Trust Is Earned | Stefano Cantali

Trust Is Earned | Stefano Cantali What does it take to build a career—and a reputation—that lasts? On this episode of Always Coachable, Sandy Cohan sits down with Stefano Cantali, former Division I hockey player and CEO of AHA — Advancement Hockey Agency, for a conversation about hockey, leadership, mentorship, business, and the relationships that shape us along the way. Stefano shares his journey from growing up around the game in Montreal to playing college hockey and overseas in Europe, navigating injuries and adversity, and eventually making the transition from player to advisor and CEO. They dig into why authenticity matters, why the best coaches and advisors aren't afraid to tell players the truth, and why trust is built through honesty—not promises or telling people what they want to hear. Stefano also opens up about building a company around shared values, supporting athletes beyond the rink, balancing family with a demanding career, and why the people who continue learning are often the ones who continue growing. 🎙️ New episodes of Always Coachable every week.
