The secret to building a great AI coach

To build an AI coach that gives you personalized, actionable advice, you must:

Give your coach detailed context about your life.

I recently did this on a cross-country flight. Instead of watching a movie, I spent an hour writing down everything about my life in four main categories:

1. My goals for 2025

2. How I’m doing at my job and challenges

3. How my business is doing and challenges

4. How my fitness is doing and challenges

To be a little vulnerable, here’s what I wrote about my fitness goals:

I wrote ~1,000 words about my goals, job, business, and life. You should spend 30 minutes doing the same (trust me, it's worth it).
