Your badass coaching Masterclass Sensei (guides, facilitators, teachers, mentors, coaches) are—

  1. Bob Galen (content author and lead Guide)

  2. Peter Fischbach (Guide)

Both Peter & Bob will typically be in each session.

We also plan to invite “special guests” to some sessions. For example, in our first Masterclass, Michelle Pauk and Mark Summers were “Special Guests” for the entire class.
