AI & The Future of Coaching
What Can Be Replaced, and What Never Will
Artificial Intelligence is changing the landscape of every creative and human profession, including coaching. In this solo episode, Phil Goddard explores what AI can already do better than most humans, and where its reach will always end. Phil also takes a more intimate look at what those two letters, AI, might also come to mean for the coaching world.
This isn’t a debate about technology; it’s an inquiry into what makes coaching truly human: presence, curiosity, and love.
Phil takes listeners on a reflective, grounded journey through the evolving world of creation and connection, inviting both coaches and clients to return to the essence of what real transformation is built upon.
In this episode Phil shares:
• What aspects of the coaching industry are most at risk from automation
• The irreplaceable qualities that keep real coaching alive
• Why curiosity is the true heartbeat of transformation
• How creativity loses soul when it becomes mechanical
• What the future of meaningful human work might look like
• If you’re a coach: this episode invites you to rediscover your depth, to shift from performance to presence, and to build your work around what no machine can replicate.
• If you’re a coaching client: it offers clarity on what genuine coaching feels like, how to recognise when a conversation is alive, real, and transformative, and not formulaic.
This is a meditation on where technology ends, and where humanity begins.

Wanting to be an entrepreneur from a young ages, he reflects on some of his lessons from those early years, and masterfully articulates what is required in a coaching business.
Phil & Todd discuss:
* What’s missing in the coaching industry.

* Why some folks leave the coaching industry after a short while.
* The benefits of working with people smarter than you.

* Starting out as a pro coach, & why it can be so difficult to succeed in building a sustainable coaching practice.
* An insight in Paris that has helped Todd live a happy life.
* Making his life more about horses than the office.
* What’s the one thing that contributes the most to his financial liberty and financial success.
Here’s a little more about Todd
Not every entrepreneur has a world-changing innovation to bring to market or can spin off a division from a larger company to get their start. Todd Randall was a mid-level manager at a large company when he reset his work values to match his personal ones and still found a way to be a successful multi-preneur with the liberty lifestyle he craved.
Currently, Todd is a multiple-entity business owner including retail, wholesale and real estate businesses. His pride and joy is a consulting/coaching business to help aspiring entrepreneurs in hopes that they can avoid the mistakes he made in creating the liberty and/or success they dream of.
