Cody joins me to share his thoughts on:


Will AI like ChatGPT help people get healthier, stronger, lose weight, or is it just another way for people to consume info without acting on it

How will AI integration in fitness apps help end users

How creating your environment helps

Why “pre-deciding” is powerful

Having grown up overweight, how did Cody change to keep the weight off

How “borrowing confidence” works

Why keeping promises to ourselves matters

How your narratives can help or hurt you

The biggest mistakes people make when tracking their food

And much more
