at the gym changed his trajectory - advertising the first personal training certification course on the East Coast.
Shortly after completing that course, a chance encounter while visiting family found him relocating halfway across the US to take a ground-floor position in the facility the Chicago Bulls called home. Once there, like many 'fitness nerds,' he set out to learn as much as possible, wanting to become something of a fitness Swiss Army knife. He also met his wife and her son, and they had two children together.
Over the following ten years, he left the club and started Eaton Sports and Fitness, designed to support athletes on their path toward performance. The last decade has included certifications in nutrition, mindset, and most recently, the revelation that he'd been missing a significant piece of his education.
Andrew lives in Illinois with his daughter, Kate, and his grand-dog, Fiona.

In this episode, Alex Dziri and I discuss the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to transform various industries, including coaching. AI is here to stay and we must recognize what it can do for us, and how we can employ it to support our work, not eliminate it.
We emphasized the need for humans to adapt to the changing landscape and collaborate with AI systems while acknowledging the limitations of AI and the potential for it to impact jobs.
Alex introduced a metaphor to help people think about AI more productively, viewing it as a sort of autistic cousin who is smarter than us, and recognizing that AI has all the answers we need but we need to ask it the right way.
We also discussed the potential of AI in content creation, emphasizing its role as a collaboration tool rather than a replacement for human writers or artists. We hope this episode helps you to embrace the use of AI in your work and life, and that it supplies you with some strategies to get started or continue on your journey with Artificial Intelligence.
