#181: Circle Member Paul Hughes Masterclass on Using Custom AI to Create Content, Build Brand Awareness and Make More Qualified Sales!
In this episode of the Fitness Business Podcast, I interview my friend, former mentee and current Circle member Paul Hughes, a fitness coach who transitioned from a building surveyor to a strength coach after overcoming personal injuries.  We discuss the integration of AI in fitness coaching, particularly how custom GPTs can streamline content creation and enhance brand awareness. Paul shares his journey, the practical applications of AI tools, and the importance of consistency in building a brand. We also touch on common business mistakes, the value of networking with other coaches, and the underrated importance of personal connections in business.  Timestamps:  00:49 Introduction to AI in Fitness Coaching 03:51 Paul's Journey: From Surveyor to Strength Coach 06:46 Building Custom GPTs for Business Efficiency 09:40 Creating Content with AI: A Game Changer 12:30 Brand Awareness and Consistency through AI 15:36 Exploring AI Tools for Automation 18:32 Combining AI Tools for Enhanced Content Creation 21:24 Navigating the Limitations of AI 24:13 Business Lessons Learned: Mistakes and Growth 27:12 Overcoming Video Content Fears 29:58 Underrated and Overrated Tools in Business 32:48 Final Thoughts and Advice for New Coaches  Join the Circle here: https://briankeanefitness.com/online-mastermind  Details for business mentorship: https://briankeanefitness.com/mentorship-and-business-coaching]  Paul's website: https://templetownsc.com/about-us/  Paul's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/templetownstrengthconditioning/  The Lower Back Pain Podcast: https://sites.libsyn.com/585585
