BA Fam we’re back at the Brown Table! It’s been a minute, but the original crew Mandi), Yanely), and Chris) are together again and catching up on everything. From West Coast travels and birthday plans to coaching updates and sleep podcast dreams (yes, really), this episode is full of laughs, life, and hard-earned lessons.
Mandi) shares the behind-the-scenes of launching her new 12-week VIP coaching program and why one-on-one coaching needs more than just one call. We also get real about the job market and how AI is already shifting the game especially for new grads and folks trying to break in. The tea? Relationships matter more than ever.
Chris) is dreaming up a new show (spoiler: it might put you to sleep—in the best way, and Yanely) is out here living her best life… and finally seeing Beyoncé live in her hometown.
