    What’s in this episode:
    If your agency’s production has stalled, the problem isn’t effort—it’s your coaching system. In this solo episode, Michael Weaver breaks down why traditional coaching models are broken, why listening to endless sales calls is killing your time, and how AI is fundamentally changing the future of leadership, accountability, and performance.

    This episode pulls back the curtain on how top agencies are using AI to coach smarter, move faster, and scale production without burning out managers or team leads. You’ll hear real-world examples of how AI-driven coaching creates immediate improvement, stronger accountability, and measurable production gains—without role-playing, micromanaging, or sitting through hours of calls.

    If you’re a manager, team lead, or agency owner who wants higher production without adding more to your plate, this episode is required listening.

    [00:00] Why listening to sales calls is officially outdated
    [01:00] What AI coaching actually replaces (and what it doesn’t)
    [02:30] The real reason agents hire coaches in the first place
    [03:45] Why peer-to-peer role play doesn’t work
    [05:00] How AI delivers unbiased, data-driven coaching
    [06:30] Coaching the root cause instead of surface objections
    [07:30] Real example: from 250 scores to closed business
    [08:30] How one manager got 3.5 hours per day back
    [09:45] Why AI makes you a better leader—not obsolete
    [10:45] The future of coaching, accountability, and production
