    The #1 way to get results is by taking action and Christie’s podcast absolutely delivers! As an aspiring coach there are so many options to choose from when it comes to business coaches. Christie knows her stuff and truly cares about your growth and results.

    Absolute Must for Any Coach
    If you are in the coaching industry, do yourself a favor and listen to this podcast! Christie Mims is phenomenal at what she does. Every episode of this podcast is filled with useful information that is actionable and can put into practical use. I spent 18 months listening to this podcast, waiting for her emails each week, and really benefiting from her content. Then I decided to join her BARB program. That has been a game changer for me. If you are a coach that is just starting out, I cannot recommend this highly enough.

    GREAT VALUE for coaches—gotta listen!
    Christie and Bobbi make these so fun! And the topics they discuss are extremely valuable to us as coaches. An easy listen and entertaining too.

    Christie knows her stuff and she does NOT gatekeep her expertise!
    I am an extremely picky podcast listener because I work in audio. I only listen to 3 podcasts, and Coach Pony podcast is one of them. I’m just starting my own coaching business, so this is all really helpful stuff to think about. And with every episode I listen to, I’m more surprised and impressed at how generous, clear and thoughtful they are with sharing their expertise. People get so stressed out about “keeping your best stuff behind a paywall,” but this podcast is a great example of how the opposite is true. Because I’ve listened, I KNOW they know their stuff, and so in this vast landscape of coaches for coaches, and business courses, and all of that, I have so much trust in Christie and her team, so now I am a paying student! (Side note: the sound effects are very silly, but these folks can pull it off because they are so authentic. I think I missed the origin of the joke, but I still giggle every time I hear Bobbi Palmer’s theme.)

    Well Planned and Produced
    You can tell that host Christie Mims and her team put great thought and care into this well produced show that helps coaches build successful businesses. Every episode of Coach Pony is focused and well planned and each limited season focuses on a different topic. I’m especially enjoy the fourth season’s interviews with well known solopreneurs.

    Christy is the REAL thing…and she loves chocolate!
    I have to admit - I am one of her BARB clients. Christy is so generous she is with her information - and it is all so actionable and reasonable. really love Season 3 episode “How shiny objects slow down your coaching business”….because - well, I have my own version of shiny objects that I refer to as bunny trails and rabbit holes. (But really - all of Season three is amazing - and I have not gotten to season 4 yet!) The CoachPony Podcast only scratches the surface of all the amazing coach helpful training that is in her brain but it’s enough to get any coach started in building a real business for themselves.

    Great Coaching community & podcast!
    What an amazing team to collaborate with! When it comes to the Coaching world, there are many who commune, and I must say my experience with Christie, Sean and the entire Coach Pony community has been incredibly positive. On behalf of Coaches everywhere, continue the great work! We need more supportive communities like this! ~ Laëtitia, Aligned Corporate Experiences. 🎙

    Great marketing ideas!
    I am getting so much out of this podcast. Christie offers great marketing advice that applies to a lot more than coaches. Listen to Coach Pony and transform your business!!!

    Practical, Solid advice every single time
    Christie lays it all out in a straightforward and honest way. I’ve learned so much from her and have adopted so many of the tips she shares on the podcast. My group program is going well in large part because I listened to her and not the overnight success coaches that seem to be taking over the internet.
  • coachaly
    Simple SOLID advice every new coach needs
    Believe me when I say, Christie is the ONLY person you need to listen to while you build your business. Take it from someone who’s done ALL the programs (or at least it feels that way). I was purchasing programs to help me start my coaching business, only to find them filled with a lot of fancy lingo and little guts. Then I found Christie Mims and BARB and I swear to you, the angles started to sing. THIS IS WHAT I NEEDED ALL ALONG! Christie had a way of cutting through the crap and giving you what you actually need… simple solid advice. Any roadblock you can think of, Christie has an answer and a way of making it seem easy and less daunting then you think it is. She also recommends wine and chocolate while building your business, so I’m pretty sure she’s my spirit animal.
  • BeStrongerThanYourExcuse
    Great delivery and valuable content!
    Christie does such a great job of delivering information, tips, and stories that every new coach needs to hear! She is super easy to listen to and very down to earth. Great job Christie! Keep the episodes coming!
  • bebbp
    Every new coach needs Christie’s advice & teaching
    There are so many coach’s coaches out there, but Christie is absolutely the best. Her podcasts are jam-packed with such tangible, brilliant advice. Don’t try to start your coaching business without her.
  • BIGSKYcoach_lisa_gillette
    Lose the FEAR! Write your book!!!
    Loving Christie Mims’ warm, practical, step by step approach to writing, marketing and launching your first book(traditional or self publishing). Last month I was offered a book deal by Skyhorse publishing. I’ve always wanted to write a book on “Mental Toughness for Women in the Workspace”. Signed the contract, sat down at the keyboard and then my inner critic roared in…SOS!!! Thankfully Coach Pony to the rescue! This podcast is a “must listen” for every coach writing their first book. YES! YOU CAN DO IT, and Christie is here to show you how!
  • ELT1977MIA
    Finally, a biz course for coaches!
    When I found the Coach Pony podcast a few mere weeks ago, I was hooked after listening to the first episode and binge listened the rest within a week — and took many detailed notes because HELLO there’s so much great, practical, and immediately applicable business advice in every episode! I wish Coach Pony was around when I finished my coaching program two years ago. I missed the opportunity to enroll in this round of Christie’s BARB program, but am grateful for the podcast and other free material she offers and am not letting the next chance to sign up for Build a Real Business to pass me by! Thank you for this awesome podcast and all of the valuable advice you offer!!
  • Typical shopper
    Actually a helpful podcast!
    This podcast is full of good, solid advice that really helps! Although you can buy a full Coach Pony Program, which I imagine is amazing, you don’t have to to get some great advice right on the podcast. I would say Christie is an absolute Marketing genius. Why wouldn’t you want to learn from that? Luckily I don’t need to be a genius to understand the lessons she teaches. Highly recommend!
  • Better than Studio
    Insider Info for the Win
    I love all the insider info in this podcast! Christie gives the scoop on how to start a successful coaching biz, there’s so much good stuff in here, and some great stories too!
  • @Sin60style

  • Jenine Kenna
    Exactly what I was looking for!
    I’m so glad I found Christie Mims and the Coach paint Podcast! There’s so much valuable information in each episode. I can’t wait to see what is coming next!!
  • RachelKuhl
    A MUST LISTEN FOR ALL NEW COACHES
    I’m thrilled Christie is doing a podcast. After attending her BARBer program and loving the sections where she talked to real coaches this podcast is a perfect extension to continue to learn and be inspired! Thanks Christie for continuing to inspire new coaches and grow this community!
  • Ericajahan
    So good and very grounded
    Just got finished with a few episodes and love it. Sometimes when folks talk about the coaching business and how you can get into it sustainably, it can feel like a distant possibility for me. Hearing these coaches talk about it in such a personal and grounded way is encouraging. Thank you and I will keep listening!
  • Chocolateist
    More Greatness from the Christie Mims
    Honestly, I’m no longer surprised how relatable and inviting Christie Mims is! She invites you into her story and allows you to see her as a real human (who loves chocolate) which is so important. Her experience and intellect isn’t saved just for the new coaches out there — no, everyone has something to learn from her. What’s even better is that she delivers in a way that’s warm, inviting and fun. You don’t know you’re learning, the ah-ha’s sneak up on you when Christie is around and it’s an incredible experience. This podcast is for the new coaches, the struggling coaches and the ones making 6 and 7 figure salaries — there’s gold nuggets for everyone. Again, it’s delivered in such a digestible way there’s really no cons to listening.
  • ChelSeattle

    Christie Knows her Stuff!
    I love listening to Christie. She is clear and knowledgable and fun to listen to. I’ve taken her BARB course and it’s really made a difference in my coaching business.

    Tremendous Resource
    This is what I love about Christie Mims and Coach Pony: so.much.value.and.great.advice. No nonsense. If you’re in the coaching business (or really looking to start a business of any kind) this podcast offers really solid advice you can actually use without all of the fluff.
  • KlaraGC

  • MelissaAn
    Great advice that actually works for coaches!
    Christie gives the absolute best advice - especially when it comes to coaching and building businesses that make money. This podcast is a must-listen if you want to build a real business - on your own terms.
  • jami413
    No bravado, pure relatability
    I just listened to the first episode. It gives me such peace of mind, even if just for seconds at a time, to hear how you had very similar inner talks. That fear... good gravy. I know the first time I did a sales call on the phone, I too was in a fetal position! Thank you for being vulnerable about the reality vs. how some talks I hear where the speaker is showing only bravado. You are super relatable! Love it!
  • JMG1706
    One of the best in the business
    Some podcasts are entertaining, others are informative. But every once in a while you find a podcast that is so much more...inspiring, insightful, and actionable. Coach Pony is all three. Christie Mims is a true expert and can tell you what it really takes to thrive as a coach in today’s market place.
  • TaraGentile
    Thank goodness someone is talking about this side of coaching!
    Christie gets that building a coaching business requires more than a pretty website or the desire to help people. And… that it doesn’t have to be so hard. I love how she’s focused on sharing how coaches build REAL businesses—not just the kind of thing that looks good on Instagram.
  • Wishing 4 more
    Solid and specific advice that actually works!
    I’ve been following Christie’s sage wisdom for nearly five years now and she NEVER disappoints. Christie’s a smart, seasoned coach who’s successful, business savvy…and funny! Listen to this podcast right now for tips and inspiration on how to build your coaching practice.
  • 12345drty
    Christie is amazing!!
    She is such a good interviewer. I was completely impressed by how she can interview a highly successful person and ask questions that people just starting out in coaching can relate to. Time listening was well spent. Bravo!!
  • Ashley N. Cash
    Do your business a favor-listen to Christie!

  • Jodi | Women Taking the Lead
    The podcast I wish existed when I was a new coach
    I remember my first year in coaching not having a clue about how to have a successful business. But I did have a huge passion to help people live an amazing life. Had this podcast been around back then I would have been taking notes as I listened. Even after over 10 years in business I got a couple of pointers from the first couple of episodes.

    Christie Mims in the consummate coach's coach. I have learned so much from her over the years in how to build and grow my business. Her podcast is a wonderful extension of her Coach Pony programs. Listen and learn. You won't be disappointed.

    Enlightening!
    Enlightening to those who like me would like to become a coach, but don’t know how. Thank you for sharing the nitty gritty of the coaching world.
  • MusicRuth
    Eye-opening, inspiring, validating!
    Eye-opening, inspiring, validating! Thank you for covering real-world examples of coaches in different niches. Focusing on a niche does make it easier to find and help clients, but choosing a niche can be scary at first!
