Episode 173: Nate Bailey on Leadership

Today we were joined by Taeler De Haes to talk about the business of business coaching, what to do, what not to do, what’s common, and what’s rare.
This was probably the best episode we have done on this topic. Taeler tells it like it really is, she doesn’t pitch or sell, and she opens up about how tragedy in her own life fueled an obsession with building her business and how relentless hours of hard work and saying “no” led her to a life of saying “yes” today.
