Join us, as we kick things off with our usual banter and personal updates. from conquering the week's challenges to embracing the quirks of our podcast, like our decision to forego video (trust us, it's for the best).

Listen in as we peel back the curtain on the less discussed aspects of personal development, particularly within the coaching industry. From our reflections on starting a coaching practice to examining the tension between making a living and maintaining the purity of the coaching intention, this conversation is an honest exploration of the industry's challenges. We confront the harsh realities coaches face, from the allure of passive income to the pressures of upholding a façade of infallibility, and discuss how a CEO who embraced his weaknesses provide lessons in transparency and strength.

Hear our candid thoughts on the balance between personal development, achieving goals, and maintaining mental health. We discuss the potential pitfalls of following someone else's success blueprint and the importance of finding your 'why' in business. So tune in for a thought-provoking session that promises to entertain, inform, and perhaps even inspire a little self-reflection.
