In this episode, Larry sits down with Erin Hendry, an Active Life Professional working in Sweden, to unpack how she became a trusted referral partner inside a medical practice—without credentials, posturing, or trying to play doctor. Erins explains how a simple, human outreach on LinkedIn led to a clinic visit, a face-to-face conversation, and ultimately an ongoing professional relationship built on shared values and mutual respect.

The conversation goes deep into what actually earned trust: not proof, certifications, or selling—but clarity of thinking, empathy, and the ability to see the physician as a person first. Erin shares how her coaching approach complements medical care, especially for patients seeking more than medication or short-term relief. The discussion highlights why coaching fills a gap that even high-quality healthcare systems can’t always address.

Finally, the episode zooms out to examine Erin's business model, boundaries, pricing, and mindset. From working premium hours in a socialized healthcare culture to overcoming insecurity around income and identity, this episode offers a rare, honest look at what sustainable, values-driven coaching actually looks like in practice. If you’re a coach wondering how to differentiate, collaborate with medical professionals, or build a career that doesn’t burn you out—this episode is essential listening.
