7 Powerful Questions

Recently I started to listen to an audiobook called Mastering the Seven Decisions.  In the audiobook, the author Andy Andrews lays out 7 questions that he has leveraged to gain the most valuable information from the wisest people he’s met.   I’ve listed them here.  This Thanksgiving thinks about these questions, and maybe ask them of someone you respect. The answers will surprise you.

  1. What’s the first thing you do when you’re depressed?
  2. What’s the most important decision you’ve ever made in your life?
  3. What’s the worst decision you’ve ever made in your life?
  4. If you had to give an 18 yr old one specific piece of wisdom what would it be?
  5. What’s the smartest thing your parents ever did?
  6. What’s the last thing you do before your go to bed?
  7. What difference did someone make in your life as a child?

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.
