June 16, 2025·42 min·2 clips

Angelica Pompey says, "you can take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it."

1. The Laylee Emadi Podcast episode focuses on shared responsibility between coaches and students in coaching, courses, memberships, VIP days, and masterminds. 2. Laylee Emadi hosts Angelica Pompey, a business coach and marketing strategist, and Jamie Fisher, who runs a six-month-old membership and one-to-one coaching. 3. The episode asks what responsibility belongs to the educator and what belongs to the client when people want real results. 4. Angelica says her offers include Business Church, one-to-one coaching behind the scenes, and VIP days for focused strategy work. 5. Jamie says her membership teaches clients how to pull the numbers that matter, forecast for their businesses, and identify industry trends. 6. Laylee says both guests invest in education themselves through events, coaches, masterminds, the Creative Educator Conference, and the Educators Lounge. 7. The opening disclaimer says the discussion is not about bashing the coaching industry or bashing students. 8. Jamie describes the coach as someone who lays out the roadmap while the student still has to drive it and take action. 9. Angelica echoes that point with "you can take a horse to water, but you can't make them drink it." 10. Angelica says she recently bought a retreat course, binged it in three days, and mapped out a January 2026 retreat. 11. She says that purchase helped her see what happens when a student shows up for herself and gets rewarded. 12. Jamie says she bought a money coach program but later realized she needed a different kind of support for her business. 13. She describes the program as useful but not the right level, saying she needed something beyond "level two." 14. Angelica says she once bought a $7,000, six-month program right before hosting a March conference and realized the timing was wrong. 15. She emailed the educator's team, owned the mistake, and asked for options instead of pretending it was the coach's fault. 16. Jamie says feedback should start with clarity, humility, and specific questions about whether the curriculum fits how a person learns. 17. Laylee says the strongest student feedback comes from reflection, self-awareness, and asking whether the issue is the student, the curriculum, or the delivery. 18. Jamie says a coach should ask for feedback after the program, not only send a congratulations email and move on. 19. The conversation stays conversational and practical, with candid examples, direct advice, and a collaborative back-and-forth format. 20. Coaches, educators, and students who want practical accountability and fit will benefit most, while people looking for a theory-only discussion may skip it.

As heard by us

A practical conversation about accountability on both sides of the coaching table.

Shared responsibility sits at the center of this episode. The discussion stays on coaching, client responsibilities, and the small habits that help both sides set themselves up for success. It does not chase a big inspirational arc.
