It’s important to have a support network of friends, family, and colleagues who can provide emotional support, advice, and encouragement. By reaching out and building connections, you’ll have a network of support to help you through tough times.
  4. Practice self-care. Taking care of yourself is crucial for maintaining resilience and adaptability. This means getting enough sleep, exercising, eating well, and taking time for yourself to recharge and relax. By prioritizing self-care, you’ll be better able to handle the challenges that come your way.

In conclusion, staying resilient and relevant through challenging times requires a combination of embracing change, continuous learning, building a support network, and practicing self-care.

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.
