One Dollar Difference: Donate Today to Support Adrian Dessi, and the Fight Against ALS

This fall I’m running in the ING NYC Marathon. My first marathon! I’m running to raise money to support the battle against ALS. More importantly, at my core, I’m doing to honor my father – Adrian Dessi.

So here I stand asking you to help support me while I run. Support me while I raise awareness. Support the Dessi family. Support Adrian.

A man who never lets anyone down. A man who always delivers for us.

Now it’s our turn to deliver for him.

Please make sure that you will never have to ask someone else to raise your grandchild into your arms, or raise money for you.

Please follow this link to donate today to fight this horrible disease. Thank you.

ALS, ALS awareness, NYC marathon

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.
