My Journey: From Stay-at-Home Dad to AI Coach for Dyslexic Thinkers

Embracing Change and Overcoming Imposter Syndrome

Hello everyone,

I wanted to take a moment to share my journey with you all. For the past 12 years, I've been a stay-at-home dad and co-owner of a youth activity center business. But as they say all good things must come to an end. It is time for a change and I'm embarking on a new career path, one that's deeply personal and incredibly exciting.

This transition has not been easy. I've grappled with imposter syndrome, questioning my abilities and fearing the unknown. But I've also realized that stepping outside of my comfort zone is a challenge I'm excited to take on. As a dyslexic and neurodivergent thinker, I've faced my fair share of difficulties. But now, I'm ready to share my experiences and help others navigate through similar challenges.

Embracing AI Technology

As someone who has experienced the challenges of dyslexia, I've always been passionate about finding ways to turn these challenges into strengths. This passion led me to the world of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I've been amazed by the potential of AI, not just for traditional thinkers, but for dyslexic thinkers like myself. To share these insights, I started a newsletter, discussing the capabilities of AI and how it can revolutionize the way we process information.

Tools for Success: ChatGPT and Storied

One of the tools that has been instrumental in my journey is ChatGPT. This AI tool has been a game-changer in helping me process information and maintain accountability in my daily content posting. However, most of my original thoughts and content have first been processed through the Storied app. Storied has been incredibly helpful in taking my nonlinear ideas and turning them into linear thoughts that others can understand better.

Learning from the Best: Dan Martell

I also want to take a moment to mention my personal business coach, Dan Martell. Dan, the author of "Buy Back Your Time," has been instrumental in helping me become a better business coach. After years of coaching athletics and other small gym owners, Dan is helping me take it to the next level. His guidance has been invaluable in my journey to help business owners. An integral part of Dan's coaching involves small mastermind groups. I've found tremendous support and assistance from the other business owners in my group who are in the same position as I am. These weekly mastermind calls, along with the weekly coaching calls, have been extremely beneficial.

My Coaching Services

What I love more than anything, though, is coaching. There's something incredibly rewarding about working in small groups with fellow business owners, sharing experiences, and learning from each other. That's why I'm now offering coaching services to dyslexic thinkers, professionals, and business owners. My goal is to help them harness the power of AI technology, just like I have. In my coaching, I share my personal tech stack and my unique, outside-of-the-box prompt engineering techniques. I'm also working on establishing an AI operations help system specifically designed for dyslexic business owners. It's a big dream, but I believe it's a dream worth pursuing.

So, here I am, at the start of this new journey. I'm excited, I'm nervous, but above all, I'm ready. Ready to share, ready to coach, and ready to help others like me harness the power of AI. I hope you'll join me on this journey. Let's explore the world of AI together!

Until next time,
