#152 - Finding Alignment and Scaling Your Business - Alan Howard

Today I sat down with Alan Howard, Founder, The Path. Alan is a powerful and transformative coach who has an uncanny ability to cut through the bullshit and facade to see a man at his core. Before coaching, Alan built and sold two businesses, travelled the world for 6 years, and embarked on many adventures to deepen his self-understanding; living with an indigenous tribe, travelling to 20+ countries, and opting to live in a pitch dark room for several days to meet himself.Timestamps:00:01 – Alan’s background: building, selling, and walking away from businesses02:00 – 48 hours in darkness: self-love, visions, and identity03:35 – Why discomfort reveals who you really are06:00 – Self-love as defending your beliefs & building confidence07:44 – Paul’s “Who are you?” question and identity beyond roles12:00 – Transition from entrepreneur to coach & landing first clients17:11 – Coaching style: calling BS, trauma release, and tuning into authenticity19:01 – Fitness coaches as caricatures: staying connected to self & clients20:23 – Advice for coaches making 5–20k/month: fear as the compass23:32 – Amateurs vs. professionals: taking action without attachment26:00 – Alignment under pressure: holding vision even with financial risk28:14 – Redefining success: money vs. waking up loving your life32:18 – Your brand as the moat: no one can steal your story34:12 – Why we avoid “bad emotions” and how to sit with them53:47 – Beyond motivation & discipline: living in flow and trusting yourselfFind AlanWebsite - https://the-path.com/Instagram - alan__howardYouTube - @alan_howard__________Paul's singular goal is to raise the bar for coaching.
