Guest Interview: Ken & Amy: Why You Need Community To Build Your Business

<p>It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Amy Oliphant and Ken Bizup. Both of my guests today are PPT Certified Mindset Coaches and current Team Captains for The MCA.⁠</p> <p>Amy is the founder of <a href='http://www.transcendmentaltraining.com/'>Transcend Mental Training</a> in Chicago. She works with athletes, hockey players, swimmers, and, as she puts it, “any athlete that crosses my path”. She is also starting to do presentations for corporations and small groups. Amy was the first coach we recruited to be a Team Captain, and we are so thankful to have her. We’ve interviewed Amy before, so you might recognize her! </p> <p> </p> <p>Ken Bizop has been working as a mental performance coach for over 10 years, and joined The MCA Certification just 1 year ago.  As Ken explains it, “I needed a recipe for success and MCA was clearly the next course of action.” Today, he continues to run his company, <a href='https://www.athletesmentaltrainer.com/'>Athletes Mental Trainer,</a> where his goal is to “unlock true athletic potential” by training the mind. </p> <p> </p> <p>As MCA Team Captains, Ken and Amy are responsible for mentoring small groups of MCA students as they progress through the program. They hold bonus weekly coaching calls where they connect with their team to offer additional help, answer questions, and build relationships with coaches who are going through our program. </p> <p> </p> <p>These breakout groups have been proven to be one of the most valuable parts of our MCA Certification. They’ve led to lifelong friendships, business opportunities, and invaluable emotional support. Students from the breakout groups have gone on to coach one another’s kids, hire one another, brainstorm marketing tactics, share advice on offerings and proposals, and, most importantly, learn from one another in a safe and welcoming space. </p> <p> </p> <p>As entrepreneurs, this level of community is so hard to find and part of what makes The MCA the best mindset coaching program in the world. </p> <p> </p> <p>Enjoy this episode w
