1299: How AI Can (and Can’t) Help You Reach Your Goals
Manage episode 479128213 series 89543
Is AI your new accountability partner… or just another shiny distraction?
In this episode, I’m sharing a real, nuanced conversation about the rise of AI tools—how they can support your goals, where they fall short, and why none of it matters if you’re still skipping the root work.
I use AI. I love it. It’s smart, fast, and powerful. But I’m seeing more and more people treat it like a replacement for coaching, for community, for consistency—and that’s where things get dangerous.
🔑 We talk about:
What AI can help you with (meal plans, workouts, motivation…)
Where it completely fails you (especially on your hard days)
Why self-awareness still beats strategy every time
The truth about “on/off” behavior loops and how AI can make them worse
A story about a client who had all the tools—and was still stuck
Because here’s the truth: You don’t need more information. You need to become the person who actually follows through.
🧠 This episode will help you:
Use AI without outsourcing your self-leadership
Spot the patterns that keep you stuck (and call them out)
Finally understand why your problem isn’t about the plan—it’s about the practice
🎯 And if you’re tired of ghosting your goals and calling it “life happens”… This is exactly why I created The Consistency Course. It’s time to stop starting over. Let’s build the skill together.
Mentioned In Today's Episode:
Mood+ (use code BENTON to save $10 on your first order)
Check out Upgrade - a go-at-your-own pace 6 week program around implementation and becoming a better thinker (so you make better decisions)
P.S. Tag me on IG with your favorite takeaway or aha moment—I love hearing what lands for you.
