Description

Today’s guest is Jack Gadd, a men’s fat loss coach known for his consistent, grounded approach to online coaching.


From engineering day jobs and protein bar subscription boxes to managing 100+ coaching clients, Jack breaks down how he built a coaching brand that prioritizes results over reels and long-term change over short-term fads.


We explore:


-The state of the online coaching space and how it's shifted in recent years

-Why following trends hurt Jack’s business—and how getting back to fundamentals rebuilt it

-The hidden downside of going viral and growing a follower base that doesn’t convert

-The exact strategies Jack used to niche down and attract the right kind of clients

-What it’s really like to juggle 80–100+ coaching clients and still make family time work

-The importance of mentorship, accountability, and investing in your own development

-Jack’s pivot from failed subscription box owner to fat loss authority

-Why working with people for free early on still works—and how it accelerated Jack’s success

-What being your own ideal client does for your content, message, and conversions

-Jack’s full day breakdown, from 5AM check-ins to 7PM bath time chaos


🔑 Key Takeaways:

* Don’t chase trends: Chasing virality diluted Jack’s message and attracted the wrong clients.

* Stick to fundamentals: Consistency and results still matter more than likes and views.

* Mentorship matters: Business growth accelerated when Jack got (and kept) a mentor.

* Start simple: Working with clients for free built trust, testimonials, and momentum.

* Be your own case study: Jack’s content is a mirror of his life and that’s what connects.
