Description

In this episode, I'm joined by my friend and colleague Ankush Jain – coach, teacher, speaker, founder of Coaching Career School, and author of the new book Awakening the Coach Within.

We talk about the real journey behind building a coaching practice: the early days, the missteps, the breakthroughs, and the insights that shaped everything that came after. This is a very open, very human conversation about what it actually takes to do this work in a grounded, sustainable way.

In this conversation, we explore:

  • What the early years of a coaching business really look like

  • Why seeing coaching as a calling changes everything

  • How generosity plays a surprising role in client creation

  • Why trust and relationship will matter more than ever in the years ahead

  • The courage and clarity behind Ankush's new book

If you're a coach — new or experienced — this is a conversation worth hearing.
