AI became a collaborator, not a shortcut, and it let me build a real business on top of what I already knew in my heart.
I came in a marketer. I'm building the business my heart already knew.
Before this program, I was 26 years into a corporate marketing career, and I already knew what I wanted to build: life coaching for parents of competitive youth soccer players, born from 13 years navigating that world with my own two sons. I just didn't know how.
Thanks to this program, I built every part of that foundation myself, in the hours before and after a full-time job: the why, a vision statement, brand DNA, an ideal client profile, a brand book, a live website, and a working app prototype with a real database I built from scratch. I wasn't a technical expert. AI became a collaborator, not a shortcut, and it let me build a real business on top of what I already knew in my heart.
And now, my life is this: I graduated AI Mastery, and my last day at my corporate job was last week. I'm starting my business, FieldSide Coaching, alongside real conversations with parents that keep shaping it, and I'm in the Speaking and Influencer Summit now, working toward a stage big enough to reach the clubs these families belong to. This is a beginning, not a finished thing.
