"Coaches should have a passive agenda, which is to help the person transform or flourish. So that's why [as a coach], it's interesting to basically have ego disillusion and have to unlearn talking, practice active listening, trust your gut, and forget about what you want to say or what you want to ask." – Jonas Altman

In this episode, Aki and Jonas discuss -

• The "hustle" culture, burn out, and perceived pressure to productise and monetise. 
• Why people would seek out a coach and how they can enhance your life
• The difference between a coach and a mentor
• The key qualities of a highly effective coach
