Are you using AI, or is it using you? Most people don't realize they are already interacting with AI every day, but few entrepreneurs are using it to actually drive revenue and buy back their time.

Today, Coach Sapphire Starr talks with leadership expert and AI strategist Kyle McCloud about building a sustainable, automated business. Kyle breaks down his "intern" philosophy—treating AI as a capable but fallible assistant that needs your "Pilot" leadership to succeed.

Key Takeaways:

• The Core AI: Why you need a foundational tool (like Claude or ChatGPT) to act as your business architect.
• The 24-Hour Pivot: How Kyle used AI to prep for a complex data analytics class in less than a day.
• Human-Centric Automation: Strategies to ensure your brand stays authentic and your voice doesn't get lost in the code.
• The "Blind Spot" Prompt: A powerful exercise to help you find where you’re sabotaging your own growth.

The Soul Shift Sessions podcast episode, "I'm Leavin' Here with Sumthin'," features hosts Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud discussing the mantra "I'm leaving here with something" in the context of love, life, and legacy.

"I'm Leaving Here with Something" as a Mantra: Inspired by a Denzel Washington quote, this phrase has become a guiding principle for the hosts, signifying the intention to gain value from every experience, whether it's a new connection, a lesson learned, or a personal transformation.

Leaving with Lessons: The hosts emphasize that even if an experience doesn't yield the desired outcome, it always offers a lesson. They discuss the importance of humility in acknowledging one's role in difficult situations and learning from them.

Intentionality and Expectations: The conversation highlights the power of setting intentions and having expectations for every endeavor, viewing time and money as valuable assets that should yield a return on investment, whether financial or experiential.

Personal Stories of "Leaving with Something": Coach Kyle shares an anecdote from a Lisa Nichols conference where Coach Sapphire's proactive networking ensured they both left with valuable connections. Coach Sapphire recounts a solo trip to Cuba, where an unexpected encounter led to a new friendship and attending a wedding, illustrating how unplanned experiences can still lead to profound takeaways.

The Journey of Transformation: Coach Sapphire reflects on her 10-year journey of personal growth, likening it to a "rebirth" and emphasizing that transformation is a continuous process with multiple "wow" moments rather than a single destination. They conclude by encouraging listeners to consider what they are willing to "bake" over time to achieve their future dreams and goals.

If you had to choose just one—energy, integrity, or intelligence—which would it be?

In this Soul Shift Session, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle unpack how these three qualities shape everything from your relationships to your results. We explore what happens when intelligence outpaces integrity, when energy fades without purpose, and why your choice reveals more about your values than you might think.

This episode isn’t about choosing “right or wrong”—it’s about self-awareness, balance, and how to cultivate the trait that fuels your next level.

We all have stories we tell ourselves—about who we are, what we deserve, and why things happen the way they do. But what if those stories aren’t true?

In this Soul Shift Session, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle unpack how the narratives we repeat can become invisible chains—keeping us stuck in struggle, fear, and self-doubt.

From childhood beliefs to cultural conditioning, we explore how to identify the stories that no longer serve you and rewrite them with power, purpose, and peace.

If you’ve ever found yourself asking, “Why does this keep happening to me?” this conversation will help you see how you might be the author of your own limitations—and how to finally flip the script.

In this real, unfiltered Soul Shift Session, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle dive into what we call “raw dogging life” — going through life without protection, without a plan, and without the tools for success.

We unpack why so many people wake up every day winging it — no vision, no strategy, no support system — and how that’s leaving them exposed to burnout, broken dreams, and cycles of survival.

This episode is your wake-up call to suit up with intention, discipline, and purpose. 💡

We’re talking about creating your own life “protection plan” — mentally, emotionally, financially, and spiritually — so you can thrive instead of just survive.

This episode of the Soul Shift Sessions podcast, titled "What's Your SOUL Purpose," is the season two finale. The hosts, Coach Sapphire Starr and Coach Kyle McCloud, discuss the concept of soul purpose, self-evolution, and the importance of supporting others.

Key topics covered:

• The Nature of Self and Evolution: The hosts emphasize that individuals are constantly evolving and may never fully "know" themselves, as desires and wants change over time. They discuss the idea that life's "contrast" (experiencing what one doesn't like) helps in discovering what one truly desires.
• Defining Soul Purpose: Coach Sapphire defines the soul as the essence or spirit, the "fire that burns" inside, and views her soul purpose as living an unapologetically authentic life in freedom and pursuing her passions, with a significant part being service to others. Coach Kyle defines the soul as the innermost part of oneself that is always seeking to align with desired life outcomes. Negative emotions serve as indicators of being out of alignment with one's soul.
• The Importance of Supporting Others: Coach Sapphire shares that helping loved ones become better versions of themselves, navigate situations, or providing physical labor makes her soul feel good. Coach Kyle discusses the importance of empowering those in his intimate relationships, like his wife and children, to pursue their goals without disempowering them, contrasting this with past experiences where his successes were met with resistance.
• Mindset and Physical Health: Coach Kyle shares his journey of losing weight, highlighting that a change in mindset about food and paying attention to nutritional labels (specifically sugar and carbs) came before the physical results. He elaborates on how 4 grams of sugar equals a teaspoon and the hidden sugars in common foods like ketchup.
• The Soul and the Physical Body: The hosts draw a parallel between taking care of one's physical body as the "house for the soul" and the deterioration of a house when no one lives in it. They stress the imperative of understanding what drives the soul for longevity, referencing studies on centenarians in "blue zones" who have a strong sense of purpose and community.

In this episode of Soul Shift Sessions we have a special guest. Minesh Baxi, an engineer turned author, who made a bold decision to design a life on his own terms after hearing the song "Cats in a Cradle." He chose to leave a traditional career path to work from home, homeschool his children, and prioritize freedom, learning, and family. He has been married for 33 years and has two children, Macy and Sahil, both of whom are entrepreneurs. Minesh has also authored 12 books.

Minesh shares his personal journey, explaining how he struggled in his job for 12 years despite his credentials and eventually lost his contract. This led him to ask tough questions about his future, realizing he didn't want to continue in that path. He discusses how he made the decision in 2000 to go full-time into speaking and coaching.

A central theme of the discussion is the concept of courage versus conformity. Minesh emphasizes that courage is essential to ask tough questions and take necessary action steps, breaking free from societal norms and expectations. He states that unless one has courage, they will never be willing to take the action step needed to transform their life. The co-hosts further elaborate on how courage is developed and the importance of reaching a "dead end" where one realizes that their current path is not leading them to their desired life. The "three C's" for achieving success are identified as courage, coach, and community, with a fourth "C" being consistency.

Minesh also shares an anecdote about his family's numerous visits to Disney World, explaining that it was a deliberate choice to create memories and provide an anchoring "happiest place on the planet" for his children. This also serves as a metaphor for designing a life you don't need a vacation from.

The conversation further delves into the definition of success, with Minesh defining it as having a close-knit family, raising children with his values, and empowering them with skills and options to live life on their own terms. The co-hosts add their perspectives, focusing on continuous personal growth and becoming a person who can easily overcome yesterday's challenges. The discussion also touches upon "quantum shifts" and the importance of paying the "price" for success, which includes willingness, preparation, energy, motivation, resources, and skills.
