Your support, enthusiasm, and efforts in sharing the book have played a crucial role in reaching a milestone that’s both surprising and deeply meaningful. It’s been a real joy to reconnect with so many of you through this process.

This book’s journey to success has been a collective effort. It’s heartening to see our community grow to over 10,000+ strong, a community. I’m deeply thankful for your engagement and for being a part of this experience.

In the coming weeks, I’ll be releasing an additional series of books. The first three installments of the Keep Up the Good Work series will include

1. Keep Up the Good Work
2. Keep Up the Good Work for Jobseekers
3. Keep Up the Good Work for Teenagers.

The last of those books is very near and dear to my heart as I’m the father of two wonderful teenage girls—Olivia, 13, and Talia, 15.

Speaking of which, today I sent Talia off to France with her high school classmates, and tomorrow, I’m taking Olivia to the women’s NCAA basketball sweet 16 in Albany.

Please let me know if you want to learn more about how you can leverage ChatGPT for Profit. You can set up a time to chat with me here. 

Keep up the good work,

Chris

Who’s the Coach?

I’m Chris Dessi.

Tech entrepreneur. Author. Talking head.
But before any of that—I’m a builder.

I’ve spent the last 20+ years helping companies grow:
From dot-com chaos to SaaS scale-ups to AI-powered everything.
I’ve sold software across continents. Closed $32M in deals using AI.
Built and exited businesses. Bombed a few too. All of it made me sharper.

Today, I run Torque AI, a marketing automation platform built for the 99%.
Small business owners. Solopreneurs. Operators with too much to do and not enough support.
We give them AI superpowers—without the hype, the jargon, or the BS.

I’m also the founder of AI Summit NYC, where real business owners come to learn how to actually use AI to drive revenue.

When I’m not building, I’m writing books, speaking on national TV, and coaching execs through reinvention—with a baseball bat in one hand and a meditation app in the other.

I believe reinvention is our greatest asset.
I believe AI isn’t the threat—it’s the test.
And I believe if you’re not adapting, you’re eroding.

Let’s build something that matters.
