Always Coachable is a podcast about growth.
I sit down with athletes, entrepreneurs, coaches, leaders, and high performers to talk about what they’re learning, how they’ve evolved, the mistakes they’ve made, and the lessons they’ve picked up along the way.
The best people I’ve ever met all have one thing in common: They never think they’ve arrived.
They’re always learning.
Always adapting.
Always looking for another gear.
They’re always coachable.
Some of the most memorable moments in sports are defined not just by what happens on the ice, but by the voice that brings them to life.
On this episode of Always Coachable, I sit down with Jack Michaels, NHL play-by-play broadcaster for the Edmonton Oilers, to explore the journey behind one of hockey's most recognizable voices.
From rejection and years spent working his way through the minor leagues to calling some of the NHL's biggest moments, Jack shares what it takes to succeed in a profession where preparation, composure, and instinct all matter.
We talk about resilience, discipline, handling pressure, finding your own voice, and why even at the highest level, there's always room to improve.
It's a conversation about much more than hockey. It's about persistence, mastering your craft, and never believing you've finished learning.

What Medals Don't Tell You | Kaleigh Quennec
🏅 WHAT MEDALS DON'T TELL YOU | KALEIGH QUENNEC
Behind every medal, milestone, and achievement is a story most people never see.
This week on Always Coachable, I sit down with Olympian Kaleigh Quennec for an honest conversation about the journey behind the success.
From overcoming self-doubt and adversity to achieving her Olympic dreams, Kaleigh shares the lessons that shaped her both as an athlete and as a person.
We talk about leadership, resilience, staying present, and why being authentic and coachable matters far more than any title.
We also explore her passion for mentoring the next generation of athletes through Pro Path Hockey and what it really means to help someone reach their potential.
Because sometimes the most valuable lessons aren't found in the medals we win, but in the people we become along the way.

The Courage to Keep Growing | Maryanna Young
EPISODE 19 | ALWAYS COACHABLE 🎙️
The biggest opportunities in life often start with the doors we're afraid to walk through.
What does it take to go from competitive athlete to sports agent to CEO of a publishing company?
This week on Always Coachable, I sit down with Marianna Young, CEO, publisher, and ghostwriter at Aloha Publishing, for a conversation about leadership, resilience, entrepreneurship, and the mindset behind personal and professional growth.
Marianna's journey is a reminder that success isn't always about having the perfect plan. Sometimes it's about having the courage to take an opportunity, the willingness to figure things out, and the humility to keep learning.
We dive into lessons from sports that translate into business, why great leaders empower rather than micromanage, how to overcome fear, and what it really means to stay coachable.
One of my favorite takeaways from our conversation:
"If you learn every day, you stay coachable."
Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, coach, or leader, there's something in this conversation for you.
