What we discuss: 

- **What we’re drinking** — a Canadian mojito & a franken-cocktail-jalapeno-limeade-rum-concoction (can you guess who made which?)
- Our shared **arts background** and what led us each to coaching
- The age-old question of what **coaching actually is**
- What it looks like to **evolve past the coaching methodologies **we’ve been taught
- Some **pet peeves about marketing** in the industry that positions coaches as perfect
- Our origin story (**what in the heck led us to do this podcast** in the first place)
- And much more!
