You started your coaching business to help people—not to spend hours scheduling calls, chasing invoices, and managing emails. But somehow, the admin work never stops. You’ve probably thought about automating some of it, but you don’t want your business to feel impersonal or “robotic.”
That’s exactly where Joe Casabona found himself. As a former software engineer turned solopreneur, he thought working harder was the answer—until he nearly burned out. That’s when he discovered that automation isn’t about doing less—it’s about making space for what matters most. In this episode, he shares how to use automation to save time without losing the personal touch.
By the End of This Episode, You’ll Know:
✅ Why automating doesn’t mean losing the personal touch. Most coaches think automation makes things feel robotic—but done right, it actually strengthens client relationships.
✅ The biggest automation mistake coaches make. You’re probably automating the wrong things (or avoiding the things that could save you the most time).
✅ How to know when to automate vs. delegate. If you think you can’t afford automation or a VA, this episode will completely shift your perspective.
✅ The easiest automations to start with—even if you’re not tech-savvy. These simple tweaks will free up hours this week, without complicated software or hiring a team.
About Joe Casabona:
Joe Casabona knows what it’s like to be overwhelmed by the business side of coaching. After leaving his corporate job to work for himself, he quickly realized he was spending more time on admin than his actual work. That’s when he started using automation to cut out the busywork—and everything changed.
Now, Joe helps business owners streamline their processes so they can focus on what actually moves the needle.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
