    Episode #973: Tom Ruwitch: Combining Strategy, Tech, and Team to Scale Your Coaching Business!
    May 11 2026

    For coaches who are tired of tech getting in the way of their message and looking for a smoother way to scale, this episode dives into a powerful framework: combining strategy, tech, and team. Today, Marc is joined by past guest Tom Ruwitch, the founder of Implementum and Story Power Marketing. Tom is an expert at helping coaches move past boring, informative content to create story-powered marketing that actually captivates prospects, and he's breaking down exactly how to do it in this one!

    What You'll Hear In This Episode:

    • The way to conquer the tech freeze that stops most launch strategies in their tracks.

    • How to stop letting readers disappear after they close the book and instead use lead acquisition strategies to move them onto real estate you actually control.

    • The massive revenue gap caused by a failure to follow up and why engaging with your readers is the difference between a vanity project and a business.

    • Why a customized, all-in-one platform built around a specific strategy is the only way to ensure your tech doesn't become a human bottleneck.

    • The right way to leverage AI as a tool for efficiency without losing the human story that makes your marketing actually move people.

    • How to avoid getting stuck in the "AI slop" when it comes to your content and why sounding like an AI server will trap your brand in the mushy middle of the market.

    • A deep dive into the Strategy, Tech, and Team framework and how having all three in one place allows you to scale without the tech headaches.

    Episode #972: Peter Lloyd-Lister: Using Skool Auctions to Generate Massive Revenue!
    May 4 2026
    For coaches looking for a fresh way to inject a burst of revenue into their businesses without the fatigue of a traditional launch, this episode dives into a unique strategy: Skool auctions. Joining Marc today is Peter Lloyd-Lister, who helps coaches run high-energy auctions inside Skool communities. This isn't the fast-talking, old-school variety though - it's a strategic, online process that turns a simple community into a revenue-generating machine! In this episode, Peter explains how he's helped coaches generate 6-figure results with Skool groups of fewer than 200 members, and why the direct messaging power of Skool makes it the ultimate platform for this model compared to traditional Facebook groups. The conversation also covers a zero-risk way to bring an auctioneer onto a coaching team and provides a behind-the-scenes look at the auction Peter and Marc are running together inside the brand-new Secret Coach Club. If you're ready to stop shouting into the social media void and start using a strategy that gets people raising their hands and their bids, Peter shares exactly how to get the ball rolling! What You'll Hear In This Episode: A high-level breakdown of how a Skool auction works and the psychological importance of starting bids at just $1. The technical setup and cost of Skool, and why it's arguably the most user-friendly community platform for coaches today. Finding the "Goldilocks" zone for auction frequency and how long you should wait between events to avoid audience fatigue. Why your auction prize doesn't have to be your core offer and how to use the backend to sell your high-ticket programs. The reasons that the strongest auctions are built on community value and the dangers of treating your group as a ghost town between events. Real-world case studies from Peter of Skool auctions generating 6-figure revenue with groups as small as 180 members. Why Peter follows a 43-step checklist to maximize revenue and how to leverage an auctioneer with zero upfront risk. A sneak peek inside the brand-new Secret Coach Club and how to watch the auction process unfold in real-time.

    In nearly a thousand episodes of Natural Born Coaches, a topic like this has never been tackled! Today, Marc is joined by Bryce Hoffman, the founder of Red Team Thinking and a former business journalist who has spent decades looking inside the world's most successful organizations, as he dives into the concept of Red Teaming, a methodology originally developed by military and intelligence agencies to stress-test strategies and navigate extreme uncertainty. In a world that feels increasingly volatile, complex, and disrupted by AI, the old way of doing things isn't just a choice; it's a liability.

Listeners will learn foundational tools like Think-Write-Share and the Six Strategic Questions to help clients navigate complexity with clarity, and you can claim your spots now at https://www.naturalborncoaches.com/redteamcoaching! What You'll Hear In This Episode: Defining the concept of red teaming within a business context and how deliberate challenge can actually strengthen an organization's strategy. A look at the massive shifts in the coaching industry over the last few years and the disruptive impact of a "VUCA world". How coaches can help leaders establish their unique value and build cognitive resilience in a market flooded with low-cost alternatives. The one critical limitation of AI and why this is important for coaches to understand. Practical steps for applying red team thinking to your own coaching business by focusing on the three Cs: Clarity, Capability, and Culture.
