Can AI improve your quality of life, not just your productivity?

Keynote speaker Amy Jo Martin explores leadership, AI, and human-centered decision-making. In this solo episode of the Why Not Now? Podcast, Amy shares early field notes from The Reinvention Experiment, a year-long AI self-experiment exploring vitality, clarity, and what it means to live well and lead effectively in an AI-driven world.

Rather than biohacking or performance optimization, Amy introduces the concept of Quantified Soul, combining hard data like sleep tracking, screen time, biometrics, and wearable data with qualitative inputs including journaling, emotional regulation, gratitude, and relationship check-ins.

Key insights include why "a wobble is data, not drama," how journaling with AI can help regulate the nervous system, and why cognitive load often creates more stress than conflict. Amy also breaks down what she's tracking, the AI prompts she uses daily, and how AI can surface blind spots instead of reinforcing existing narratives.

This episode is intentionally raw and unfinished. You're stepping inside the experiment itself and exploring how AI can support better decision-making, reflection, and long-term fulfillment, not just efficiency.

What happens when you turn your life into a living laboratory? In this special episode, the host becomes the guest. Amy Jo Martin sits down with Sam Gooder to reveal her next big leap: The Reinvention Experiment, a yearlong, open-source quest to rethink time, wealth, wellbeing, and passion by putting herself inside a data-driven Petri dish.

After two decades of entrepreneurial wins, burnout cycles, and reinvention after reinvention, Amy Jo felt an unmistakable signal: she was craving aliveness again. A moment on a plane—and one brutally honest "super prompt" to AI—confirmed it was time. Now she's shifting from expert mode to student mode. Listeners get a front-row seat.

Amy Jo shares how she's tracking everything from sleep scores and screen time to joy, relationships, and biological age. She outlines her personal board of directors, her collaboration with AI as analyst and therapist, and why she's willing to publish her metrics publicly at amyjomartin.com. Nothing staged. No veneer. Just real data, real feelings, and real experimentation in motion.

The Reinvention Experiment isn't a stunt. It's a blueprint in progress for anyone questioning their relationship with work, time, relevance, or what "success" even means anymore. Amy Jo opens up about parenting shifts, identity shifts, pausing major business lines, and the fear of becoming "irrelevant"—and why she's doing it anyway.

If you've been craving a new map for your next chapter, this episode offers a rare behind-the-scenes look at what it looks like to create one from scratch.

What do elite athletes, top CEOs, and unforgettable teams really have in common? On this week's Why Not Now? with Amy Jo Martin, 12-time New York Times bestselling author and award-winning keynote speaker Don Yaeger pulls back the curtain on how world-class performers think, lead, and compound small wins into big outcomes.

Don shares the spark behind his Corporate Competitor Podcast and the research that started it all: a striking link between women in the C-suite and sports participation. He then unpacks a powerful interviewing framework built on three moves: know your audience, find real common ground, and ask the question only preparation earns. That approach led to one of the most human stories you will ever hear about Michael Jordan and the fuel behind his relentless drive.

Inside the episode:

• A simple annual exercise to upgrade your "inner circle" and protect your energy.
  
  

• How Coach K rebuilt USA Basketball's purpose before a gold-medal run, and how to create "feel it" moments that bond any team.
  
  

• The Savannah Bananas blueprint for reinventing a stale customer experience by solving the ten things fans hate most.
  
  

• A practical take on AI for writers and leaders: use it as a high-level editor and coach to tighten thinking, not as a crutch.
  
  

If you want a playbook for getting 1% better every day, building teams that care, and leading with courage and curiosity, this episode will light a fire.
