In this episode of Founders, Future, with host Milan Kohut, we meet Catherine Peters (also known as Cat the Coach), a certified professional coach who specializes in helping overwhelmed professionals and entrepreneurs heal from burnout. Catherine shares her powerful personal journey, revealing how her own experience with severe stress and a health crisis led her to leave the corporate ladder and become an entrepreneur. She discusses founding several businesses, including Denver's first dog park bar, and how the lessons learned from these ventures, particularly around managing stress and mindset, ultimately guided her to her true calling: coaching others to achieve their biggest goals without sacrificing their well-being.

The conversation delves into the core of Catherine's current business, where she helps "burnt crispy" professionals and executives increase their capacity while decreasing stress. She explains her relationship-driven approach to marketing, focusing on providing value through LinkedIn, YouTube, and her email list rather than traditional social media. Looking ahead, Catherine outlines her goals to double her coaching revenue and build a supportive team by 2026. She leaves listeners with a crucial piece of advice for any entrepreneur: the key to creating success lies in first mastering your own mind, as your thoughts directly shape your actions and results.
