🎙️ Ep. 130 – Coaching, Change, and the Stories That Shape Us — with Lewis Potts

Description:
In this episode, I’m joined by the one and only Lewis Potts — a coach, mentor, and thinker who’s played a huge role in my own growth over the past three years, both professionally and personally. Lewis has lived multiple lives in one — from American football player to party animal, to going through a massive fat loss transformation, open-heart surgery, and building a thriving coaching business that now helps coaches and clients around the world transform their lives. We dive deep into the psychology of change, behaviour, and what it really takes to help people grow — not just on the surface, but at their core. Here’s what we explore:

• Why so many coaches struggle to get results for their clients — and what’s actually missing.
• How to help people care enough to change.
• The hidden stories we tell ourselves — and Lewis’s powerful question: “What is this story doing for you?”
• The difference between understanding change and actually doing it.
• How to spot when a coach is leading from ego instead of empathy.
• Why some people stay stuck for years while others reinvent themselves multiple times in a decade.
• The role of emotion, resistance, and discomfort in real transformation.
• The truth about motivation, ownership, and lasting change.
• Plus, Lewis’s thoughts on the growing role of AI in coaching — and how it might shape the future of personal development.

If you’re a coach, leader, or anyone who helps others grow, this episode is packed with insights, uncomfortable truths, and practical wisdom you can apply right away. 🎧 Tune in, take notes, and get a dose of that Lewis Potts magic.
