In this episode, we provide updates on our respective businesses and talk about the value of coaching in our lives and businesses. James hasn't had a serious coach since high school, whereas John has hired multiple coaches to support him in various areas.

We discuss the merits of hiring a coaching, but also the risks or downsides of hiring the wrong coach. If you've ever considered working with one yourself, this episode should be excellent pre-work to help you make a smart decision.

As always, we also provide updates on Castaway and EditorNinja, which include...

• Letting go of your first team member
• A ranking update on the top-level service pages we made last time
• How to evolve your offerings based on market demands
• A whale client is in the pipeline for Castaway
• What to do when competitors start to go silent
