69 Day Giving Challenge – Day 11

Today is another gem donated by ANOTHER generous Mahopac person (there are even more to come)!  Today it’s Cathryn Iannotta Vincentz.  Cathy reached out to me via Facebook to see if she could give away free yoga classes. It’s pretty incredible, but Putnam Yoga is giving a free 5 class card.   We were emailing back and forth trying to iron out the details when Cathy sent me this note this morning:

Hey Chris! Putnam Yoga is in:) We’d like to give a free 5 class card! The schedule for classes is on the website www.putnamyoga.com or they can contact me directly cathryn.vincentz@gmail.com. so excited!

Here’s the rub – I’m hijacking this gift and not opening it up to the public.  I’m passing this one along to my lovely mother Pat Dessi who I think is certainly deserving of some alone time where she can focus her mind and body.  So there you have it – Day 11 of the 69 Day Challenge is complete.  I texted Mom to see if she would be interested. She didn’t reply immediately, so I called her.  When she answered the phone she said “YES!!!!”

Thank you Cathy, and a special heartfelt thank you to Putnam Yoga.

Namaste.

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.
