Stu and I delve into the various aspects of coaching and the fitness industry in this episode. 

We debate the problems we see arising from dysfunctional dynamics in the pursuit of self-improvement and how the hyper-focus on self-development and "biohacking" protocols can lead to alienation, loneliness, and disconnection. 

It ended up being more of a coaching podcast than intended, but we share some different approaches to coaching, the importance of maintaining client autonomy, and the potential pitfalls of avoidance in the pursuit of enlightenment.
