Why am I doing this?” In this episode, Nick speaks with Anastasia Vladychynska, a certified client experience consultant… or, “Service Pastor” as some call her. They discuss the impact of the war in Ukraine on business and personal life, the importance of reevaluating one's purpose in business, and the crisis of human connection in the entrepreneurial world. What to listen for: Many entrepreneurs focus on ego rather than genuine impact It's essential to ask why we do what we do in business Self-awareness is crucial in making business decisions Building real relationships can provide support during tough times Discipline is about making conscious choices in daily life Understanding personal motivations is key to fulfillment Pursuing dreams should not be postponed until later in life “We do get to ask ourselves this question, how do I want to live the rest of my life?” Pause and reflect—don't wait for a crisis to reassess your path You have permission to choose differently at any moment Long-term alignment starts with honest questions Living intentionally requires consistent self-check-ins Designing your life starts with asking why, not how “Ask yourself what can I do for myself right now, a little thing, a small thing that will make me feel better.” Tiny actions can shift your entire mood or mindset Self-care doesn’t have to be big to be powerful Comfort can come from everyday things—use them Emotional resilience is built through small daily choices Little joys are survival tools, not indulgences About Anastasia Vladychynska Anastasia is a certified client strategy consultant specializing in helping coaches retain their clients.

I'm your host, Nick McGowan. Today on the show we have Anastasia Wladysińska. Anastasia, how are doing today? Anastasia Vladychynska (00:16.686)Tussowsnik! Nick (00:17.89)I'm good, I'm good. I know I just said today, but you had also just told me it's like basically 10 30 where you're at right now. You're the other side of the world from where I am. And I appreciate you jumping on. Why don't you get us started because I instantly want to get in different things that we were talking about, but tell us who you are, what you do for a living and what's one thing most people don't know about you that's maybe a little odd or bizarre. Anastasia Vladychynska (00:25.795)yesterday. Anastasia Vladychynska (00:42.298)I'm Anastasia Vodichenska. I am a certified client experience consultant. And right now I share my time between London and Kiev, okay? Before I was just Kiev and we will talk about that as well. And so basically I help corporate businesses and entrepreneurs to improve two things, their client retention or employer retention. That's on the surface. Going deeper, I help them to… I call it to transform, yes, buzzword, I know, but it is the truthful one in this case, to transform into a truly service company. Okay. Not just talk about it. The bizarre thing would be, I think my entrepreneurship started when I was seven years old and there were those cartoons on a TV, the Christian cartoons, and I would watch the cartoons and then they would say, if you send us a drawing, then we will send you the little books for kids, the Christian books for free. So I would send them the drawings, they would send me back the books and then I would sell them. So I don't know if that's an early start of my entrepreneurship. Kind of embarrassed now, but yeah, it is what it is. Nick (01:43.747)Mm. Nick (01:53.858)That is wonderful. Nick (02:00.652)Why? That's awesome. They gave you something for free. Doesn't Jesus want us all? Touche. Yeah. That's a trade off. That's a cool thing. Especially for you to be like, well, I could read through this and I could draw on it or I can sell it to my friends in the neighborhood. Why not? Anastasia Vladychynska (02:05.688)Well, no, for free I actually gave them the drawing. Gave them the drawing. you know, like, if I were to become a Michelangelo, then exactly. Anastasia Vladychynska (02:23.898)I know, yeah, here comes the business plan, yeah. Nick (02:27.598)So, I know based on what we're talking about, even the information you sent over and all of that from the top level of you help different businesses and you help them be more service based. I want to be really crystal clear with this right now that this isn't just a standard coach that's doing standard coachy things, coaching other coaches about coaching coaches, coach, coach, coach. It's really about what we were talking about before hitting record of actually seeing people as people and being human from that perspective. But right now, while we're talking about this, you were telling me that, I don't know what 48 hours ago you were sleeping in a bed that was actually porcelain and most people bathe in because of a war going on around you. So when we talk about business, we can't not talk about life. Anastasia Vladychynska (03:15.694)Yeah. Yeah, Nick (03:24.814)because it is all intertwined. But I think a lot of people spend too much time talking about just the business thing and the hustle and the grind and all of that instead of actually seeing what the fuck is going on on the planet right now. And are you doing the work that you're here to do or are you just grinding along trying to sell shit to people because you just think you need to sell shit to people. So take it and run. Anastasia Vladychynska (03:40.026)you Anastasia Vladychynska (03:47.61)So good, so good, Nick. So yes, I am Ukrainian and before the war in Ukraine, had a seven figure business before it became mainstream and I never talked about it. I just had it because I tried to actually do what I preach in my business as well. But I was, I love what you just said, because I was so focused on, you Nick (03:59.672)Hmm. Nick (04:06.414)What an idea. Anastasia Vladychynska (04:16.526)being more. Do you know that book which is like, what's the name of that book? One More Thing? Is that the name of One More Something? So basically the book tells you that you have to do more and all of it, how to be more effective, how to be more productive. I went to every possible training on that one. My team, I have a team of people because my agency is already, this year it was 10 years anniversary, so it's good, right? And yeah. Nick (04:18.499)Hmm. Nick (04:23.0)Mm-hmm. Nick (04:41.186)Hmm. Well. Anastasia Vladychynska (04:43.95)We had a word of the year. The word was perseverance all the time. It was like every time management course, every book is like boom, boom. How many more things I can get into the day. You know, let's do a book. I had one of the dreams was to be on a TV and yes, I got there. I got into Forbes, all of it, all of it. And then when the war hit, I asked myself a question. Why am I doing this? Nick (05:13.314)Yeah. Anastasia Vladychynska (05:14.01)Like why? And my calendar was so full and of course everything stopped because back then 80 % of my business was in Ukraine. So imagine this. 80 % of the business stops and you ask yourself a question of, wait, wait, why was I doing what I was doing before? And if you ask this to a consultant or a coach or an entrepreneur, they would tell you because I want to change the world, because I want to impact the world, all of it. Now, are you guys ready for the real? Nick (05:23.107)Hmm. Anastasia Vladychynska (05:43.872)answer. At least it was the real answer for me. But then when I talk to my friends, successful entrepreneurs, they will say the same. They'll say so much of it is just for our own ego. Nick (05:54.104)Yeah. Anastasia Vladychynska (05:56.442)So all of this, I want to do a TEDx, I want to write a book, because I want to impact. Not always. I just put it this way, not always. So yeah, so what you said, Nick, it's not just about everybody has to know what's going on in Ukraine, in Gaza, da da. I mean, yes, it would be great because then it gives us, it's hard to manipulate someone who knows shit, right? The more we know, the more we travel, the harder we are to manipulate. So I do agree on that one. At the same time, Nick (06:17.58)Mm-hmm. Anastasia Vladychynska (06:25.626)I don't expect everybody to know what's going on in Ukraine, or in Gaza, I don't expect them. But what I would encourage is to ask yourself before you want to have your calendar totally booked, ask yourself why am I doing this? Why am I booking all this calendar? Do I really want to be working 24 to 7? Because now I have a list of my dreams and I'm not working 24 to 7.
