In this episode of Career Coaching Secrets, host Pedro sits down with Laurie Brewer, founder of Glow Up Consulting, to unpack a hard truth many entrepreneurs face—traction alone isn’t enough if you’re working with the wrong people.

The conversation dives deep into what makes a business actually sustainable—beyond revenue—and how clarity around your “wedge” (what makes you different) can completely change your growth path.

If you’re a coach, consultant, or founder trying to scale without losing meaning in your work, this episode will shift how you think about traction, alignment, and long-term success.
