In this episode, I sit down with one of my all-time favorite clients, Joseph Clough. You may know him from his wildly successful hypnotherapy app with more than 3,000 audio sessions… but what most people don’t realize is that Joseph struggled for years to build the business side of his coaching. He was charging low prices, trying to help everyone, and wondering why his impact—and income—weren’t matching the quality of his work. Everything changed when he made one simple shift. He stopped trying to serve the entire world… and started serving the people he could help at the highest...

In this episode, I sit down with my good friend Jesse Elder for one of the most raw, unfiltered, and important conversations I’ve had in a long time. So many brilliant coaches struggle to build a profitable business—not because they lack skill or heart, but because the game has changed. And most people are still trying to win using a rulebook that stopped working years ago. Jesse and I get into all of it. Highlights from the Conversation • The “authenticity apocalypse” Why AI is going to wipe out every coach who’s faking it—and why the real, grounded, embodied coaches will rise...

You know what I love about real entrepreneurs? They don't make noise - they make moves. Meet Gulliver Giles and Leesa Cosgrove.

After building my $100 million coaching company, I'm sharing the 20 books that provided the mental framework for my success. Out of over 1,000 books I consumed during my entrepreneurial journey, these are the only ones that actually moved the needle. In this deep-dive episode, I'm giving you my complete ranking system and explaining why mindset work isn't just "nice to have" – it's the difference between entrepreneurs who...
info_outlineMeet Iddo Tal – a coach who went from struggling to enroll clients to consistently signing $5K+ premium clients with confidence.
Look, I get it. You're probably grinding it out for pennies on the dollar while watching other coaches land those big-ticket clients.
Iddo was EXACTLY where you are right now. Undercharging. Overdelivering. Hustling his ass off just to scrape together enough clients to pay the bills.
But then something clicked. Iddo made ONE simple shift that changed his entire business overnight.
He stopped playing small. He packaged his expertise into a high-ticket program. And he started charging what he was actually worth - $5K+ per client.
The result? Everything transformed. His confidence skyrocketed. His clients started getting BETTER results. And his business finally became predictable and profitable.
In this raw, unfiltered 34-minute conversation, Iddo pulls back the curtain on EXACTLY how he did it:
✅ The mindset breakthrough that shattered his scarcity thinking forever
✅ Why charging premium prices actually made his clients MORE successful
✅ How he conquered the fear and self-doubt that was keeping him stuck
✅ The exact system he uses to attract dream clients on autopilot
✅ His no-BS advice for coaches still trapped in the "time-for-dollars" hamster wheel
If you've been telling yourself that high-ticket coaching "isn't for you" or that your clients "can't afford it," Iddo's story is going to destroy every limiting belief you have.
This is proof of what happens when you stop playing it safe and start building the business you actually deserve.
