2963: Online Coach Red Flags | Most Online Coaches Are Using AI to Reply to You and Not Telling You

Sal, Adam, and Justin break down the most dangerous red flags when hiring an online fitness coach. They explain why 100+ clients per coach means you almost certainly aren't getting real attention, how to uncover hidden AI auto-responders, and the revealing answer you need to hear when you ask a trainer what matters most about their clients. The conversation expands into sleep's impact on athletic performance (including a striking NBA study), why timeless long-form podcasts are the only format that bucked the patience-eroding fast content trend, and personal experiments with a cortisol stack for 3 AM waking.
