Hayden Humphrey is a life coach who helps uplift people and aid them in taking control of their life. Once a people-pleaser and unpassionate about his corporate roles in life, he dove deep into his internal to shake up the “foundation of his house” and make a “script” that he was passionate about living.

As Hayden mentions, we were all given a set of scripts  to live by as children. You learned about the world and about your place in it - without even questioning if it was right for you.

So, in helping himself, Hayden is now a coach that causes others to stop meandering with obscurity through life and start questioning, in order to truly start living.

Enjoy our depth-filled conversation!

Koby Wheeler had it in him since he was young…..he embodied what an entrepreneur was before it was ever popular. Lemonade stands. Selling doughnuts. Garage sales. The full nine yards.

Growing up, Koby found his way by making his own way. The path of trial and error and figure-it-out-as-you-go, he honed his skills and mindset to become one in which he can operate effectively, efficiently, and provide great creative value to others - from TEDx designs in high school, to personal ideations and creations, to eventually creating two of his own agencies, KW Branding + Design and Lobster Ferret.

The former focuses on branding and design; the latter on digital marketing.

Take a deep dive with us as we get into the full journey of Koby Wheeler and learn many things on design, creative, and more.
