In this episode of Founders Future, with host Olivia Sammons, we sit down with Debra Armstrong M.Ed., the founder of NexxtLevel Careers. Debra shares her journey from providing outplacement services at a major firm to launching her own career coaching practice, driven by a desire to help not just those who were laid off, but any professional seeking meaningful growth and transition. She delves into the critical mindset shifts required for entrepreneurship and the importance of taking action, even when self-doubt creeps in.

Debra breaks down the "proactive vs. reactive" job search strategy, revealing that up to 70% of roles are filled without ever seriously considering public applications. She introduces her flagship program, Your Job Search Playbook, a comprehensive system designed to give professionals the tools, confidence, and competitive edge needed to navigate today's challenging market. We also discuss her vision for scaling by bringing on additional coaches and the game-changing role of tools like GoHighLevel and AI in running a modern coaching business.
