This week, we wrap up Season 2 with a significant milestone - our 100th episode! To celebrate, we're having fan favorite Mark Ross return to interview Winston about his entrepreneurial journey to creating, For Love of Team.
“You know the term “For love of the Game”?
I was on a walk one day, and somehow, it just came to my mind that for love of team was what I was missing as the CEO of a very successful multi-million dollar company.
I had started a business because I had an idea of how I could help other people with a product and a service that I loved. When that was established, I moved to loving the client. I wanted to give them the ultimate experience that was just as good or not better than the product itself. I knew that if they had a great experience with what we were offering it would help us win more business.
But I only kept my focus right there.
Instead of looking at my team as the foundation of our success, I saw them as an impediment to being more creative and serving our clients.
More often than I should have I took the side of the client. Even though our team had a good process, had good boundaries, and good guardrails, they were to blame if client expectations were not met.
My team was looking for how we could protect the quality of the service, they were looking for ways to protect and scale how we could do it. And I would inevitably take the side of the client and I put our team under tremendous pressure.
That works for maybe a short season, but if that's constantly the culture that you're creating - it's a toxic work culture. That was a reflection of me as a toxic leader back then.
Now I see our work here at ‘For Love of Team’ as a redemption story. Helping founders and leaders avoid the mistakes I made and instead multiplying their impact and income by…
Doing work you love, in a business you love, with a team you love.”

Amy Alexander is Co-Founder and Executive Director of The Refuge Center for Counseling in Franklin, Tennessee, where the Center serves more than 30,000 counseling sessions to over 4,000 clients annually.
As a nonprofit, Amy is always wrestling with how to retain quality people on her team. And for her, it's the culture they create day-to-day that retains the best people.
Amy encourages and supports culture through her ‘Three C’s approach’ of connection, character, and continuous growth within the organization.
“Our team has to be the first priority and Client Services has to be the second priority. Because if we're not healthy, if we're not in a good place, if we're not taking care of ourselves and one another, then the quality of our work is not going to be what it should be. And our clients deserve us to be at our best.”
- Amy Alexander
She has a very unique way of framing leadership and culture and values within her organization by modeling a ‘servant first perspective’.

In this week’s episode, we're chatting with Dr. Kristy Goodwin who is on a mission to promote employee wellbeing and bolster workplace productivity. With the pandemic accelerating the work from home (WFH) movement, how we work online and how we disconnect while living in the same place is more important than ever.
“I've never had a genius idea looking in my inbox or working in an Excel spreadsheet. I have most certainly had one when I've been swimming or been for a run, or in the shower. And this is because our brain needs that mind-wandering mode. And we just don't get enough of that because we now fill every moment of whitespace with a digital device.” - Dr. Kristy Goodwin
Put simply, she helps people thrive online.
We have all accepted that technology is an integral part of our professional and our personal lives to the point that it's impacting our physical and mental health. We also know that it's having a very significant and pronounced impact on our productivity.
Kristy studies how our brain and body operate in this digital landscape. She takes research and science on this issue and translates it into practical realistic strategies that people can use to utilize technology in a way that aligns with our neurobiology.
Listen to our full episode to see how Kristy works with companies to help teams with their digital well-being by implementing her peak performance strategies in this digital landscape.

In this week’s episode, we're continuing our series on how values drive success in business. We are chatting with industry experts to gain their insight on developing Core Values that create a winning team.
We're bringing back one of our favorite guests Victoria Mininger, Founder of Bear Creek Outdoor Living. Victoria strives to see each one of her team members thrive, learn, and grow. She shares her journey on how this core value became such a centerpiece of her business.
“*We (my husband and I) once had employers that saw us for who we were, and not just what we brought to the table, they cared for us greatly. That left a definitive mark on our life.
When we started this company, I said to myself, I want to treat people the way that I was treated during my career. We have learned over the years that when we care for people, the rest takes care of itself. And when we do that, we serve our clients even better.
It's wanting to have a greater mission and reason for existing other than just getting to the next great project or bringing in revenue. All of those are great, but what I want to leave behind is the impact I've had on people, because other people have impacted me in such a great way*”. -- Victoria Mininger
Our episode with Victoria does a deep dive into how when we care for our teams we empower them to find greatness in themselves, and how this leads to a business that can gain success beyond the bottom line.

In this week’s episode, we're continuing our series on how values drive success in business. We are chatting with industry experts to gain their insight on developing Core Values that create a winning team.
We're bringing back one of our favorite guests Craig Wood, CEO of Premier International. Craig is a seasoned CEO and Board member who understands how to get the best out of a company and its employees. He is passionate about personal development for his team and the impact that culture has on a company, its growth and its eventual success.
As leaders, you make the best decisions you can with imperfect data. And then you ask your team to commit to it. And that's what one team united is about. It's about agreeing. It's about committing. And it's about being aligned. And that's certainly what we have built here.
Our episode with Craig a few months ago is what spurred this core value series and how drilling into how our corporate values drive day-to-day action, brings alignment to our team, and delivers an excellent client experience.

On this week's podcast we introduce a new interview series where we will be chatting with industry experts to gain their insight on developing Core Values that create a winning team.
We kick off this interview series with Teresa McCloy -- a Certified Coach, Speaker, and Enneagram Professional.
Teresa was once a workaholic who spent much of her time looking for affirmation through her productivity. After her family experienced a personal crisis, Teresa knew it was time to look inward and work through her need to always take on more. During this journey, she was able to find her REALSELF and is now helping others do the same through her REALIFE Process program.
We talk to Teresa about core values and her own breaking points of when she realized she needed to depend on other people to achieve the success she was envisioning for herself.
On this week’s episode, we discuss how by building a business from a state of ‘love’ you will see your success grow exponentially.
When you surround yourself with people working in their gifting and focused on a common mission, not only do you get to spend more time working where you're most gifted, but you also create this virtuous cycle where your clients are being loved and your product just keeps getting better.
So, as a leader where can you show love in your business?
Love of Product: Face it, most of us founders are “idea” people.
We love to solve problems, seize opportunities, and create solutions. Yet, we often have more ideas than bandwidth. But there’s something about seeing a solution that others cannot see and bringing that to the marketplace.
Love of Clients: You finally get traction. Money is starting to flow and now your idea is serving others.
The focus begins to shift to creating a client experience as good as your original product idea or service. We know what a remarkable client experience feels like and we’re committed to delivering for our clients.
Love of Team: Your client experience will only rise to the level of your team’s satisfaction in your business. Your client can always feel it when they work with people that love what they do.
You surround yourself with people working in their gifting, focused on a common mission, so you can spend more of your time working where you are most gifted.
A business you love, supported by a team you love. What could be better than that?

Hall of Fame.
Shrines to outstanding achievement. A place to remember and recognize legends in sports, business and arts. Many of these accomplishments focus on individual accomplishments. Others recognize a team effort.
Imagine for a moment, what it would be like to be on a HOF team.
In this week’s episode, I’d like to focus on another use of the letters HOF. It’s the opposite of Hall of Fame work. Can you guess what this HOF stands for?
Hair on Fire.
What does the “Hair On Fire” organization look like?
- The urgent items of the day overtakes the important tasks
- We have back to back to back Zoom meetings with little to no breaks
- If internal emails are not responded to immediately, it’s a sign of disrespect
- The shiny new object bumps last week’s priorities
- Every situation seems to require a custom response
- There are multiple answers to the question what’s our mission
- Little accountability for others deadlines
- Every person for themselves
Often, the visionary leader is a significant contributor to a HOF team. Once I worked for a leader who loved “ideation”, he prided himself on being able to generate lots of solutions to issues. He’d say, “I can always come up with 20 ideas, I throw them against the wall and hopefully one of them will stick”.
If you’ve ever worked with a leader like this, you know how exhausting it can be. Last week, our priority for the quarter was hitting our sales goals. This week, it is redoing the website and marketing plan. The visionary always has more ideas than bandwidth. Many severely underestimate the time interval it takes to complete a task, so once delegated, they are moving onto the next visionary initiative.

In this week’s episode, we talk about a familiar expression that founders and leaders of businesses often face. “It’s lonely at the top”.
Tim Cook, CEO of Apple famously said, “It’s sort of a lonely job. The adage that it’s lonely — the CEO job is lonely — is accurate in a lot of ways. I’m not looking for any sympathy. You have to recognize that you have blind spots. We all do.”
As Cook notes, it’s in these blind spots where the feeling of loneliness can be most apparent.
As a business grows, a founder can no longer keep up wearing all of the hats so a TEAM begins to form.
Even with the most capable leadership team, there is only ONE person who has their mind on the team -- YOU the founder. And in many established organizations, the founder/CEO is also the only person with a deep, historic understanding of all of the key performance indicators (KPIs) over time.
Many leadership team members know their part but they don’t see the entire picture in the same way you do -- blending an overall mastery of the individual trends with the context and history of the road that brings you to this moment in your business, which can leave you feeling isolated.
There is a way to NOT be lonely at the top - We call it UNLOCK Innovation™
UNLOCK Innovation™ starts by rounding up the data points which tell the story about your business over the past 3-5 years. And over a two-day intensive workshop, we unpack those metrics, discovering trends and coming to a shared understanding about which ones are most important to the business.

In this week’s episode, I want to share a hard lesson from my time leading a team of 30 people distributed across four time zones.
A popular acronym from that time was MBWA (Management by Wandering Around).
It was the practice of leaders wandering around the office, in an unstructured manner, at random, to check with employees, equipment, or on the status of ongoing work.
One of the greatest benefits to the WFH (work from home) movement is that it has dramatically reduced the interruptions of MBWA by both leaders AND team members.
So, what’s happening instead? A new flavor of OCD (Omni-Channel Demands).
We now sense this unwritten expectation to be always available in real time, nearly around the clock.
Our ability to have focused time to work within our gifting and our purpose is competing with incessant notifications and unwritten expectations from everyone from the top to the bottom to reply immediately.
Back when I managed that team of 30 people we worked together to define communication guidelines across the team that gave everyone space to breathe. Those same methods can be used in today's new WFH landscape.
Want to know how we executed this plan? Listening to our full episode!
What would it be like to have a 24/7 coach for each of your team members?
On this week’s podcast episode we talk about how you can achieve this.
Core value statements serve as a 24/7 coach to your team members, providing practical guidance for how you and your team show up for one another, and how you handle your clients and your customers.
Imagine having a set of core values so well stated and clear that you no longer have to be the go-to person in every situation that comes up in your organization.
To have this effect you need to ensure that your core values are memorable, intuitive, and simplifying.
Team members who are self-aware and growth-oriented want to find alignment with your business values and their own. Not only do they want to see it in writing, but they also want to experience it in their day-to-day work.
It fortifies their why for working with you.
If you’re not willing to use your core values to hire people, help those people improve, and ultimately fire people who don't align with these values, you're going to lose a lot of good people as a result.

In this week’s podcast episode, we dig into two essential leadership decisions in business, creating a compelling why and a clear what to build a team you love. But before you can define these, you need to be clear on your mission, vision, and values.
Why does this matter? Without defining your business's purpose first, you won't be able to clearly define the what and why of your team’s purpose. By doing so you create a feeling of vagueness and disconnection between the person and the goal.
A company vision reveals what your business hopes to be, and hopes to achieve over the long term.
A mission statement describes what your organization needs to do to achieve that vision.
Company values explain how you're going to achieve your vision and mission by implementing a set of beliefs into your team's day-to-day tasks.
Overall, these values help shape a team member’s experience, and through their experience you develop strong relationships with your clients, customers, partners, and providers.
So what are your vision, mission, and value statements for your business? Are they strong enough to build a team you love?

Hiring is a business cost that I can't afford right now.
In this week’s episode , we get to the problem faced the most by solopreneurs building their very first team, the cost.
Let us ask you, what kind of cost is hiring?
Do you look at a gym membership as just a cost? or an investment in your future health?
Is your mortgage a household cost? Or an investment in your future?
So is hiring a team a business cost? Or is it an investment in you? We’d argue it's the latter.
Think about your time, it is a non-renewable resource. We will both leave this earth at some point, and every moment that ticks by is a moment that we never get back.
Freeing your time up produces multiples on your investment by allowing you to focus on the tasks that you do best and that only you can do.
You also get another return, you get to lean into the confidence that your skills, your gifting as a leader, which will gain you more confidence, more gifting, more time doing what only you can do.
And the funny thing is, these tasks we dread or procrastinate on or are not gifted at, there are hundreds of people and businesses who love doing this work.
They're gifted in areas where you're not, so they're delivering value, and results that are multiples of what you could do within your gifting and your resources.
So what would you like to do? Would you like to focus on this as a short-term cost? Or start thinking about building a team that you love?
It has nothing to do with your checking account. It has everything to do with your belief and willingness to bet on yourself.

In this episode we do a deep dive on this question:
What does it cost to do everything yourself?
The bottom line is that as the leader of your organization, doing something you don't like or are not good at is the largest expense to your company, bar none.
This is because there's 10 times more energy and time wasted trying to master a new skill, or procrastinating on the action due to lack of interest or time.
Therefore, when you start to create a team, you're already getting a 10x return on your investment. The talent that you bring in is going to free you up for the tasks only you can do.
So how do you start? There are four simple steps for hiring that first person:
1) Define success: We use a tool within our business we call Multiplier Max.
- What is the desired result?
- Why will this make a difference?
- What are the consequences for NOT taking action?
- What are the benefits OF taking action?
- What does success look like? (Observable)
2) Value of the role: What time will this free up for you and how will you grow the business with this newfound time? Put a dollar value on this per month.
3) Develop a single page overview of the role. Using the work you’ve done to this point. Add your company mission/vision/values (if known). Share this role with friends, team members, colleagues and ask for recommendations and referrals.
4) Pay them for a small, time bound project. Give them a real world, tangible project to do that you would like help with. Compensate them fairly for that project. See how they interact with you and how they deliver on the project. The project should take 1-2 weeks, max.
Hiring is a decision that every business goes through and I think it's better to take these steps early so you have the space and time to excel where you are needed most.

“Here's the deadline and this is how I want you to do it. And if you don't do it the way I want, you may have to do it over and over until it’s right.”
As a team member, there's nothing more demotivating than this. A+ talent will not hang around to find out what the next job is and the step by step ‘how’ you want it done.
In today's podcast episode we explore leadership methods, and how one can lead to a spiral of unenjoyment and damaged working relationships, while the other can set you and your team up for continued success.
Delegation is a kind of a top-down experience: we're giving people the leftovers---telling them how work is to be done, often in an area where we’re not our best. Whereas, collaboration creates a win-win situation that allows our teammates to thrive using the gifts where they are most talented.
How can we create this kind of collaboration within our teams and kick the word delegation to the curb? It's a four-step process.
- Clarify what the desired result of this role or project or assignment looks like.
- Follow this up with why this role makes a difference.
- List the consequences of not taking action and the benefits of taking action now.
- Pick a future point,(whether it's three months, six months, or twelve months away) and then list out four to six success criteria for this role or position to complete in this time.
Now notice, the word ‘how’ is not used in any of these descriptions? We leave the ‘how’ to the team member we’ve hand-selected because this IS their area of expertise.

Six years ago, Winston Faircloth stepped down from the technology organization he helped to build over a 15 year period. As a founder, one of the hardest things you can do is to “let your baby go”.
Yet, the prior 12 months had been filled with turmoil and internal discord -- it was no longer fun, senior leaders were at odds with one another, and the organization was experiencing higher than normal turnover.
After an extensive search process, UPIC Solutions found their new leader from within. J.R. Howard had a front-row seat to the chaos and decided in advance there was a better way to lead. A people-first way.
In this revealing interview, Winston sits down with his successor J.R. Howard to talk about the amazing transformation UPIC has experienced over the past six years.
- Taking a founder's vision, enhanced by a culture that loves the team
- Leading with positivity and how the team reflects the leader

In the Indian fable about the blind men who each touched a different part of the element, we aren’t surprised to see that an argument breaks out. Each man trusted his own perception to guide him. Until someone with sight coached them on their error, they made assumptions about the whole.
Within an organization, leaders can easily find themselves in the shoes of blind men. With a limited field of view, they make assumptions about the entire organization, process, and team.
Just before recording this podcast episode, I was speaking with the founder of a large, complex organization. She’s found herself at the center of a problem where she’s the sole person resolving conflicts, making decisions, and charting innovative waters. In thinking about our conversation, I reflected on the blind men and the elephant and discovered some important business truths hiding inside the story.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- How to avoid being the bottleneck, even when you are the visionary founder of the organization
- The challenge when leaders focus too much attention on their own specialization and why it’s a roadblock for the team
- Why having historical and real-time context for business decisions may be the most important data to share across the organization
- The 6 steps to UNLOCK innovation in any business in any industry
And, you’ll hear how you can bring a WHOLE picture workshop to your own organization to see how revealing the truth drives business success.

The impact of the pandemic over this past year has hit everyone. While no one would argue that healthcare and frontline workers have felt it the hardest, the next largest industry might just be the change management professionals.
These individuals have worked for years to persuade businesses and teams to embrace needed change in organizations. But few people and employers are comfortable trying new things when the comfortable, old way of doing things is still an option.
But, in 2020, everything changed.
Over the course of one weekend, office workers began working from home and supervisors struggled to figure out how to lead remote teams. Plans were upended. Goals revised. And change happened, over and over again, at an accelerated pace. Both personally and professionally.
Nimble organizations embraced the changes, reacted quickly, and thrived.
But the past 14 months have put a tremendous burden on everyone. Rapid changes aren’t something most people easily embrace.
It takes courage for a business to look at its small team culture at this point in time. And bravery to share the results with the team...especially when everyone is tired and overwhelmed.
That’s where I found myself recently and the lessons learned are applicable to all businesses and teams.
The best way to navigate organizational change is to show up as “You, Inc.” and that’s the topic of this podcast episode.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- A brave reveal for a small team culture
- Why focusing my attention on the defeated was critical
- The exact reason building a workplace culture isn’t leadership’s job
- How you can take responsibility when there are limited growth opportunities
- The 5 words that should be deleted from the dictionary (at least when it comes to business)
And, you’ll hear the worst thing a business can do after an annual employee engagement survey and what they should do instead.

Comic strips and funny stories abound with humorous anecdotes about clogged sinks and how homeowners make things worse before calling in a professional to fix the problem.
There’s a reason they are funny.
Because it’s a universal experience.
We have a problem. We think we can fix it. Only to discover that the fix we tried made the problem worse.
After several experiences like this, most people will call a plumber before they attempt anything other than running the garbage disposal or trying drain cleaner.
Because the truth is, for most of us, plumbing isn’t something that we’re good at or that we enjoy.
You can probably think of a variety of tasks within your business like that. Things that need to be done but that you don’t like or aren’t good at doing.
Just like most people end up realizing that hiring a plumber saves them time and money, hiring team members will save you time and money in your business.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- Why you should hire your first team member before you think you’re ready
- How to calculate the actual cost of NOT hiring
- 5 Multiplier Max questions every CEO needs to ask before making a hiring decision
- The vision that turns you from anxious to confident when hiring
- The exact strategy successful businesses use to test a new hire’s skills (while treating them as a valuable team member)
And you’ll hear why hiring a single team member will change your business forever.

Whether it’s a home improvement weekend adventure, a quick renovation, or flooring or paint refresh, Americans love DIY projects.
In fact, in 2020 the total sales of all 3 types of home improvement stores totaled more than $450 billion dollars.
And HGTV’s website attracts an average of 10.2 million visitors each month.
That’s a lot of DIY!
But when it comes to your business, trying to DIY-ing it is holding you back.
You’ll get further, faster, when you build a team. And you may be thinking that you aren’t ready yet for a team. Or that you aren’t sure how to best build your team. Or you may feel stuck because you aren’t sure who to hire next.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- Why building a team is the best way to build your side hustle into a thriving business
- The assumptions you may be making about hiring that are holding you back
- 5 steps to go from struggling solopreneur to thriving team leader
And, you’ll hear how continuing to DIY your business is the ultimate bottleneck to your business growth.

It’s easy for businesses to get caught up in the day-to-day and not look at the current trends and how things are shifting and changing.
But when that happens, big names like Blockbuster and Kodak go the way of dinosaurs and buffalo.
To stay current, you have to be aware of fundamental shifts in how businesses operate. And one of the most significant is the move away from traditional leadership and management with employees and staff to integrated teams - whether you’re working with W2s or 1099s.
And while the common phrase is “there’s no ‘i’ in team” there’s a lot more to consider when building For Love Of Team.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- The 2 “i” words that are critical for a team to succeed
- A surprising glue that keeps a team together
- How your language about leadership may be stopping you from building a team you love
- Why focusing your intention on this one thing is the key to your business growth
- 2 unique tools to build For Love of Team
And, you’ll hear how the tools we’ve developed help founders craft a vision for success and identify the team that helps them get there.

There are around 400,000 different flowering plants, over 60,000 tree species, and 8.7 million species of animals!
Clearly God designed, created, and appreciates variety.
All too often in business, though, new employees get hired based on cultural fit which can lead to hiring team members who think the same, act the same, have similar experiences, and agree with each other.
But when team members are hired for the culture “add” of bringing more variety to the workplace it benefits everyone.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- What you need to unlearn to build For Love of Team
- How to fund a team
- Best practices when hiring team members
- 4 questions to hire for cultural fit
- The answers you should look for
And you’ll hear the specific differences between cultural fit and cultural add and how you can use that to build a team you love.

The 1980s were filled with money-hungry firms who were getting rich at all costs. As my podcast guest, Craig Wood, mentions in our interview, that was reflected in the entertainment of the time. Like fictional Wall Street character, Gordon Gekko, who famously stated, “Greed is good.”
But Craig’s father-in-law, Jim, wanted to do things differently.
He and his wife, Dune, started Premier International, a software consulting company rooted in ethics and built on relationships. They hired college graduates, trained them in the Premier way, and trusted that doing the right thing for their employees and their clients would work.
And it did.
For about 34 years.
Then Jim passed away in 2018 and everyone wondered what would happen next.
Craig was asked to take the helm and continue the Premier legacy.
That’s an honor Craig doesn’t take lightly. And over the past 3 years, he’s seen how the employee-first AND client-first mentality has built a culture that’s been successful and sustainable.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- The challenge of continuing a business after the founder has passed away
- How the founders were ahead of their time on their views of team
- The impact COVID has had on their business - and how they’ve benefitted from the change
- Why you want to hire for culture add and not just culture fit
- How Premier is using the EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System) to continuously learn and improve
- Why having a lens of gratitude changes your entire mindset and can change your entire business
And you’ll hear Craig mention how love can be a 4-letter word in the business world and he views For Love of Team.

Did you start your business to keep track of the bookkeeping? Or to become a marketing expert? Or write all the copy? Or maybe you looked forward to taking care of the mail and holding meetings?
Probably not.
If I had to guess, I’d say that you started your business because you were passionate about providing a product or service that you love.
But then you discovered that running a business is so much more than just fulfilling the services you offer. And now you may be feeling stuck. You’d like to do more, serve more, make a bigger impact but you feel like you’re on a hamster wheel running faster and faster without getting anywhere.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- Why delegation doesn’t work
- How changing your perspective to collaboration gives you better results
- 4 steps to identifying collaboration opportunities in your business
- Bonus: A copy of the exact Google spreadsheet I use for the exercise we’ll go through together on the podcast
- Why grading your activity is critical to collaboration
- The outsourcing option that gets you the biggest ROI
And, you’ll hear how to determine what holding on to these tasks is costing you and how you can change it.
When you grade your activities, here are the ratings you’ll use:
N - NOVICE. These are tasks you don’t do well at all. You’d need to research HOW to do this work. It causes you stress, you feel incompetent, it causes stress and conflict. The learning curve is likely steep. You either avoid these or you judge these purely not worth your time.
S - SKILLED. You can get the task done, you’re proficient especially in a pinch, evaluate yourself as adequate. Others could do this task much better and with less effort. These feel repetitive, monotonous. Overall, feels draining and blocks your growth and that of your business.
E - EXCELS. You have great skill at this. Your team, even your business, counts on you to deliver in this area. You perform these tasks better than most others. Yet, it lacks spark or energy for you. While checking the box has some satisfaction, working in this area is not very rewarding to you and doesn’t support your growth. You may even feel trapped or captive to these tasks, keeping you from doing the fun stuff.
G - GIFTED. Of all of the items on your checklist, these are your favs. If we had heart emojis on the tracker, they’d earn the love. You do these exceedingly well and love to do them. These are the tasks that fuel your passion, accelerate your impact and you feel in your flow or in the Zone. Time flies by when you are doing these. In fact, you love this work so much, you’d do it even without pay. Most importantly, you are fascinated by this and always are striving to grow and improve in this area.

From movies to concerts or sports - everywhere you look in the field of entertainment, you see how specialists come together to create a whole that’s better than its parts.
Those specialists aren’t order-takers. They’re captains of their own work...even when that work is part of someone else’s whole. When leaders forget that, chaos ensues.
This week’s podcast episode explores the mistake most leaders make when they delegate (a word I believe should never be spoken again) and what they should do instead to build a business they love, supported by a team they love.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- Why most leaders fail to successfully delegate work
- The 2 sides of delegation - and how neither of them work
- How collaboration creates impact for a business
- What most business owners are doing wrong when it comes to making hiring decisions
- The 3 questions that need your laser focus to build a business you love
And...when you have a business you love, supported by a team you love, that’s For Love Of Team.

You can find all kinds of leadership quotes that talk about being a captain. And there’s some truth in most of them but a pithy quote doesn’t capture all of the critical aspects of becoming a captain in your business.
As you grow in your leadership journey you may find yourself on the same journey as many of my clients - sailing from captive to captain.
If you want to grow your business and, at the same time, multiply your impact, income, margin and freedom, it’s time to take the wheel.
Join me in this podcast episode, to get:
- What being captive feels like
- How it feels to be captain of your business
- The questions I ask to guide clients from captive to captain
- What procrastination is telling you and how to harness its power
- The exact homework assignment I give clients to get to the root of problem
- What you can do today to move forward in your business and identify how a team can help you sail with ease
And, you’ll hear how a conversation with me about your business has the potential to get you started on your journey to captain...with calmer seas than you were expecting.

Business owners don’t start a business because they love running a business; they start a business because they love providing a specific product or service and want the freedom that comes with being their own boss.
All too quickly, the demands of running a business overwhelm the joy of providing the product or service. This is where many business owners burn out and hit the wall. You can’t make more money or have more time because you’re doing everything yourself, or your customers aren’t being taken care of because your team is non-existent. Or you put off building a team and now you’re scrambling to cobble one together but you don’t have a solid plan because you never really believed your team wouldn’t just be a headache in your business.
Those are the same scenarios I hear over and over again from business owners.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- The 3 steps you need to take to move from captive to captain of your business
- Who you might think you’re competing with and who you actually are
- How you can get time to relax, renew, and refocus on building a business AND a team you will absolutely love
- The opportunity for a small group intensive experience to transform your business
- How having the right roadmap can turn confusion into confidence

In this episode, Team Klinck’s Bobby Klinck and Katie Chase join me for the second half of our conversation about building a team you love.
The 3 of us tackle the big question about what is your purpose in your life and how does that relate to running a business. And we look at how Team Klinck is promoting a counter-intuitive “Serve First” philosophy and, while that could be seen as a sales tactic, it has already made HUGE ripple effects in and on their community.
In addition to the prank they pulled on their audience during their live event, in this conversation, you’ll also get:
How Bobby’s dad modeled true marketing
- When there’s no “catch” and how that confuses people
- The key to connect with your audience and with your team that drives your success
- How going against what everyone else is doing may be the perfect way to grow your business
- What business decisions make team members proud to be part of the team
- When going all-in makes the difference between an offer succeeding or not
- How the leader/founder views the team is critical to the success of the team
And when all the pieces come together you can see magic happen.

Ever heard: “When people pay, they pay attention” or “The transformation is in the transaction”?
That’s just one of the myths that we’re busting in the next 2 episodes of For Love of Team. I’m joined by the powerhouse duo of Team Klinck - Bobby Klinck and Katie Chase. Bobby is the founder/visionary and Katie is the integrator and team lead for the business.
The three of us take a deep dive into everything team - including the 2 different times Bobby’s peers told him that he was making a big mistake in who he hired and how he paid them...and what happened when he ignored them all.
And we explore how Bobby and Katie work together to develop a team of individuals who are excited to work for Team Klinck, are proud of the work they’re doing, and who support the vision wholeheartedly.
In this conversation, you’ll get:
- One way online marketers have been playing a never-ending game of “telephone” and how you can stop it
- The joy of building a team you love when the “puzzle pieces just fit together”
- The answer to the age-old question of the chicken or the egg when it’s time to build your team
- Exactly how the visionary and integrator work together to build and integrate the team
- How the best team members support each other to focus on the vision and feel safe at work
- When to go against common wisdom to grow your business
- The ONE word you have to coach your team to use!
- What happens when your team isn’t just a cog in the business but is actually part of it
- The 3 personalities that you need in a business
- Core values aren’t just about how you run your business and what offers you have...it’s also how you treat each other
And, tune in next week to hear about how Bobby pranked his entire audience during his live event and what happened afterward.

Scroll through your favorite social media platform feed and you’ll find an unusually high percentage of perfectly arranged bookcases in the background, funny pets, and selfies captured with ideal lighting.
Curated images.
No one else sees the hundreds of deleted images taken and discarded before the “right” one shows up in your feed.
It’s simple to present a polished image online...and all too easy to believe that if you just tried a little harder, pushed a little farther, hustled a little longer, you’d have the same magic unicorn success as the gurus whose ads show up over and over again.
But no magic pills, potions, or unicorns will lead to success if you aren’t leading your team with the right heart.
That’s why in this episode, you’ll get:
- The true confessions of a Level 2 Leader
- Why “the customer is always right” may be dead wrong
- How knowing the 3 levels of leaders may prevent burnout and chaos...and knowing that means you can take advantage of it today
- WHAT the two main roles in every business are, how they intersect and the exact question each one needs to take 100% responsibility for
- Three characteristics every successful leader needs to embrace
Plus how it all works together as a solid foundation for building and keeping a team you love.

Teams. Building a team. Managing a team. Delegating tasks or projects to a team member. Finding and hiring a team member.
When you hear those words and phrases, what pops into your mind?
If you’re like most solopreneurs or entrepreneurs that have a small team, you probably struggle to get excited about having or growing a team. It may sound like more trouble than it’s worth. You may wonder if it’ll even be worth it. And, if you’ve had a bad experience before, you may question how or why it’ll be different this time.
Which is why I’m so excited about this week’s podcast episode!
In this episode, you’ll get:
- Why knowing the 3 levels of leaders may prevent burnout and chaos...and how you can take advantage of it today

For some the college experience is filled with parties and fun while for others it’s a grind of school work and studying. For me, it was an exciting opportunity to pave the way as the only male in an all-female freshman dorm!
As the Head Resident the position wasn’t as much fun-and-games as it was leading, inspiring, and guiding. And a big part of that was building and leading a team of 6 female RAs who eagerly embraced their mission to make freshman year unforgettable and rewarding for all the incoming freshman girls in our dorm.
Those leadership lessons I learned on the College of William and Mary campus have stayed with me as I’ve worked within the teams others built and went on to build businesses and teams myself.
In this episode of the podcast, you’ll hear:
- The EXACT leadership lesson I’ve had to relearn over and over again and I’m sharing it with you so you learn from my experience
- 2 questions that are 100% your responsibility
- One question you should NEVER spend another moment on
- Why most leaders can’t attract and keep A+ team players and how you can
And so much more!
Leaders Simplify Teamwork and focusing on the right questions helps you grow For Love of Team™.

The ability to simplify means to eliminate the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak. --Hans Hofman.
In our noisy world, it’s all too easy to allow the unnecessary to gain control of our businesses and of our lives. But a big part of leadership is being self-aware and that awareness can help you see what is necessary.
We believe that one thing that’s necessary is:
Leaders Simplify Teamwork.
After focusing on Leaders, Leadership, and how to be a Level 3 Leader for the last couple of episodes, today we’re moving to the second pillar of Simplify.
As Hans Hofman said, we need to simplify so that the necessary can speak. In our businesses, that’s our mission, vision, and impact.
You’ll want to grab a pen and paper to take notes as you listen in to:
- A brief recap of the characteristics you want to model to be a great leader
- The fastest way to build a team you love
- How the power of simplicity turned a recent retreat into a “wow” experience
- The 4 steps to SIMPLIFYING your business, including a foundational evaluation that you’ll want to return to again and again as you grow and scale your business
The breakdown of the 4 steps are the perfect way to implement Leaders Simplify Teamwork so you can build an amazing team.

This week, you don’t want to miss diving into:
- Who you have to lead first to be successful
- The question of whether mastery is attainable
- A surprising twist to looking at richness in business
- How love actually is leadership
- Why being called to be generous isn’t necessarily talking about money
And, you’ll hear how exemplifying the characteristics of a Level 3 Leader can transform your business...and, dare I say, the world?

Have you ever picked up an old business book from the shelves of a library or a used book store and tried to read it? In the words of a famous ad, “You’ve come a long way, baby.” What we think of as effective management has changed over the years. From the psychology of motivation to new technology and, especially today, with our remote workplaces, what worked “back then” isn’t effective today.
Today’s leaders need to shift their mindset and their practices to build a sustainable, thriving, business.
Level 3 leaders make those shifts. There are 3 words that describe the journey of a Level 3 Leader: Leaders, Simplify, and Teamwork. Regardless of where you are on your own leadership journey, this episode will give you food for thought about changes to make in your business.
Listen in to hear:
- Why self-awareness is the key to business success
- What your most precious resource is and how to spend it wisely
- The 2 extremes that kill our business processes
- What you need to unify your team
- The best tool to maximize your team’s efforts
And I share the secret to business success that I found after 40 years of leading teams.

A false choice can be defined as something that you have to pick between...something that looks like an either/or situation when, in reality, it’s a both/and opportunity instead.
Growing a business has a multitude of moments like that. You find yourself facing a choice and only see 2 options but, often, it isn’t just 2 options...there’s more choices than what you first see.
There are 3 pillars of growing a mission-based business. Many business owners mistake those pillars as either/or choices instead of seeing them as both/and opportunities.
Join me in this episode, where you’ll get:
- The most dangerous time in the growth stages of a business
- Why throwing money at the problem doesn’t solve it
- The needed mindset shift to achieve team building success
- A simple question that horrified my successful business mentors
- My personal story where a single comment changed everything for my family
And, you’ll hear how cultivating a healthy respect (and dare I say, love) for all 3 pillars is the key to being ready...

The year of 2020 was supposed to be one of perfect vision and clarity. But we ended up with “pandemic,” “unprecedented,” and new phrases like “social distancing” and “Don’t forget your mask.”
Twenty years ago, no one could have predicted that 2020 would end this way. But I wasn’t even focused that far into the future. I was too busy founding and building a social enterprise business that grew to a $4.5 million dollar revolutionary business.
And that’s the same business I left 5 years ago after I fired myself. If you missed that story, you can catch up on podcast episode 61.
That business was also the location of the biggest failure of my career and is the same thing that I’d bet is the biggest challenge for you as your business begins to flourish.
In this episode, you’ll get:
- What keeps your business mission-driven without burn-out
- A counterintuitive way to look at the stages of business growth
- The challenge with loving an idea or product
- The problem when you can’t take care of your clients by yourself any longer
- 3 steps to SIMPLIFYING your business
And, you’ll hear the For Love of Team mission and how we can help you during the next 25 years...with perfect vision and clarity.

Public speaking. A favorite assignment for many people. Right?!?
How about presenting an unscripted, unrehearsed 18 minute keynote speech without notes? On a topic you just decided upon last night? In front of your peers, being videotaped and critiqued in real time?
Welcome to season 2. Episode 61 of the newly renamed For Love of Team podcast. It’s the #BeginAgain moment for the podcast.
That was me a few months ago at my friend Kent Julian’s Speak it Forward bootcamp.
I began the keynote with a story about my dream business.
A service born out of necessity. Reaching multi-million dollar status. Employing team members across 10 different states. Enjoying a reputation for excellent customer service. Growing market share.
Paradise, right? There was a dark side. One I share during this keynote.
Yet delivering this speech gave me another unexpected benefit.
An insight about other businesses which ultimately fail to meet their potential.
So, let’s take you to that keynote, a few months ago outside of Atlanta.
The precise moment when For Love of Team was born.
Listen in to hear the first time I ever publicly said…“I fired myself.”
The podcast also reveals:
- My first entrepreneurial venture and how I got my sister to pay a nickel to read her own book
- The leadership lessons I learned along my own journey
- The key role each leader needs to ensure they’re getting and also filling for others
- What’s worse than an ill-equipped leader and how to avoid it
- How God directed me to 1 Corinthians 13 and opened my eyes to For Love of Team
- The one surprising thing every leader needs to do to multiply their impact
And so much more.

A construction company that's focused on building their people? Well, here's your inspiration For the Love of Team.
Welcome to season two of the podcast. And this is Episode 60 of the newly renamed For Love of Team podcast.
This is part two of my conversation with Victoria Mininger. We recorded this a few months ago, and I saved it to be closer to the launch of her new book Daring to Fight. Make sure you catch the last podcast episode for more on the book and her story. And check out her links below, especially the book trailer.
And as we recorded that show, we also talked about her business journey as the CEO of Bear Creek Outdoor Living (www.bearcreek.co) in the mountains of Virginia. Bear Creek has grown from just a mere idea into a recognized community leader by their Chamber of Commerce in just a few years.
Listen in to hear:
- The ONE thing that actually drives passion in business
- The exact steps Victoria used to start building her team
- Why hiring for aptitude is critical for team success
- How to succeed being a servant leader in a boss-driven world
- A unique way Bear Creek developed training to support all the employees
- The building blocks of workplace culture
And so much more.
This story is tangible proof that loving your team multiplies your results.
I've experienced this multiplication in my own leadership career. Loving your products or clients more than your people limits your potential.
Hearing Victoria's words in this podcast was ultimately the inspiration for the change for the podcast. With a renewed focus on the power of teamwork, both in my business and with my conversations with you here on the podcast.

As our final episode of Season One of the Begin Again Leadership podcast, we've saved our BEST begin again story for last.
A second chance. Three of the most beautiful, hopeful words ever spoken.
Victoria Mininger never set out to write a book, much less a book about depression. In fact, she didn’t really even aspire to be an author.
Yet, after a season when overwhelm turned to darkness, Victoria dared to fight. Her second chance not only helped herself, it's now helping thousands.
Writing is hard work. A book always seemed like a daunting task. And it is. And yet, when the need outweighs the excuses, somehow a book is what you get.
And WHAT a book! Daring to Fight: When Grit, Grace & Faith Take Depression Head-On is now available on Victoria's website and soon on Amazon.
I LOVE this book so much that I've already given away copies to friends who need a word of inspiration during a very challenging time.
Victoria is a wife, mom of four, Owner, CEO and Integrator of Bear Creek Outdoor Living ( a Residential Construction Firm), Writer, Author, Speaker, hands in the dirt gardner & farm girl. And a great friend from a faith and business Mastermind we've been part of for several years.
I know you are going to enjoy part 1 of our time with Victoria. --Winston

Remember, the biggest Breakthroughs in life and business occur the moment you decide to #BeginAgain.
Perhaps you are feeling overwhelmed, lost or just worn out. You’re missing that spark, that fire you had at the beginning of the year. I definitely hit that wall myself just a few months ago and ReFIREment is the process I used to help me rediscover my passion and my fire and today, others tell me how peaceful, surrendered and relaxed I look.
If you’ve never heard of the term ReFIREment, this is the last of a four part series, helping you gain your passion back after a season of setbacks.
The four steps are:
Unplug: disconnecting from external resources temporarily
Unlearn: reevaluating & challenging existing ideas, beliefs and concepts
Rest: experimenting with and understanding ways to deepen your rest
Relearn: incorporating new practices and beliefs to set you on a new path
Today, let’s go deeper into step three: RELEARN.
And as I’m recording this in early November 2020, it’s seven plus months since I made the decision to unplug to begin this journey. What are my results so far?
- My life is very satisfying. I have more discernment and boundaries around what is most important in my life. I no longer drift along with the waves of circumstances. I now bless and release negative people from my list of acquaintances. And for a recovering people pleaser, that is a huge improvement in the quality of my life.
- I have rediscovered my passion for teamwork and collaboration, which have been the hallmark of my career. I’ve realized that I’m not as effective as a lone wolf and how much I love helping others grow and prosper within the context of a TEAM you LOVE.
- Our monthly business income is now 4x what it was before I stopped working in April. And we’re only scratching the surface of what is possible.
- This morning as an example, I set a personal record for the amount of deep sleep in a night, beyond anything I thought possible a few months ago. And my body has already released 22 inches of girth during this lengthy process of unlearning. As I enter this season of relearning, I’m excited about what’s to come.

Today, let’s go deeper into step two, UNLEARN.
As a philosophy student in college, one quote from Plato speaking about his mentor takes my breath away everytime I hear it and seek to apply it in my life.
My paraphrase: Wisdom comes from knowing that you know nothing.
How counter-cultural and counterintuitive is that statement in today’s world.
And probably the single most important reason to UNPLUG from social media where everyone with an opinion, a conspiracy, or an axe to grind can/will post with absolute conviction and certainty AND which will be shared, reposted, retweeted, and amplified to an increasingly larger yet smaller-minded echo chamber of like-minded followers.
Unlearning what you think you know unlocks new doors of potential in your business and life.

In today's episode, we'll explore what it means to UNPLUG.
For me, I challenged myself to stop certain actions for 30 days and then to check in again to see if I wanted to reinstall any of them.
What UNPLUG looks like probably varies for all of us. I suggest starting by taking inventory of activities or actions that block your inner peace or knowing. These could be both so-called “good” or “bad” actions -- being curious and willing to reconsider these blocks will give you cues of items you’d want to consider.
And this is also a great time to check your spirit. If resistance wells up when you consider giving up a particular activity for 30 days, that’s a likely candidate for consideration. For me, anytime I push back or resist an idea, it’s usually a sign of something I need to consider releasing for a bit.
So, your assignment this week. Consider what a season of UNPLUG looks like for you. What are some actions or activities are you willing to forgo for a short period of time?
Create this extra margin so you can take the next step along the ReFIREment journey: UNLEARN, which we will cover next time.

We’re back after a short break, we are preparing for our upcoming Season Two (coming soon) by taking you behind the curtain here at WinstonFaircloth.com.
Over this five part series, we’ve been sharing our emerging PLAN of how we’re going to serve three types of business owners going forward. Leaders who either WANT, NEED or HAVE teams to help them multiply their impact by creating, growing and keeping teams THEY LOVE. We call this process: For LOVE of Team.
Today, another hard truth gained during this season. The value of WAITING. During reFIREment, there are so many life and business lessons to learn, but none as important as the season of WAITING. People tend to think of surrender and waiting as passive. As type A’s or high D’s, we are constantly in motion, taking “massive action”. That’s the answer to every problem. And in our culture, we’re conditioned for instant results.
Waiting is a season when things might not be easy. Yet, it is a season where we are being prepared for everything that lies ahead as we step into our purpose. We’re putting down strong and deep roots. And just like the fruit tree, we don’t plant it today and harvest delicious apples tomorrow. Let’s be thankful for this season of waiting.

Last time, we shared about the MOST powerful part of pivoting your business and life. I call it WHYPOWER.
Today, let’s talk about Provision. The biggest pushback I get when I bring up the concept of taking a ReFirement Sabbatical is financial. We’ve got bills to pay and we cannot afford to leave the business even for a moment to sharpen our saw and renew our spirit. I hear this all of the time.
And in our culture where we equate money to work, or income to value creation -- this is a very hard belief to overcome. As your virtual mentor today, I have some news for you. If you cannot step away from your business to take care of the primary asset in your business (YOU) -- perhaps for now you are an employee with a bad boss and not YET a business owner.
If your business is not growing the way you’d hope, it’s usually one of three things. The OFFER, the Price or the People you are marketing to: there’s a misalignment somewhere in that mix.
And since YOU are a big part of the offer, how you view money and provision makes all fo the difference.
Next time: We continue our four part series around our pivot with the next P: Planning. When you become aligned on your why and trust the process, opportunities you never considered start coming your way.

EP 52: We’re back after a short break, we are preparing for our upcoming Season Two (coming soon) by taking you behind the curtain here at WinstonFaircloth.com.
Last time, we shared how taking a PAUSE gave us the margin needed to unplug, unlearn, rest and relearn. Otherwise known as ReFIREment.
In this episode, let’s talk about the MOST powerful part of pivoting your business and life. I call it WHYPOWER.
When you’ve taken the time for margin (and by the way, it doesn’t have to be weeks or months, sometimes a long weekend away will do), you will be flooded with creative or problem solving ideas. And if you are particularly decisive or a quick start by nature, now that you’ve decided on the WHAT, it’s easy to jump immediately to figuring out the HOW.
Grinding in business and life reminds me of the term WILLpower. I will keep churning and working from a position of brute strength of will. I will not quit. I will find a way.
WILLpower is not the answer. Instead, WHYpower is the recognition that ideas without purpose are not enough.
I will share my process for finding your WHY in a very counter-intuitive way.
Next time: We continue our four part series around our pivot with the next P: Provision. When you become aligned on your why, opportunities you never considered start coming your way.

Welcome to episode 51 of the Begin Again Leadership podcast. We’re back after a short break, we are preparing for our upcoming Season Two (coming soon) by taking you behind the curtain here at WinstonFaircloth.com.
Last time, we shared the PLAN of how we’re going to serve three types of business owners. Those who WANT, NEED or HAVE teams to help them multiply their impact.
In this episode, let's talk about what happens when you hit the wall in your business. Perhaps it's burnout. Or something less noticeable, like when you start resenting your business or can no longer celebrate the success of your peers. You know something is OFF, but you can't put your finger on exactly what is going on.
I tried doubling down on productivity practices. I started working longer and harder. Then one day during a new walking routine I’d implemented at the start of the COVID lockdown, it came to me. A word out of nowhere. REFIREMENT.
Rediscovering my passion one small step at time. I had NO real plan, but in speaking to some peers, I ended up with four foundations of REFIREMENT -- a season of PAUSE.
- Unplug
- Unlearn
- Relearn
- Rest
Next Monday, we'll talk about defining Purpose in a very counterintuitive way -- by thinking long-term so that external circumstances can no longer define your value.

We’re back after a short break, we are preparing for Season Two (coming soon) by taking you behind the curtain here at WinstonFaircloth.com. Before we share what’s been happening over the past few months, I’d like to share a glimpse as to where we’re going.
Think of some successful, long-term, personal brand businesses. Now that you have them in mind, how many are thriving today as solopreneurs? Singular leaders delivering for their clients -- all alone.
The American mythology of rugged individualism, pull yourself by your bootstrap is well ingrained in our culture.
Yet, even thriving solopreneurs cannot do it alone. Someone, somewhere took a chance on them before they were established or well known. There are many examples of six figure solo businesses and precious few seven figure solo businesses without a team.
As entrepreneurs, we all Want, Need, or Have a team with the expressed purpose of helping us multiply our impact in business.
In this episode, we'll introduce you to #ForLoveOfTeam where intentionality meets heart in building, growing or keeping the Multipliers who can help you make the maximum difference. Namely, a team you absolutely LOVE.
And how did we get here from where we last left off a few months ago? Well, that’s the focus of our next episode. What happens when you hit the wall of frustration in a business you dreamed of building.

So many people today are searching for their "calling". Often times, others see your gifting before you do.
Jennifer Harshman's career took off when she followed her curiosity to learn the difference between British and American style editing as a favor to a friend.
Words and their power for change has always driven Jennifer's passion and now she helps others bring their experiences in book form.
84% of people say they want to write a book, yet only 1% do. Jennifer is on a mission to multiply that number of prospective authors through her agency.
Anyone can be an author today, but reaching your audience with a message that truly lands often needs another set of eyes via a professional editor.

This is one of my favorite interviews so far.
Imagine winning multiple national championships for the most beautiful college campus in America. At a place where tens of thousands of people are tailgating in the middle of campus during an SEC football weekend late into Saturday night. And as dawn breaks on a peaceful Sunday morning, the mountains of trash have magically disappeared. In that moment, you understand WHY the team at the University of Mississippi are national champions.
Taking his grounds staff, affectionately known as “weeders”, and developing them into “leaders” has been a joyous challenge that reaped acres of rewards in the form of national recognition by the Princeton Review, PGMS, Newsweek and every faculty, staff, student and visitor who has walked onto the Ole Miss Campus. Building on that momentum, Jeff has designed a professional development plan for his Weeders called Landscape University – a replicable training program that promotes the individual’sinnate ability to GROW.

To the outside world Susan Choi was your typical, happy, well rounded go-getter.
An amazing family, a solid group of friends, and a highly coveted corporate job. However, what no one realized was, she was constantly pushing herself harder and harder until one day the body said, “NO”.
The never ending need for perfection and the constant negative voice in her head suddenly made itself very clear that things needed to change ASAP because she had hit rock bottom.
She found some of the best practitioners to help me get through adrenal fatigue so that she can feel normal again, but no one ever told her the true key to living at peace is by mastering and training my brain for peak performance.
Today, she's turned that Begin Again experience into her calling. As a high performance stress management coach Susan has helped hundreds of clients see the truth behind stress. Including Winston.

Asking for higher guidance lead Josiah into his passion and purpose.
From concept to launch within a month the Content Heroes podcast was born. A new show and an online community for content creators of every type.
His path to this point in his career has had many twists and turns. A demotion within his corporate career was the catalyst to check in with his heart and take a new leap of faith.
Instead of asking what job do I want, Josiah asked what did he want his life to look like?
He got a very surprising response when he shared his discovery with his wife.

The Summer of Love during the late 1960s gave me my first taste of the entrepreneurial world.
At age 8, totally bored out of my mind one lazy summer, I started a little "store" in the backyard along our little country lane. One product lead to another, keeping me busy and fascinated about how to serve the other kids on our side street.
When desire to serve meets a market need, magic happens. This is an ageless truth, no matter the economic situation.

"Honey, we're going to have to sell the house." Those were the first words I used to tell my wife I'd just been fired from my career of 18 years. The only career I'd known since college came crashing down a few days after my 40th birthday.
The next few weeks and the first six months set me on an entrepreneurial path that I could have never imagined in my wildest dreams. Becoming the founder of a technology company that revolutionized an industry.
Today's episode focuses on the immediate aftermath of losing my career. 20 years ago in March. That time reminds me a great deal of the rollercoaster of emotions many of us are going through now during this season of PAUSE in our lives.
It was a time when I drew resourcefulness from my prior experiences, found my passion and benefitted from God's timing.

The fall of 2001 felt a lot like it does right now. People and businesses were dazed, confused. Uncertain.
Not only had America just witnessed the horrific attacks on our homeland a mere month before, the stock market was entering a season of volatility which would later be called the "dot-com bubble".
At this same time there were a group of engineers and designers working behind the scenes on a revolutionary new creation. Until this point, this band of visionaries were known for one, niche product. They were competing against a literal Goliath many times their size, and they were losing market share by the quarter.
Finally, they had their new product. But, what to do? I can imagine that the board room was filled with comments like:
- We can't launch now, people are scared to buy.
- Will people really spend $399 on something they've never heard of before?
- We've got a lot of education to do. I'm not sure they will understand.
For many of us in business (or want to be), we're probably thinking many of the same thoughts.
In this episode, I'm going to share the story of this band of engineers and how in the middle of America's shock and grief, they upended an entire industry.
And why today is YOUR day to take even the smallest step towards your dream.

Before becoming a mother, Jacqueline Kincer was a very successful stock broker, at the top of her profession. Everything changed once her son was born. She just knew she couldn't leave him as a mother, feeling torn between her new calling and promised advancement in her career.
Over the next few years she discovered her calling closer to home and heart. She had been supporting others through a mom's group and as a volunteer breastfeeding supporter. She built the community she needed, and other mothers recognized they needed it too. Three years after her son was born, she became a board-certified lactation consultant opening her own practice. Today she's recognized as a leader in her profession, serving mothers all over the world.

During this season of "social distancing", today I invite you to Be Contagious.
As a pre-teen, there was one person who fundamentally changed my life by the way she lived. And it wasn't until she passed did I come to understand all of the trials she had personally endured. She lost big chunks of her life to a medical condition that required her to be cut off from human contact for weeks or months at a time.
In those seasons of trial, she developed intangible qualities that later sowed into me and shaped me into the person I am today. By sharing her story today, I hope this encourages and inspires you to be contagious.

There are times in life when we have that new car, showroom feel. Business, relationships and finances are all prospering. And without warning, something unexpected happens (like the current situation in the world) and our shiny "new car "gets smashed and we get a dented fender. It's those roadblocks/moments that often define our lives. And when we invite God into those moments, He helps us define those moments for the better.
Today's guest, Barb Lownsbury, knows this story all too well. She's the founder and executive director of the Dented Fender Ministry in Cincinnati, OH. After a difficult divorce, bankruptcy and season of being a single parent, Barb rose again running a successful insurance practice. And then, boom, God placed a new call upon her life.
Barb has been a spiritual mentor of mine for many years. She was right there, sitting next to me when I got that "Lightning Bolt" moment (episode 005) to seek my new calling to begin this work.

County music artist/musician/producer, Chad Jeffers epitomizes Steve Martin’s famous saying, “be so good they can’t ignore you”.
His self proclaimed “major in a minor instrument” (aka: slide guitar), natural talent and heart for others has propelled his country music career since the age of 8 after being chased by thousands of teenage girls.
After a Billboard top 25 hit with his own band, Chad began backing up some of music’s biggest names like Keith Urban, Kenny Loggins, Jamie O’Neal and many others. And in 2007, he started touring with country superstar, Carrie Underwood.
In his travels, he’s played Live 8, appeared on nearly every major awards show from the Grammys to the American Music Awards to the CMA’s, and performed in front of hundreds of thousands of people around the world from Afghanistan to Japan.
In Fall 2019 he released, BackStage Notes, which is an intro course into the careers of Music, released by his publishing company. All along, he’s been giving talks and lectures on many different stages.
“Music has the power to change the world. I feel that my role is to entertain, inspire and educate others on exactly how they can express themselves through music. Being on stage with world-renowned artists as a musician is my passion, but being on stage as a speaker to inspire others, is my purpose.”

In our last episode, Teresa shared about her season of waiting as she transitioned from a calling/ministry she loved into a new world of her vocation which would give her greater time and financial freedom to be even more intentional in her one and only Real Life.
As I was relistening to episode 34, not only did her words resonate with me, they echoed in my soul.
You see, today, March 10, 2020 is my last day of my 50s. Tomorrow I turn 60 years young. And as I said to Teresa on the last podcast, each decade of life is it’s own chapter for me. One thing I KNOW about each decade is that the next one is better and more fulfilling to me than the one before.
And if I had to pick one word for my 50s, I would say WAITING.
Now WAITING, that’s a very challenging word for me to embrace. I’m a high D-decisive in DISC. A high Quick Start on Kolbe and type 3 Achiever/forward leaning type on the Enneagram. WAITING is not my natural posture. Instead of ready, aim, shoot. I’m the shoot, come-on let’s get going type.
Find out why WAITING has created AWAKENING in this episode.

Mastermind friend and executive coach, Teresa McCloy shares her Begin Again story of courage to start over as an entrepreneur after a business failure and 15 years in ministry.
Teresa and I share a love of the imagery of "seasons" of life. Listen carefully about her season of waiting and preparation: this will speak to you if your plans are not progressing as quickly as you would like. Her rich and wise experience of living on a farm imbues her new calling with grace, surrender and trust.
Personally, I had to listen to this episode a couple of times to harvest more of the wisdom from a life well lived and of a calling that's just emerging.

Perhaps you remember being by the edge of a body of still water. You pick up a big rock and you throw it as high and as far away as you possibly can. In a few seconds, you hear it ... "ker-plunk". Then, in concentric circles in every direction, you begin to see the ripples move across the pond. Drifting closer and closer to you. Bigger and bigger circles of impact.
Our lives are a lot like the ripple effect. We share a kind word, hold a door open for an elder, finally make an overdue decision. Take an action of any kind. And as we release our gifts into God's creation, ripples of impact we cannot yet see or imagine spread out in every direction.
In this episode, you will hear how an action several months ago came washing back to me last weekend.

Last Friday morning, I had just recorded a Facebook Live in my series "Walk with Winston". The topic? Creating more margin and time freedom in your business.
90 minutes later, everything changed. A call from my sister to meet her at the hospital made the words from my Facebook Live even more prophetic.
A week later, I have an even deeper perspective on the need for intentionality around creating margin in your business.
This episode is my first without notes or an outline. It's raw and to the point.I'd like your direct feedback about this episode and about creating more margin in your business. Email me at win@winsight.com or DM me at Instagram at @winstonfaircloth

I have a question for you, online business owner? Are you hiding? I sometimes hide behind a cloak of invisibility.
I’m now entering month three of building business three, this time almost exclusively in the online world. Yet, I'm finding how easy it is to hide behind my screen.
It’s so darn easy to hide, even in online business, behind the cloak of invisibility. We can spend days writing our website copy, developing our ICA, writing opt-ins and email funnels. Many of us are afraid of getting out from behind our screen and engaging with real, life people. Heck, we can even hide while recording Facebook Lives, InstaStories or podcasts putting out safe content because we fear the haters or critics.
Business, especially online business, is built on person to person connection. And business requires risks: you have to get out there regardless of the fear of being misunderstood or misaligned with your ideal clients.
God hears our prayers for provision, but He also expects us to do our part in connecting and creating clients.
I draw courage from this speech that my mom gave me to place in my football locker way back in high school.
It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” -Teddy Roosevelt, April 1910Perhaps you would welcome a supportive, loving and FREE online community to help you drop the cloak and step out into your true potential as a future 6 and 7 figure impact business owner.

My question to you. Why Begin Again? I have three quotes in this episode which will encourage and inspire you.
I get some pretty interesting reactions when I talk about persistence, perseverance and worthy failures. Most people who know me well, see me as an optimistic, inspiring and uplifting leader.
Many times they don’t say this to me, but you can see the wheels turning in their mind: there’s a real disconnect here. Why would someone who seems so accomplished, so successful talk about a difficult subject like persistence.
How do positivity and perseverance go together in building a good life and a strong business?
I have three phrases in this episode that will help build your faith and accelerate your Begin Again seasons of life.
Over the next several weeks, you are going to hear even more stories from others who are sharing their Begin Again moments here on the podcast.

I do believe fear plays a large role on why people stay on the sidelines of business and life. And when it comes to your next online course or program, there are several big fears. Do any of these sound like you?
- Why would anyone buy a course from me?
- You have spent months building the perfect program. Doing anything but launching.
- You ask yourself, “Will there be a rush of buyers or will it be crickets?”
- Your online ad spend exceeds your ACTUAL sales revenue. Now what?
These are natural fears when we’re thinking about starting something new.
What if you could end the needless cycle of worry when you are creating your next new program? Have your clients pay you to build your next online course? It is possible and it was the spark that turned into a flame with my first multi-million dollar business.

Lesson One from 7 Lessons from Building a 7 Figure Business. Have you ever noticed, Future 7 Figure CEO, that we tend to pay for services that are complex or challenging for us to learn/do. However, we don't tend to value those things that come naturally to us. I call this the "Value Paradox" and how this can stop you from considering offering your services online. This is one aspect of Paid to Launch.

Happy New Year 2020.
A chance encounter with his nephew helped Winston recall his own lessons about giving up control and the need for certainty in his life and business. Moving from fixed expectations to a posture (BEing) of expectancy. This is key to becoming a Future 7 Figure CEO.
Make sure to subscribe because the next 8 episodes are going to be amazing. Winston is releasing his online course audio from "7 Lessons of Building a 7 Figure Business" as a free gift here on the podcast. These raw recordings were captured last summer as he wrote his most popular opt-in ebook, at a time when he was discouraged about business and alignment.

You have had a successful career, Future 7 Figure CEO. You’ve held leadership roles, your children are getting older and that empty nest is just around the corner. Perhaps you mostly identify with your work. You’ve tasted success, but those feelings of achievement no longer drive you in the same way. You need more meaning and passion in life. You know that all of your experiences can be used in a better way.
You might just be an "Encore-preneur". Someone who has sampled success and is willing to go outside of their comfort zone in the second half of life. Today’s Begin Again moment comes from my friend and client, Mark Ross.
Mark provides coaching and mentorship for “Encore-preneurs”: “people who are pursuing meaning and significance through entrepreneurship and passions during the second half of life”. In this episode, Mark talks about the “smoldering unrest” that sometimes appears later in your career and how to best move through this season of life. I hope you enjoy this conversation with Mark Ross.

Part 2 two from the interview with John Budd on his Level Yourself Up podcast.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about the Heart of Service of the Future 7 Figure CEO. How the contrast between my first and second businesses showed me that intentionality made all of the difference. And how my experience of building multi-million dollar businesses helped me through the three stages or potential glass ceilings that could block your growth into 7 figure impact.

Over the next two podcasts, I’m going to bring you segments from the Level Yourself Up podcast, hosted by my friend and client, John Budd. I am honored that John asked me to share some Begin Again moments in my life on his show.
In today’s episode, we’re going to talk about mixing faith and business. I’ll also share more about my career progression from non-profit leader to founder of a shared technology organization. And then how stepping out in faith into my call, lead me on a five year journey. From business # 2 to becoming a tech executive, to today’s “burn the boat” moment of beginning business # 3 as a become a Future 7 Figure CEO.

As background for this podcast, let’s go back to episode 003, “Fired at Forty”. I shared then how my pursuing my curiosity lead to an entirely new career leaving nonprofit management and moving into shared technology services. THE moment I first became a Future 7 Figure CEO and the accidental beginning to Paid to Launch.
This is the story of the transition into that new career and how one seemingly innocent request for investment transformed an entire industry.
Taking our experience of outsourcing back office functions in Lexington, we eventually involved over 20 organizations with a series of planning sessions for something new and groundbreaking. After several excellent discussions and the diversity of opinions, there was something missing.
Finally, after several such discussions, I ended one very spirited in-person meeting with a request. I needed a tool, some meaningful way to move separate the interested from the committed. In this project and for your transformation, the difference often comes down to this: investment.
So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments.

One of my intentions for this podcast is to feature 100s of BeginAgain stories of people from all walks of life. So, on the weekend editions, we’ll have a conversation -- to learn from the life lessons of others. Today, I’m pleased to have Ruthie and Jamie Slingerland on the show.
Fans of Dave Ramsey know that THE highlight of his show is when someone comes on the air to share their “Debt Free Scream”. Just a few years ago, the Slingerlands drove from Buffalo to Dave’s studio just outside of Nashville to share their triumph of eliminating over $90,000 of personal debt -- all while raising a family with several young children.
Today, Ruthie and Jamie share their message of hope and inspiration on the Freedom Life Journey podcast as certified coaches and mentors, in addition to their online businesses. Their life today is a shining example of a Begin Again moment leading to a life of fulfillment and excitement.
Visit: www.FreedomLifeJourney.com for more resources from Ruthie & Jamie.
As a Future 7 Figure CEO, this advice will come in very handy.

This is part 2 of why using a counter-intuitive way of setting goals changes everything, especially you. So, when you hear the term “Impossible Goal” or even “100 Worthy Fails”, what thoughts comes immediately to mind? Are you up for the challenge, Future 7 Figure CEO?
I wonder, why does failure conjure up such negative emotions in all of us. Perhaps it triggers feelings of guilt or shame because we believe that we control the outcomes or that we somehow could have done more? Remember that our expectations are only thoughts. And our feelings about those thoughts are merely the meaning we give them.
As a mindset, a perspective, Begin Again is all about how we deal with setbacks, obstacles and yes, failures. Let’s go back to the very first episode when I said…
"If you quit, your outcome is certain. When you continue, your possibilities are infinite."
In this episode, we'll reframe the word failure and encourage you to take on 25 worthy fails per quarter over the next year.

Today, let’s talk about why using a counter-intuitive way of setting goals changes everything, especially you -- the Future 7 Figure CEO.
BeginAgain moments are often a matter of ongoing perseverance. Yet, many times people continue only after they come to see a new perspective.
Perhaps you’ve heard the futuristic saying... "People overestimate what can be done in one year, and underestimate what can be done in ten."
One thing I consistently notice about people with a success or abundance mindset is that they tend to look at life through longer time horizons. They begin with a completely different perspective, especially when it comes to casting visions and goal setting.
There are so many podcasts and teachings right now about the techniques of goal setting. Bottom line, whatever you choose, find the one that’s right for you. But, I’d like to challenge your thinking about this topic by setting one Impossible Goal.

Welcome back to episode 009 of the Begin Again podcast. Today, let’s talk about the origin of the term Future 7 Figure CEO. Stay tuned. On episode 008, I shared the principle of alignment: namely, how in my experience, there’s magic when our life experience provides the template for how we can serve others. Where we as mentors and coaches are just a few steps ahead of our ideal clients on the journey.
Over the past 30 years, I was either the divisional leader or CEO of several seven and eight figure organizations. And for the majority of this time, I was the founder & CEO of a social enterprise that grew from zero to over a million dollars in less than two years, eventually reaching consistent four plus million dollar revenues. On that flight home to Tampa, I drew out seven principles of contrast between the multi-million dollar tech firm and the low six figure consulting venture, it hit me. I’ve been a 7 Figure CEO now multiple times.
And in this next #BeginAgain season of my career leaving the corporate world and starting my third company, I would once again be a Future 7 Figure CEO, helping other Future 7 Figure CEO's build their business with intentionality and impact.

Episode 008 of Begin Again looks at how drawing contrasts creates clarity in business and in life.
Thursday, March 28, 2019 is a day I will not soon forget. THE day I became a Future 7 Figure CEO.
It was towards the end of a very challenging week in my corporate role in a leading technology company. Just a few days before, our executive team finalized a restructuring of our company which was going to have a significant impact on our division. And I was going to have to excuse myself from the conference I was attending to personally notify some amazing team members that their positions were going to be eliminated. And after having an unexpected response to those calls, I knew I was going to have to make a change as a leader.
On the flight home, I reviewed my career, especially my previous two entrepreneurial ventures. As I studied them, I found sharp contrasts that created clarity in what I'd do next.
So, let's draw deeper faith, inspiration and encouragement in our Begin Again moments. Please do me a favor and check out the upcoming shows by subscribing right now on your favorite podcast app.

Seven is one of my favorite numbers. Recently I learned that in Scripture seven represents completion and achievement. And since we’re at podcast seven, I’m going to share my Begin Again moment that fundamentally changed my life (aka as the Ballfield).
As I grew older and it became clear that I would want to attend college, how we’d pay for it became a little more of a discussion item around the dinner table. By my early teens, I experienced a massive growth spurt. I was growing to be nearly a foot taller than anyone else in my immediate family.
Perhaps the best way to describe me then was as a “gentle giant”. And this set off a prayer battle within the Faircloth/Poyner families. There were some prayer warriors earnestly seeking a full football scholarship to an amazing college. And apparently, there were other prayer warriors seeking anything other than football to cover my college expenses.
Experiences that lead me to today, becoming a Future 7 Figure CEO.

Are you waiting for doors to be opened or closed in your life or business?
2019 has been a year like that for me. Waiting and wondering when a door of opportunity would finally open. For the past 18 months, I’ve made significant investments in my new business, even as I worked in my role as an officer in a technology organization.
Yet, I felt stuck, without momentum in either my "day job" or my emerging business. At such moments, I often turn to the Bible. One morning, I came across this familiar idea deep in Isaiah 22...He shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open. I imagine that many of us have said that we're waiting on God to open a door or close a door in our lives. But, it's been my experience that God is waiting on ME, not the other way around.
I notice in my reading of the Bible how often He asks us to take the first step of faith. Feet are wet before the Red Sea parts. He takes the five loaves and two fish, multiplies it, and feeds the 5000 families on the hillside. Leading me to become a Future 7 Figure CEO.

My Begin Again story of my "Bolt of Lightning" moment five years ago, while attending a faith/business conference at my home church in Cincinnati. I have heard others say that they have received a Word from God. For me, there was no burning bush or imagery from a dream. I felt an impression as if I were taking a kind of spiritual dictation. I wrote in my online journal app, the following few words: “I will equip social entrepreneurs to build businesses that support Kingdom and charitable missions”.
It was a BIG vision! And almost immediately, I began to feel fear and doubt creep in. In a word, I felt UNQUALIFIED. But, it lead me down a path where I became a Future 7 Figure CEO.

BE-Rich vs. GET-Rich Businesses
As I record this podcast, I’m just a few weeks into the launch of my next business venture, focusing on strategic advisory services to multi-million dollar organizations and business mentorship services to online entrepreneurs. And it's the reason I now identify as a Future 7 Figure CEO.
It’s been a classic “burn the boats” decision, leading into the new decade starting in a few weeks. And it definitely qualifies as my next Begin Again moment.
Earlier this summer, I was prompted to draw contrasts between the first two businesses I’ve built. It was a particularly tough day at work in my corporate tech role and on the flight home, I started thinking about them again with the perspective of being several years removed from active involvement in both. One grew to $4.5MM/year. The other plateaued at $185-200,000/year. I was able to find seven key differences between the successful 7 figure business and my second business venture.
My friends, my first two businesses are living proof between a BE-Rich and a GET-Rich business. Please take this as a cautionary tale in starting your business. Focus on your intention and your shared identity with your ideal clients and not on your bank account.

Episode 3: Fired at Forty
THIS was the moment I became a Future 7 Figure CEO. I vividly remember that Wednesday morning, March 15th. I had just celebrated my 40th birthday just four days earlier. I am scheduled to meet this particular morning at 7:30 am with my board chair of the local non-profit. I’ve been serving as their CEO for the past seven years--a high profile role in a wonderful college community. The meeting with my board chair started punctually at the bottom of the hour. But something was off, there was little eye contact and absolutely no small talk. And then I heard the words no one ever wants to hear… "Effective today, you are no longer employed by our organization"...
Inspirational takeaway: So perhaps you, or someone you know is discouraged by a career or business door which seems to be slammed shut. My encouragement today is for you to follow your curiosity. God planted that inside of you to explore and pursue. Who knows, perhaps in a few weeks or months, it could lead to an entirely new path in your career.

"If you quit, your outcome is certain. When you continue, your possibilities are infinite."
My intention for this podcast.
Begin Again celebrates those turning points in everyone's life: whether to quit or continue. This is especially true in the world of start-ups and online business. Your host, Winston Faircloth, is about to enter another Begin Again season of life as he leaves his role as an executive and officer in a technology company to launch his third start-up/business. It's a leap of faith that will draw upon his prior Begin Again moments, stretching his level of trust and surrender to a Higher Purpose.
Along the way, we will provide a forum where we can all draw inspiration and growth from #BeginAgain moments and the life lessons they have taught us. Many stories will be from Winston's own life experience, other moments will come from his guests who have faced and overcome significant business or personal challenges. Perfect for the Future 7 Figure CEO.
