Why people scrolled past Paul ( 76% of coaches get this wrong)
Audopia x Coachtrap | Rooted in Resilience w/ Paul Elias
In this raw and real episode of Audopia x Coachtrap, we’re joined by Paul Elias, a former military man turned performance coach, to unpack his journey from the battlefield to the coaching space — and why his course, Rooted and Resilient, isn’t just another “feel good” framework. It’s built for people who want real personal growth, resilience, and authenticity in the face of life’s chaos.
Hosted by Greg Styan and Dan Williams from Coachtrap, this conversation gets straight to the point. No fluff. No salesy nonsense. Just honest talk about leadership, mental health, coaching, and the uncomfortable but powerful truth that growth starts where comfort ends.
Paul shares how understanding your own story can help you lead others, why being vulnerable builds real community, and how to stop sounding like a coachy robot and start connecting like a human.
We also help Paul refine the marketing for his course — so if you're a coach who hates marketing but knows you have something powerful to offer, you'll want to take notes.

If You’re Not Showing Up, You’re Already Losing.Consistency isn’t just a nice-to-have—it’s the backbone of a successful coaching business. You wouldn’t expect a footballer to train once a week and make it to the Premier League. So why do so many coaches think posting every now and then will bring in clients?Here’s the reality:
✅ Businesses that post consistently see 27% better results.
✅ Organic growth outperforms paid ads when you build authority.
✅ Your digital home (website, newsletter, social media) must reflect YOU.In Episode 3 of The Coach Trap, we break down The Everyday Tick Box Formula—a simple system to make consistency effortless. We’re covering DMs, lead magnets, and why “waiting for the perfect time” is just procrastination in disguise.Success isn’t about luck—it’s about showing up.
Why 90% of Coaches Fail (And Why You Shouldn’t Be Scared to P** Off 20%)
mardi 11 février 2025 • Durée 22:35
Most coaches fail. Not because they aren’t talented, but because they underestimate how hard this game really is.
They think slapping “Coach” in their bio and posting a few motivational quotes will have clients lining up. Spoiler: it won’t.
In this episode, hosts Dan Williams and Greg Styan break down why 90% of coaches quit (or never even get started properly) and why you should be okay with p***ing off 20% of people along the way.
If you're too scared to ruffle a few feathers, you're probably playing it too safe—and safe doesn’t pay the bills.
If you’re serious about coaching (and not just pretending), this one’s for you. Let’s go.
Your Profile Picture is Costing You Clients

Your Profile Picture is Costing You Clients
First impressions matter—and no, you don’t need to look like a movie star to make a good one.
In this episode, hosts Dan Williams and Greg Styan break down the three key elements of a high-converting profile picture. Spoiler: hiding behind a logo is killing your business.
We’ll cover:
✅ Why a clear, on-brand photo builds instant trust
✅ The biggest mistakes coaches make with their PFPs (and how to fix them in 30 minutes)
✅ The ‘Williams Method’—a bold (and slightly unhinged) way to make your profile unforgettable
People don’t care what you look like—they just need to know you’re real. So if you’re serious about building authority online, this episode is a must.
Let’s go.
