Every week, we sit down with exceptional teachers, coaches, mentors, and learners from every walk of life: classroom educators, athletic coaches, business leaders, military instructors, and everyday people doing the hard work of growth. Together, we unpack what it really means to teach with clarity, coach with purpose, and mentor with heart.

In this dynamic episode of Teach, Coach, Mentor, host Michael Wish sits down with entrepreneur, author, and energy powerhouse Joe Apfelbaum, founder of Evy AI and a master of authentic engagement. What starts as a conversation about AI and LinkedIn quickly evolves into a deeper exploration of personal transformation, attention as currency, and the life-changing power of intentional growth.
Joe opens up about his journey from introverted and insecure to becoming a confident, sought-after speaker who’s helped thousands of entrepreneurs grow their business through real connection—both online and off.
