In this short Episode 0, we introduce ourselves and share why we created Command the Room Coaching. You’ll hear a little about our backgrounds, what pushed us to start this work, and what we want this podcast to do for you. It’s less than two minutes, just enough to set the tone and give you a sense of who you’re hearing from before you jump into the real episodes.

Most people agree mentorship matters, but few know how to actually find mentors who work for them. In this episode, Trey and Allie dig into what makes mentorship effective, why it’s so often misunderstood, and how to show up as a mentee who actually grows.

They’ll talk about the biggest mistakes people make when asking for mentorship, how to identify someone who’s the right fit (not just the most successful person you know), and the underrated skill that separates great mentors from mediocre ones: emotional intelligence.

You’ll also learn practical ways to build the relationship, keep it sustainable, and eventually pay it forward. Whether you’re looking for a mentor or ready to become one, this episode will help you make mentorship a meaningful part of your leadership journey.

Leaving a job isn’t always about walking away: sometimes it’s about growing where you are. In this episode of Command the Room Coaching, Trey and Allie share two very different paths around the same question: when is it time to move on, and when is it time to stay?

Trey opens up about moments he considered leaving a long-standing career and what ultimately kept him there, while Allie reflects on her own series of career changes that led her to meaningful work. Together, they unpack the emotional, practical, and leadership lessons behind one of the toughest decisions professionals face.

If you’ve been questioning your next step, this conversation will help you find clarity and remind you that both staying and leaving can be powerful choices when made with purpose.
