    Why Creatives Struggle With Sales (And How to Fix It) | Yaacov Steinberg

    In this powerful and deeply relatable episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with sales coach Yaacov Steinberg to uncover the real reason why so many talented creatives struggle to sell—despite producing work their clients genuinely love. Yaacov opens up about his journey from being an introverted outsider growing up—navigating ADHD, sensitivity, and social challenges—to becoming a top-performing sales professional and trusted coach. Instead of relying on traditional “pushy” sales tactics, he developed a human-centered approach rooted in psychology, empathy, and genuine connection. This episode dives deep into the mindset shifts that changed everything for him—especially the powerful transition from focusing on perception to embracing perspective. Yaacov explains why most creatives fail at sales not because they lack skill, but because they’ve been taught outdated, transactional methods that don’t align with who they are.

    From Debt to Wealth: How Mike Crofts Built a Financial Coaching Business

    In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with financial coach Mike Crofts, a former touring musician turned certified financial coach, to explore how he transformed personal debt struggles into a thriving coaching business focused on financial freedom, behavior change, and long-term wealth building. Mike shares how burnout during his music career led him into a deep financial collapse after the 2008 crash—and how that moment ultimately became the turning point that pushed him into the world of financial coaching. What started as learning how to get out of debt evolved into helping clients build sustainable wealth through intentional planning, mindset work, and disciplined investing. A major breakthrough in his marketing journey came from a single webinar that resonated strongly with his audience and became the primary source of early client acquisition. From there, Mike grew a coaching business that has helped clients eliminate millions in debt and transition into wealth-building strategies.

She shares how early experiences, including volunteering with adults learning to read and write, shaped her deep appreciation for human stories and development. From there, Hazel walks through the pivotal moment she discovered coaching and realized, “this is it—this is what I want to do.” The episode then dives into the real transition most coaches struggle with: moving from passion to profession.

    Katrina Van Oudheusden Built 2 Six-Figure Businesses… Then Walked Away (Here’s Why)

    In this powerful episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Katrina Van Oudheusden, creator of the Create Her Method and founder of the Female Intelligence Cycle, to unpack a truth that most entrepreneurs completely miss about business growth, burnout, and sustainability. Katrina’s journey is anything but typical. From working as a chef inside the Disney ecosystem to transitioning into digital marketing and eventually building multiple six-figure coaching businesses, she experienced firsthand what “success” looks like on paper—and what it feels like behind the scenes. Despite hitting major milestones, she ultimately walked away from two thriving businesses due to exhaustion and misalignment. What she discovered next changed everything. Katrina realized that most business strategies, productivity systems, and growth frameworks are built on linear, constant-output models—systems that often ignore how women naturally think, create, decide, and lead. Instead of forcing herself to fit into that mold, she developed a new approach centered around the natural rhythms of female intelligence, helping women build businesses that are both profitable and sustainable.
