Meet Ari & Phil.
Ari Meisel has coached hundreds using async over 7+ years and built the model from the ground up.
Phil Drinkwater is new to async, bringing insights from ADHD-focused coaching and real-time adoption.
What is async coaching and how did Ari get started?
Ari shifted from weekly calls to async to handle more clients and reduce time strain. It started as an experiment using Voxer—and clients immediately said yes.
He quickly found he could coach 6 clients in 20 minutes a day, without losing depth.
Why async beats traditional coaching—for everyone.
Coaches respond more thoughtfully, clearly, and intentionally. Clients open up with timely, deeper insights.
Trust builds faster without live pressure.
What problems does async coaching solve?
Clients can express thoughts in real time, before they forget. Coaches respond when energy and focus are highest.
Frequent, smaller shifts are easier to act on than big leaps.
How do you practically roll out async coaching?
Give clients the choice: wait weeks for a call or start async today. Use a personal link (like talkto[you].com) to make entry effortless.
Prompt the conversation—most people switch once they experience the speed and depth.
How do you help clients get comfortable?
Ask a simple question to spark conversation and show how async works. Reinforce the benefits—faster and more thoughtful replies, transcripts, and ongoing support.
Reframe async as having a "coach in your pocket" for real-time access.
How does async coaching support habit-building and accountability?
Clients hear from their coach more often—daily or weekly—without pressure. Ongoing voice threads help reinforce goals and keep progress visible.
Group broadcasts and nudges offer lightweight, scalable accountability.
How do you price async coaching when it's "unlimited"?
Price based on impact, not hours—clients pay for results, not time. Unlimited async access doesn't mean constant use, just flexible support.
Tiered options can add structured sync time for teams or partners.
Does async coaching actually save time?
Short, flexible replies replace long, scheduled sessions. You can listen, reflect, and respond on your own time—even while multitasking.
Set no fixed response times—clients naturally adjust based on message length.
How do you structure your day for async messages?
Messages are handled between tasks—like during walks, chores, or drives. Multitasking actually improves focus, especially for ADHD minds.
AI summaries reduce the need to relisten, saving time and mental energy.
What challenges or surprises came with adopting async coaching?
Going "unlimited" felt risky at first, but actually improved time use and flexibility. Async makes it easier to qualify leads and repurpose conversations into content.
Biggest surprise: coaching while walking, pacing, or doing chores boosts thinking.
Why choose Carbon Voice as your async coaching platform?
