Episode 16: Season 4 Episode 15- Keir Wenham-Flatt- “What is the stuff that makes you a really good coach that builds your career”

CVASPS The Podcast

Today I’m really excited to welcome “Mr. Rugby Strength Coach” Keir Wenham-Flatt back to The Podcast, and discuss a different topic with Keir, and that is ways coaches can do better for themselves with secondary forms of income. This is something that, if you’ve ever heard me get on my soap box about, I’m very passionate about, and really feel that we all, me included, need to take a much deeper look at. Throughout the 30-minute discussion “The Rugby Guy” and I get into:

1) The factors that drove him through the steps leading him to each step of his “side hustle” journey.

2) Why there are things that can help coaches improve may not help drive careers forward

3) How having a secondary income stream can help improve your freedom to make better decisions in and out of work.

4) Persuasion vs coercion, how they work hand in hand if you don’t have a backup plan.

5) Escape velocity numbers, what that means, and how it fits with coaches and side hustles.

6) Skills learned from being in business that transferred into coaching.

7) What is Money Moves and why should coaches care?

This topic is one that I really think needs to be talked about exponentially more than it is, and one that I’ve tried to push for more coaches to share how they’re finding alternative ways to make some cash to better themselves. To me, it doesn’t matter if it’s finding a second job, starting an online business, or getting into real estate, as long as you are finding a way to better yourself in the long run I think that is absolutely huge. If you have interest in checking out K’s sight for more info on Money Moves or to sign up hop over to www.callmekeir.com/squeeze. I think that this could be a great avenue for many coaches out there to help find ways to scale what they do and make a little extra cash on the side. Keir is one of the few people I talk to when it comes to ways I can be better online, so I was really excited to get him back on The Podcast to talk about this topic. I hope you enjoyed the banter as much as I did, and if you did, please share the show with a colleague that you think could find some value in it. Also, if you haven’t subscribed and left a review on your favorite podcast player and could do so I would truly appreciate the support!
