FBU 615: James Wedmore on AI, a Trust Recession + How to Stand Out Online

In this episode, Jill sits down with her business mentor, James Wedmore, for a wide-ranging conversation about what it really takes to build a sustainable online business. James challenges listeners to stop identifying as "just a coach" and start thinking like a true business owner—one who asks not only what they want from their business, but what the business needs from them. He shares his origin story of launching Business by Design from a simple beta program with 25 people, now 60+ million dollars in sales later, and breaks down his three-phase approach to business growth anchored around a tested, irresistible offer. James also shares his opinion on the role of AI in business, raising concerns about entrepreneurs outsourcing both their voice and their strategic thinking to tools like ChatGPT, creating what he calls "the great average." The real opportunity lies in doubling down on human skills, particularly direct-response copywriting and authentic self-expression. For more reasons than just one, this moment in the internet space is a massive opening for anyone willing to do the hard, meaningful work.    Join James's FREE Business Breakthrough Experience here!   Connect with James on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jameswedmore/       Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Get on the Waitlist for Strategy Lab: https://jillfitfree.com/strategy-lab-wait-list/   Catch the replay for Low Ticket Revolution! https://www.jillfitprograms.com/Low-Ticket-Revolution     Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.
