Episode 231: What does the rise of AI really mean for consultants and coaches? - Jessica interviews AI about AI
In this week’s episode of the Seven Figure Consultant Podcast, I’m doing something I’ve never done before — I’m interviewing AI about AI.
If you’re a B2B consultant somewhere in the $100K–$500K range, you’re at exactly the stage where it’s tempting to bolt on more tools, more automation and more “AI-powered everything” just to feel like you’re keeping up. This episode is a challenge to that instinct.
I walk through how I actually use AI in my business — the good, the underwhelming, and the places it quietly encourages over-engineering. Then I hand the mic to my AI and ask it directly what it thinks it’s good for, where it falls short, and whether it’s really coming for consulting and coaching.
If you want to stay premium, strategic and uncommoditized while everyone else races to automate, this episode is for you.
Quotes:
“I really think we need to be using AI as a helpful intern, not an authority figure. I push back on my AI tools regularly when they make wrong assumptions or if they’re just not taking things where I want them to go, and I do think it’s important to view it like that and not let AI tell you what your priorities are and make your decisions for you.” — Jessica Fearnley
“I think the biggest question I cannot stop coming back to — is any of the output genuinely good, or is it always words that look like the thing it’s supposed to be without actually being the thing?” — Jessica Fearnley
