Advertise on podcast: The Endurance Coachpreneur: Business Tips for Triathlon, Running and Cycling Coaches

In this episode, I go into how you should look at your business like it has two periods (intervals) where you are pushing hard, maybe in season, selling, getting more athletes, doing calls.. And then also a rest season. Where there is more time to reflect, have quiet, create content, fulfill on your offers, create new offers and fix your backend of your business. Both are important. Plus, you get a behind the scenes of our last 5-6 months in the Dream Programs and how it has been a lot of zone 3/4 and 5 work. And now we are heading into a recovery interval.

In this episode, I explore the impact of AI on the coaching industry, analyzing data from USA Triathlon surveys and sharing insights from my coaching experience about athletes' use of AI tools. I discuss how AI could offer personalized training plans at lower costs or greater adaptability, potentially appealing to independent athletes who prefer self-coaching. I also discuss how there are a lot of different athletes with different types of goals - not all will ever want to be coached! I would love a review. Reviews help me get this podcast out to new audiences. Thanks! Website | Follow Michelle on IG

In this episode, I go over all the feelings around content and social media (and trust me, I have heard them all!). Instead of thinking of social media and content as some quick fix but icky thing, the reality's that it's going to take a long time (no such thing as an inquiry from one IG post), that it does get so much easier AND that when you zoom out you realize it's just all part of a process of becoming a better coach and helping others succeed.  Introducing the FREE Dream Content Challenge!!

In today’s episode, we’re breaking down why choosing a single annual word is one of the most effective ways to anchor your growth as a coach, business owner and human being. Most coaches set resolutions or stack a long list of goals they don’t actually stay connected to past late January. A word works differently. It becomes an internal compass: a grounding intention that shapes how you make decisions, how you show up, and how you grow across an entire year. In this episode, I give you my thoughts on the word of the year exercise, some examples, how to set your word (and not set your word) and an explanation of my word going into 2026.  Interested in getting your coaching business started?

In this episode, I give an update on what's going on in the Dream Programs world.
