Lebron James. That’s a name you likely recognize. But what about Mike Mancias? You probably don’t know that, but Mike has been Lebron’s personal athletic trainer for over 14 years. As Lebron breaks all-time records, this shows the positive impact of working with a coach.
So today, Nicolai Oliden jumps on the podcast to discuss why you should have a coach. As someone who first got started as a financial coach after paying off $140k in debt, Nicolai and Luis talk about the importance of getting an external perspective on whatever you’re trying to achieve — and how the accountability that comes with it can take you exactly where you want to go.
