Being Devoted to the Greater Good | A Coaching Session with Eric Espinosa, co-founder of Coconut VA
Welcome to ''The CEO's Laundry,'' the first coaching podcast for CEOs.
In this episode, I coach Eric Espinosa, co-founder and ex-CEO of Coconut VA and founder of Vacation Laptopless.
—
As a digital nomad, Eric runs his companies remotely while exploring the world. He helped co-found Coconut VA, a virtual assistant staffing agency, which bootstrapped to $1 million ARR in 17 months. He's now focused on building Vacation Laptopless, a work-life balance brand that provides retreats for 6-8 figure founders.
In this conversation, Eric decided to dig into how his future business could look in terms of market fit, and how he could find his own personal satisfaction in it.
Yet, underneath it all, we uncover his commitment to his staff, and how much living up to his promise impacts him and his decision.
In our conversation, we explore the possibility of being committed to the greater good while creating a business where he thrives, has fun, and generates revenue.

The Power of Thinking Bigger | A Coaching Session with Thane Lawrie, Vice-Chairman of Scarf
Welcome to ''The CEO's Laundry,'' the first coaching podcast for CEOs.
In this episode, I coach Thane Lawrie, former CEO and Vice-Chairman of Scarf. He is also the current Chairman of The Haven.
—
Thane has experience in leadership and executive roles. He is also a devoted Buddhist, which makes him a profoundly inspirational and mindful leader (moreover, he wrote an excellent book entitled “The Buddhist CEO”).
Yet, underneath it all, he is also a human facing inner and outer challenges. Recent health issues, and a new career direction, have helped him re-create himself.
In our conversation, we explore how he can keep reconnecting to his heart's desires and use conscious intentions to go for bolder dreams he has in mind without apparent effort.

Being a Mindful CEO | A Coaching Session with Ben Sampson, CEO of WeHero
Welcome to ''The CEO's Laundry'', the first coaching podcast for CEOs.
In this episode, I coach Ben Sampson, co-founder and CEO of WeHero.
—
WeHero designs, plans, and executes corporate volunteer, team building, and employee engagement experiences that create social impact.
Ben's past experience includes leading product teams, building startups, and studying sustainable business strategy at Harvard.
In this episode, Ben opens up about unintentional challenges that can appear in the office, creating questioning within the team and within himself.
The question we explore is, "How to create a mindful culture, without authoritarian leadership, that makes everyone feel heard and safe?" For context, the question takes place in a setting where some employees work remotely while others must work in the office.
Ben leaves the conversation smiling, with increased clarity and the reminder that he already has within him all the tools to create a win-win for everyone around him, including himself.

The Courage to Be True to Yourself | Danny Carlson, CEO of Kenji ROI
Welcome to the first coaching podcast for CEOs. In this episode, I coach Danny Carlson, the CEO of Kenji ROI, a 7+ figure Amazon Sellers consulting agency.
—
On the eve of his 30th birthday, Danny decided to shift his identity to become a better version of himself. He is committed to more peace and freedom.
In his quest, one of the ways that he has identified to be more of who he wants to be is to make less money/have less professional responsibilities.
During our conversation, we come to realize that his goal to make less money to better himself is partially built on a limiting belief/fear.
Together, we explore deeply the WHY of the decision for his personality change, and how he can achieve it without being impacted by the judgment of others.

Change Yourself to Change The World | Joanna Picetti, CEO of JP.Network
Welcome to the first coaching podcast for CEOs. In this episode, I coach Joanna Picetti, the CEO of JP.Network.
—
Joanna is driven by a futuristic and bold vision: making people of Earth global citizens of Earth (going beyond our current national citizenships) by using blockchain technology.
At the beginning of our session, Joanna expresses her emotional side. Her passion and mission are so fully alive that they show up through tears.
As we're going through our session, my responsibility is to refocus on her, not her problem/challenge. I'm working on making her open herself to inner change. But as the discussion goes through, she expresses her reluctance to do so.
At the end, Joanna expresses to me her resentment toward my coaching, which I'm open to. I'm used to that as a coach: CEOs not being willing to be challenged as much as they thought they would.
And as our time together comes to an end, a beautiful insight emerges that has already started to change her life (watch until the last minute to get it).
