Working with a Coach and helping yourself

Episode Ten: My Own Personal Guru

What do you do when the biggest obstacle in your business… is you?

In this episode, I put the Good John in front of the Bad John—the version of me that avoids, delays, and quietly convinces himself that effort is pointless. Along the way, we talk gurus, comfort zones, and a little New Age weirdness. (Yes, Sai Baba makes an appearance.)

I’m joined by career coach Abdelaziz Bourassi, all the way from New Caledonia, for a conversation about alignment, ambition, and getting out of your own way—even when you’re not "ready."

If you’ve been stuck, circling the same problems, or wondering if it’s time to shift how you show up in your work—this one’s for you.
