This is, 15 minutes to freedom.

I'm your host, Ryan Nidell, and today's episode is Put Me In Coach.

So I feel like in any good healthy period of growth.

Using a coach is the best way to get from where you're at

to where you want to be.

And so in having that coach,

he's able to condense time. You know even on this podcast for me personally I have a coach

coach's name is Dave and Dave's an incredible man. Dave reached out to me via gosh I think

social media and asked me if I'd consider becoming or being coached by him

I didn't know a podcast coach even existed I didn't know that there were things that I could improve upon I mean obviously I knew I could get better at my craft. I mean, I'm by no means a professional podcaster.

Every day I'm working to get a little bit better and understand the math and metrics behind what makes this appealing for you to listen to.

And Dave has been the biggest catalyst in making this happen.

See, Dave reached out to me and offered me this service.

And originally I was almost offended.

It was, well, why do I need a coach?

You know, is my podcast that bad?

At that point, I had a top five ranking in iTunes

and was probably 25 or 30 days into episodes

and thought, this is atrocious, why do I need somebody to coach me?

But listen to him anyway, thought it was flattering. This is atrocious. Why do I need somebody to coach me?

But listen to him anyway, thought it was flattering. I want to do him this service. I mean, he had the testicular fortitude to reach out to me. So how could I not spend a moment listening to him?

I know there's nobody walk me through his process.
