RadReads​ - Do you need a coach?

$169,300. That’s a lot of money.

It's also how much I’ve spent on coaching.

These 12 coaches have ranged from copywriting to a personal philosopher to assisted psilocybin journeys.

They've made me a better entrepreneur, husband and dad.

And they’ve helped me find a deep sense of life satisfaction.

This week, on a solo episode of The Examined Life Podcast, I ask the question:

My favorite quote: Coaching is a journey, not a destination

Why this episode matters to me

My coaching journey is a weird one.

I initially wanted a coach because “every other high-performer had one.”

Hey, you gotta meet people where they are!

Now, I plan on having a coach for the rest of my life.

Why?

Because life’s gonna happen.

And I’ll always need someone to help me navigate the stories swirling around my head.

That's my personal path to peace.
