Episode Description

What’s actually working for coaches in 2026 when it comes to client acquisition?

In this episode, Jessica sits down with Wendy McCallum—former lawyer turned business coach and founder of the Business Building Bootcamp—to unpack how Wendy has built a thriving coaching business for more than 15 years… and why she’s doubling down on podcasts, conversations, and human-first marketing.

Wendy shares:

  1. Why she still uses the same “old-school” strategies she relied on in the early days
  2. How her podcast became her top-of-funnel growth engine
  3. The one-to-many “open house” strategy that converts listeners into clients
  4. How SEO and blogging quietly drive new leads every week
  5. Why AI search tools like ChatGPT are now sending clients her way
  6. And how coaches can grow without forcing themselves into marketing that feels misaligned

If you’re a coach in your first five years—or simply tired of chasing shiny marketing tactics—this conversation is a must-listen.

What You’ll Learn in This Episode

  1. Why relationship-driven marketing is making a comeback
  2. How Wendy structures her Business Building Bootcamp and open houses
