In this solo episode, I break down how to separate yourself in the coaching interview process and land your next job. From getting your foot in the door to preparing for Zoom and on-campus interviews, I walk through the strategies that make the process simpler, clearer, and far more effective.

I cover how recruiting, interviewing, and sales are deeply connected, what you should be researching before every interview, and how to communicate your value with confidence. I also explain why every coach should build a Portfolio Packet, what to include, and how to use it as a true separator in the hiring process. 

This is a short, practical episode for coaches who want to show up prepared, stand out in interviews, and position themselves as the obvious choice.
