If You Can Compete in a Bikini, You Can Build a Business: Lessons in Fearless Leadership

What do beach volleyball, Bermuda, and business breakthroughs have in common?

Meet Allison Lacoursiere—former national athlete turned powerhouse entrepreneur—who’s proving that mindset, not just hustle, is the real game-changer. In this episode, she shares how she built a thriving coaching business during a global shutdown, why she ditched the burnout grind, and how showing up fully as herself unlocked her biggest wins yet.

In this episode, Tyler Jorgenson sits down with the powerhouse behind Clear Coaching to unpack her journey from small-town Alberta to managing a multimillion-dollar dental office by age 24. But that was just her warm-up. Fueled by mindset mastery and a desire to create more than just systems, Allison launched her own coaching business—in the middle of a pandemic, no less—and never looked back.

They dive deep into the gritty, unfiltered realities of entrepreneurship: imposter syndrome, work-life blend, and knowing when it’s time to shut down a business that doesn’t serve your soul anymore. Allison gets candid about her own burnout, her obsession with hustle culture, and how balancing masculine structure with feminine intuition completely transformed her approach to business—and life.

Whether you're a woman in business craving alignment or an entrepreneur stuck on autopilot, this conversation delivers clarity, laughter, and practical mindset shifts. Allison’s upcoming book, her journey to saying yes only to what lights her up, and her powerful insight about embodying your future self makes this a must-listen for anyone ready to stop surviving and start thriving.
