EP42: Angie Callen on Office Space, Classic Rock, and the Business of Coaching

Angie Callen went from civil engineer to coach for high-performing leaders—and she didn’t take the straight path to get there. In this episode, she shares how art galleries, nonprofits, and burnout led her to a thriving coaching business.

We talk LinkedIn strategy that actually works, the mindset traps most coaches fall into, and why storytelling beats step-by-step tips every time.

Highlights:

• Why most coaches want to coach—but forget they’re running a business
• The LinkedIn content shift that builds trust instead of just teaching
• Mindset, sales, and niche evolution (and why failure is content gold)
• What’s killing earning potential for talented coaches
• Why being a great listener beats being a great closer

If you're a coach or creative pro trying to grow a business without burning out, this one's for you.
