Wes “Ehnert” Carfi: Sales Leader to Career Coach to Standup Comedian

In Episode 29 of the Clocking Out podcast, we hear the inspiring journey of Wes Ehnert Carfi, a former sales leader who made a bold leap from a successful career in advertising sales to embracing his true passions for coaching, music, and comedy. Born and raised in New Jersey to a large Italian family with over 40 cousins, Wes was an entertainer at heart from an early age—whether it was through music, comedy, or sports. He was inspired by his mom’s unique ability to make people laugh. 

After decades of sales experience, Wes began to recognize his true calling as a coach, leveraging his deep interest in helping others grow. He earned his professional coaching certification from Northwestern University, where he honed his skills in organizational and leadership coaching. Wes now uses his expertise to help individuals break free from limiting beliefs and self-imposed barriers, fostering psychological safety and trust to allow for deep self-exploration.

However, Wes’s journey didn’t stop there. After facing multiple layoffs due to reductions in force, he decided to take a courageous leap into coaching full time. He also entered the entertainment world by changing his name to Wes Carfi, he jumped into stand-up comedy and music, pursuing his passions with authenticity and purpose.

In this episode, Wes shares the powerful lessons he’s learned along the way—from coaching professionals to finding his own breakthrough moments in music and comedy.
