Episode 185: Coaching 3.0: AI and Mind Bugs with Calvin Correli
What if the biggest thing holding you back is something called a “mind bug”? On this episode of The Future of Teamwork, Dane Groeneveld is joined by Calvin Correli, founder and CEO of Simplero, a fully integrated platform that helps coaches transform lives at scale. Calvin shares his journey of building a bootstrapped software company that’s helped customers generate hundreds of millions in revenue – and why his focus today goes far beyond business growth.
Calvin and Dane then dive into mind bugs – the subconscious loops that sabotage your growth. Calvin gives Dane a real-time coaching session on how his mind bugs are holding him back – and how reframing those mind bugs can be life-changing. They also explore how leaders can create environments where people feel safe to take risks without lowering standards. Finally, they examine how AI doesn’t have an edge on today’s coaches.
If you’ve ever felt stuck between who you were and who you’re becoming, this conversation will hit home.

Guest Bio
Calvin Correli works from a single premise: Your outer world—your business, your wealth, your impact is a direct reflection of your inner code.
This philosophy is the foundation of Simplero, the all-in-one engine that has generated $881M+ for sovereign creators. It stands as proof that scale comes from debugging your inner code, not from endlessly complicating your outer systems.
As the Mind Debugger, he now teaches founders how to find and dismantle the “Mind Bugs”—the invisible code that sabotages their growth—so they can build their empire on true alignment, not hustle and borrowed playbooks.
