Have you ever thought hiring a coach was a waste? Lon Stroschein did, until ...

Join Lon as he sat (back) down with his first coach, Brendan Burns, to discuss his transformation from a public company executive to a lifestyle engineer and career coach on a mission to inspire others. This candid conversation touches on Lon's journey of leaving a successful career, the power of LinkedIn, the importance of taking action before you're ready, and how unexpected life events such as death, divorce, and mental health challenges have shaped us.

Together, they share personal experiences and insights that offer valuable advice for listeners seeking to make changes in their lives -- while at the top of their game.

Brendan shares his story of turning down a job opportunity in Europe to become a successful coach, and how that trade has shaped his life. Including his launch into podcasting with guests like Matthew McConaughey, Jack Canfield, and many others.

This discussion underscores the significance of authenticity and overcoming perfectionism. Brendan's experience of transitioning from a successful career to starting his own coaching business will inspire those grappling with their fear of taking the first step.

Listen in as Lon and Brendan tackle the conflict between ego and image, the impact of ego on our true selves, and how our desired image often stems from low self-esteem and a need for love and attention. They underscore the importance of embracing our true selves to find our purpose and fulfillment.

This conversation encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives and make changes for a better future. Don't miss out on this empowering conversation.
