Episode #986: Brittany Wilson: What a Low-Tech Entrepreneur Learned Building an App in the Agentic Era
Could AI actually make you a better coach without replacing you?

What You’ll Hear In This Episode: Why human connection isn't just a “nice to have” and why no AI agent will ever replicate what happens between two people in a coaching relationship. The reason that getting some foundational knowledge of AI matters more right now than jumping on every new tool that comes out. Why AI is a great place to start asking questions but not the place to stop. How you don't have to be an early adopter, but why waiting to educate yourself on AI could cost you more than you think. The ways that Loop Up fills the gap between coaching sessions, helps clients maintain momentum, and creates an evidence stream that makes taking the next step feel less daunting. How Brittany built Loop Up as a self-described low-tech person using AI and why she still treats AI like a brand new intern. LINKS: Loop Up’s by Gary Chapman Join The Coaching Jungle Facebook Group!

What You’ll Hear In This Episode: How the NeuroSelf Mastery Program uses neuroscience to transform the way coaches understand themselves and connect with others. Why knowing how your brain works is the real key to creating lasting change. What mental looping actually is, why your brain gets stuck in it, and which network you need to access to finally break the cycle. How brain network switching works and how to use it to get out of your own way. What meta awareness really means (hint: nothing to do with Zuckerberg) and how Susan uses it to stay calm, present, and connected during live events. The two simple things anyone can start doing today to slow down and tap into their intuition and inner wisdom. How learning neuroscience has changed the way both Susan and Rei coach, lead, and show up in conversations with others. Why the program is built around helping coaches find agency and choice, plus how the tools translate directly into your work with clients.

Episode #981: Lance C. Greenberg: The Scaling Strategy That Starts With Better Leads, Not Bigger Budgets
What's really behind the drop in Facebook ad lead quality, and more importantly, what can coaches do about it? Today's episode features Lance C. Greenberg, scaling strategist and Facebook ads expert, who joins Marc to break down why most coaches are attracting the wrong leads. He also reveals what Meta's AI is actually looking for, and why having a playbook could be the difference between wasted ad spend and a system that actually works!

Episode #980: Marc’s Reading List That Covers Mindset, Power, Beating Burnout (And More)
Looking for your next great read? In this episode, Marc shares five (okay, six!) books that have shaped how he thinks about mindset, power, and productivity, spanning over 60 years of publication. From a rock star's surprising business wisdom to a productivity formula that could save you from burnout, these are the books Marc says are worth your time!

But hurry, being a small team their spots are limited, and don’t forget to mention that Marc sent you! What You’ll Hear In This Episode: The “Robinson Crusoe” lesson from one book that explains why people stay stuck in bad relationships, jobs, and businesses long after they know better. Why one specific book is the most highlighted, dog-eared book in Marc's entire collection and what made it so impactful to him. The surgeon analogy that reframes what it really means to be "ruthless but not evil" when making tough decisions. What a famous rockstar’s book taught Marc about treating yourself like a business, and why so many coaches resist that mindset. A formula from one of his favourite books for high-quality work, and why intensity of focus matters more than hours logged. The "one major initiative" strategy Marc got from a book that helps fight burnout, and how Marc restructured his own calendar around it. Why Marc no longer forces himself to finish a bad book, and what changed his mind on this over the years.

The real reasons Marc avoids "disguised selling" and vague small talk. A lesson from Marc’s past life in real estate on how one agent successfully listed notoriously difficult FSBOs (For Sale By Owners) by leading with value.

For coaches looking for a fresh way to inject a burst of revenue into their businesses without the fatigue of a traditional launch, this episode dives into a unique strategy: Skool auctions. Joining Marc today is Peter Lloyd-Lister, who helps coaches run high-energy auctions inside Skool communities.

In this episode, Peter explains how he’s helped coaches generate 6-figure results with Skool groups of fewer than 200 members, and why the direct messaging power of Skool makes it the ultimate platform for this model compared to traditional Facebook groups. The conversation also covers a zero-risk way to bring an auctioneer onto a coaching team and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the auction Peter and Marc are running together inside the brand-new .

The technical setup and cost of Skool, and why it’s arguably the most user-friendly community platform for coaches today.

Why your auction prize doesn't have to be your core offer and how to use the backend to sell your high-ticket programs. The reasons that the strongest auctions are built on community value and the dangers of treating your group as a ghost town between events. Real-world case studies from Peter of Skool auctions generating 6-figure revenue with groups as small as 180 members. Why Peter follows a 43-step checklist to maximize revenue and how to leverage an auctioneer with zero upfront risk.

Episode #966: Overcoming Imposter Syndrome and Finding Your Voice with Matt Mawhinney of PodAssist
Ever felt like you’re waiting for the "perfect" moment to launch your podcast, only to watch months (or years) slip by? Today, Matt Mawhinney of PodAssist steps out from behind the scenes to reveal how he launched his own show in less than a week, and gives his expert podcast tips and strategies from over a decade in the podcast trenches. If you’re tired of the imposter syndrome and the "podfade" trap, Matt is breaking down the exact sustainable systems he uses to build authority, ditch the need for a million-dollar studio, and finally get your message out to the world. It’s time to stop performing for others…start walking the walk! What You’ll Hear In This Episode: How Matt went from "never in a million years" wanting to host a show to having his podcast live on all platforms in less than a week. Why waiting for the "perfect" setup, or re-listening to your own episodes, is the fastest way to kill your podcasting momentum. The staggering statistics on how many podcasts quit within the first 8 episodes and how Matt’s sustainable approach keeps shows running for the long haul. Why he chose the solo format for his own podcast to establish authority, and why he warns against listening too much to the opinions of others. The key reasons Matt advises against recording 20 episodes before even launching, and how to avoid punching yourself out in “Round One.” A reminder that you don't need a professional-grade studio to sound great, and the tremendous opportunity that exists for experts to launch podcasts right now. How joining the right community, and specifically the Coaching Jungle VIP was the catalyst that shifted Matt from a behind-the-scenes expert to public-facing creator. Why sharing the episodes you appear on isn't just "nice to do" - it's an essential part of podcasting etiquette that helps both the host and the guest.

Episode #963: Ian Gatzke: How AI Companions Solve the 4% Course Completion Problem!
In this episode of Natural Born Coaches, Marc interviews Ian Gatzky, the founder of Implement AI, to discuss how AI helps coaches improve client engagement and completion rates in their programs. What You’ll Hear In This Episode: - The brutal truth about course completion: Only 4% of people who purchase an online course actually finish it … a staggering problem that affects client results, testimonials, and your business growth. - What companion GPTs actually are: Custom AI models trained on your coaching content that guide clients through doing the work in your programs … - Real business impact: How one of Ian’s clients condensed her 12-week program down to 8 weeks using companion GPTs, allowing her to run 6 cohorts per year instead of 4 - adding $60K in annual revenue. - What AI should NOT be doing: Ian draws a clear line - don't give AI decision-making power for things like pricing, discounts, or critical business decisions. That's not what these tools are for. - The ripple effect of completion: Higher completion rates lead to better testimonials, happier clients, repeat business, referrals, and customers who are more likely to buy your next program. - Why coaches need this: Every coach Ian's worked with got into coaching to help people - but you can't help people if they don't do the work.
