    Your Profile Is Costing You Clients: LinkedIn Is a Pipeline, Not Social Media | Melanie Wexler

    What if the thing holding your coaching business back isn't your niche, your website, or your offer — but the fact that you're not treating LinkedIn like the pipeline it actually is? In this episode of Making Of A Coach, we sit down with LinkedIn coach and executive career strategist Melanie Mitchell-Wexler, who built her entire coaching business from the ground up — no plan, no savings runway, no perfect setup. Just a skill, a need, and a willingness to figure it out as she went. Melanie breaks down why 70-80% of jobs are never publicly posted, how to warm up an audience without spamming your connections, and the one shift that took her LinkedIn from crickets to consistent clients. Whether you're a coach trying to fill your pipeline or an executive looking to stay visible — this one's a masterclass. What You'll Learn: Why you don't need to have it all figured out to start — and what to do insteadHow LinkedIn works as a professional search engine, not just a social media platformThe difference between a LinkedIn profile and a LinkedIn presence — and why it mattersWhy job searching and client prospecting are the exact same skillThe 60-day engagement strategy that outperforms posting Connect with Melanie Mitchell-Wexler: LinkedIn: Melanie Mitchell WexlerLinkedIn Rockstar AcceleratorCareer Coaching: Find Succeed Achieve Making Of A Coach Podcast | Hosted by Josh Jurkovich Follow, subscribe, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.

    The Endurance Frameworks That Win in Sports AND Business | Sean Luitjens

    What do 38 years of triathlon, Crohn's disease, a World Championship qualification, and a SaaS career have in common? A guy named Sean Luitjens who figured out that the frameworks for winning in endurance sports are the exact same ones that work in business, coaching, and life. In this episode of Making Of A Coach, host Josh Jurkovich gets into it with endurance OG and Metta Performance coach Sean Luitjens — covering everything from resetting goals after a health crisis, to why the best training plan is the one you'll actually follow, to what happens in your head at hour five of a race when there's nobody left to talk to. If you're a coach, an athlete, a builder, or just someone trying to show up consistently — this one's for you. What You'll Learn: Why 'podium or bust' is a trap — and how to reset goals without losing your edgeThe systems-first approach to training (and why December 1st matters more than January 1st)How to build a training week that survives real life — travel, family, stress, and allWhat passion vs. persistence actually looks like at hour five of a raceHow the frameworks of endurance athletics apply directly to business and coaching Connect with Sean Luitjens: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sean-luitjens/ Metta Performance: https://mettaperformance.com/the-metta-method/ Metta Performance Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/metta-performance/id1847733571 Making Of A Coach Podcast | Hosted by Josh Jurkovich Follow, subscribe, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.

    You Have a Job, Not a Company: The Exit Planning Every Business Owner Needs | Len Bruskiewitz

    Most business owners spend years grinding to build something — and almost no time thinking about how to get out. Len Bruskiewitz, a Certified Exit Planning Advisor and FocalPoint Business Coach based near Boston, has spent his career fixing exactly that. In this episode, Len walks Josh through the three-step process he uses to help business owners aged 55+ understand what their company is actually worth, identify which of 40 factors are dragging down that value, and start removing themselves from the day-to-day — long before a sale is ever on the table. If your business would fall apart without you, this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed. What You'll Learn: How to tell if your business is actually ready to sell — and why most aren'tWhy "I'll think about exiting in 90 days" is already too late (and what the right timeline looks like)The 40-factor framework that reveals which levers will raise your business's value fastestHow the 80% Rule helps owners start delegating without the paralysis of perfectionismWhy post-exit purpose matters as much as the sale price — and how to plan for it now Connect with Len Bruskiewitz: Website: greaterheightscoaching.com FocalPoint Profile: lenbruskiewitz.focalpointcoaching.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/lbruski Email: lbruskiewitz@focalpointcoaching.com Making Of A Coach Podcast | Hosted by Josh Jurkovich Follow, subscribe, and leave a review wherever you get your podcasts.

    You Can't Think Your Way Out of How You Feel: Science of Emotional Regulation | Coleman Housefield

    What if the reason your relationships keep struggling — or your success feels hollow — has nothing to do with your mindset and everything to do with your nervous system? In this episode of Making Of A Coach, host Josh Jurkovich sits down with emotional regulation coach Coleman Housefield to unpack one of the most misunderstood skills in personal development. Coleman shares his own origin story — learning to regulate himself so he could help his dysregulated daughter — and walks us through the science and practice of somatic coaching. Whether you're a coach, a leader, a parent, or just someone who's tired of reacting instead of responding, this conversation will change how you see yourself and everyone around you. Don't miss the live somatic drop-in exercise at the end — it's the real deal. What You'll Learn: "You can't regulate your emotions with your brain. You can only regulate them with your body."Co-regulation is automatic and unconscious — without awareness, dysregulation always wins.Your body is perfectly designed to process emotion the moment you stop thinking and drop in.Symptoms of dysregulation aren't always obvious — they show up as success without meaning, chronic offense, or playing it small.Emotional regulation isn't just for broken people. If you want to build something that matters, you need this skill.
