Meet Our Favorite Segment: Coaches Unfiltered
One of the most-loved parts of the podcast is something we call Coaches Unfiltered. At the end of each episode, two of our Design Suite coaches jump in to share their honest take on the topic. They talk about how the episode helped them, what they’ve applied to their own journey, and how they’re supporting others through the same struggles
It’s honest. It’s helpful. And it adds a powerful second layer of perspective from creatives who are in the trenches every day.
Listeners have told us this is one of their favorite parts of the podcast—and we agree!
