Episode Quotes:
What does the Managing Happiness program do?
We help people to figure out their personal mission, vision and values, and their goals. It's basically applying business principles to your personal life.
Why did you build this program?
My wife went through breast cancer. She's doing great today, but this was a bigger wake-up moment for me. I basically envisioned myself on my deathbed, looking back at my life, thinking, did I do what I was supposed to do? Did I have the impact that I want to have? To live the life that I personally consider a life well-lived? Back then, I was highly focused on just for-profit business, and I realized that I want to have more impact in the world. And this was a long road to figuring out what it really is that I want to do.
Parting thoughts for coaches or coaching businesses that are listening
Do cohort-based coaching—you can impact more people's lives. It's not that reliant on you. You can even make more money. Make it more accessible because it's cheaper for people, but you make more money in the long run. And just building communities. And it's more about the human experience. Everything is AI. Everything will be not human anymore. So, I think bringing people together is just a beautiful thing. Hence, cohort-based coaching.
