About this episode
In this episode of The AI Advantage, host Solomon Williams sits down with Alex King-Harris, Founder and CEO of Evolve Well, for a refreshing conversation at the intersection of AI, wellness, and conscious leadership.
Alex shares his unconventional journey from jazz musician to wellness-tech entrepreneur, and how his early work in music therapy evolved into building digital platforms that support mental health at scale. Through ventures like Yogi Tunes and now Evolve Well, Alex has focused on one core belief: technology should deepen human connection - not replace it.
Together, Solomon and Alex explore how AI can empower coaches, support self-awareness, and enhance personal growth - while still honoring rest, creativity, and emotional well-being. They also unpack the realities of startup life, the importance of reflection during pivots, and why sustainable success requires moving beyond grind culture.

- How AI can support wellness and mental health without dehumanizing care
- The role of music, creativity, and self-awareness in scalable coaching
