If you’ve been part of our Facebook family for a while, you’re probably already hooked on our live client interviews.
If you’re new to the tribe or just passing through, let me paint a picture for you:
Every week, like clockwork, our very own Matthew Shetler fires up the live feed and settles into a virtual fireside chat with some truly remarkable folks.
These are our clients, who are not just successful, but have also transformed their businesses and their lives.
They dive deep, unpacking their journeys, their strategies, their highs, and their lows. And as they share, we all learn and grow together.
But here’s where it gets really interesting.
Just when you think the conversation’s winding down, Matthew throws in a curveball. He asks each guest to share one nugget of wisdom—the kind of advice that’s been their guiding star.
The responses? Pure gold!
Every single week, we are treated to nuggets of wisdom so profound and so genuine, they strike a chord in all of us.
Then it hit us… wouldn’t it be downright selfish to keep all this wisdom to ourselves?
That, my friend, is why we’ve decided to compile all this wisdom in one place.
So, whether you’re part of our community, a first-time visitor, or just someone on the hunt for some serious inspiration, these words have the power to ignite change. These are the raw, real, and invaluable insights that you can apply, no matter where you’re at in your journey.

We’ve put together 15 powerful life lessons from some of our most successful coaches, all packed into this article.
So, are you ready to get your mind blown?

Christina Beckford on the Importance of Trials and Tribulations

Why Christina Beckford is Worth Your Attention

Andrea Engstrom on Confronting Negative Self-Talk
“Head trash, as I call it, is when our mind starts telling us lies about what we’re capable of. It’s important to recognize these thoughts and transform them into affirmations of our true potential.

Brandon Foster on Personal Accountability and Power
“The life you have is the life you’re willing to accept. I learned this by overcoming a victim mentality and realizing my power of free will and choice. Your external world is a reflection of your internal beliefs about yourself and your capabilities. Decide to take control of your life and believe in your worth and potential. If you’re not willing to accept your current situation anymore, make the decision to change it.”
Why Brandon Foster is Worth Your Attention
Before Brandon Foster hooked up with C&C, his coaching business was bringing in an average of just $3,000 per month. And this, despite his unique approach that blended storytelling and emotional connection, honed from his time as a circus clown and his master’s degree in screenwriting.
