Confession: I was completely resistant to AI for coaches until I discovered how to use it as a collaboration tool instead of a replacement. Now I'm saving 2-4 hours per week using strategic AI implementation, and my mind is officially blown. In this episode, I share my complete journey from AI skeptic to AI collaborator, including: The 3 biggest AI mistakes coaches make (I made them all!) My 2-week experiment testing ChatGPT, Claude, and Gemini How I created 5 AI "specialists" for different business functions The golden rule: Great input = Great output Why AI collaboration beats replacement every time I reveal my 5 AI specialists: KPI Analyzer, Funnel Optimizer, Ad Strategist, Content Creator, and PR Machine - each trained with specific knowledge about my business and voice. Most importantly, this isn't about becoming robotic. It's about becoming more efficient so you can focus on what matters: serving your clients. My honest assessment? Coaches who resist AI may find themselves left behind while competitors get 3-10 times more done in the same timeframe. Ready to implement AI strategies that amplify your authenticity?

Tired of the client acquisition rollercoaster? My guest Adam Schaeuble from Podcasting Business School just blew my mind with a strategy that made him $6,000 in 5 days from a podcast series he didn't even promote initially. We're talking about limited series podcasts - and no, this isn't another "private podcast" or lead magnet. This is a completely different approach that leverages SEO and organic discovery to bring qualified prospects directly to your door. This isn't about being on every platform or creating endless content. It's about strategic simplicity that actually works. Perfect for coaches who: Are exhausted from the content creation hamster wheel Want to build genuine authority in their space Are ready to serve at the highest level Understand that simple doesn't mean easy Connect with Adam: Podcast: Podcasting Business School Limited Series: "Podcast Monetization Tips" Connect with Amanda: Instagram: @awalkmyway Limited Series: "How to Find Clients: Tips for Coaches and Entrepreneurs"

Today is a REALLY big day! After months of teasing and planning, I'm finally announcing my major surprise: a brand new limited series podcast called "How to Find Clients: Tips for Coaches and Entrepreneurs." This isn't just another podcast - it's a bingeable, step-by-step audio course designed to solve the #1 problem coaches face: finding clients consistently and sustainably. After surveying my newsletter list, they confirmed what I suspected: the biggest struggle for coaches is getting clients. So I created this 21-episode limited series that contains everything I wish I'd known when I was struggling to find my first clients. The series is designed to be consumed like a Netflix show - all 21 episodes in less than 3 hours, meant to be listened to in order starting with Episode 1. Each episode builds on the previous one to create a complete client-finding system. I've also created a comprehensive workbook with homework assignments, visual infographics, and action items for each episode. You can download it free at amanda-walker.com/howtogetclients. In today's episode, I share why I created this series and give you a preview of Episode 3: "The Profitable Coach Formula." I break down the three phases every coaching business goes through: Phase 1: Thinking About Making Money - excited about coaching but unsure how to get paid consistently Phase 2: Prepping to Make Money - starting to post on social and set up basic systems Phase 3: Making Consistent Money - established authority with systems and flows that work Most coaches get stuck trying to go from social media posts directly to high-ticket offers without building the crucial "middle" of their ecosystem - the trust-building phase that establishes authority and credibility. To celebrate the launch, I'm hosting a giveaway! Subscribe to the new podcast, leave a review, and share episodes on social media for chances to win my favorite recording microphone.
