Episode 77: How Coaches Can Fail Their Clients   Today the guys from the Every Calorie Counts podcast took the reins on our podcast and we had a round table discussion about the ways coaches can fail their clients or themselves.   Coaching is a tough business.  For every coach who creates an Instagram account there are 10 who quit due to burnout or lack of income. There are an infinite number of ways you can fail quickly or fail over time.  We hope that this episode brings awareness to the ins and outs of this industry for coaches and if you are a client, understand that we are human too, just trying to do our best to make a positive impact. 🏆 THE EXCELLENCE CARTEL 🏆 Follow us on Instagram: scoobyprep1_ifbbpro - Jason Theobald firstcalloutfitness - Jeffrey Su jeffunbreakableblack - Jeff Black the_excellence_cartel - The Excellence Cartel IG Page #theexcellencecartel www.physiqueeducationcollective.com
