I loved the aroma, the flavor, and the sense of relaxation that came with smoking a fine cigar. After years of smoking and collecting cigars, I decided to start my own cigar business. I traveled the world with my wife visiting tobacco farms and factories to learn the art of cigar making. I met with experts and studied the industry inside and out. Finally, I felt I had enough resources to start my own cigar lounge. Thus the idea of Sherri's Executive Lounge was conceived. This name was chosen to Honor my mom who had passed recently. My goal with Sherri's Executive Lounge Is to provide a world-class experience for cigar enthusiasts, business professionals, and anyone seeking a refined space to unwind and connect, and I can't wait to have you come in and enjoy this truly unique space.

“We are in an environment where everyone's opinion matters, as long as it has data or experience behind it.” - Kyle McDowell
Episode Summary:
Begin with WE!
Kyle McDowell joins SF25 to discuss a new type of leadership and team building focused on 10 principles. Understand how Kyle is making a difference in lives worldwide and how you can apply these principles today.
About Kyle McDowell:
Kyle McDowell is a USA Today and WSJ bestselling author, speaker, and leadership expert.
For nearly three decades, McDowell has amassed an impressive track record of delivering great business results while leading tens of thousands of employees at some of America’s largest corporations, including United Health Group, CVS Health, and Bank of America.
However in spite of those results, McDowell found himself unfilled and apathetic toward the environments he actually helped to create.
He knew there had to be a better way.
If he was going to make a lasting difference, McDowell knew he needed to lead differently. He wanted to be the leader he never had. He knew people shouldn’t come to work with fear in their hearts.
He turned his back on the big paycheck and golden handcuffs to launch Kyle McDowell Inc., a global leadership and cultural transformation firm committed to developing authentic and courageous leaders who have a passion for cultivating a better, WE-oriented, work life.
With this realization, he crafted his guiding principles for life and leadership, THE 10 WEs.
WE do the right thing. Always.
WE lead by example.
WE say what WE’re going to do. Then WE do it.
WE take action.
WE own our mistakes.
WE pick each other up.
WE measure ourselves by outcomes. Not activity.
WE challenge each other.
WE embrace challenge.
WE obsess over details.
These ten principles would go on to be McDowell’s code of behavior, first for himself, and then for those he led. No difference – no leadership gap. It was how strongly the principles resonated from the new intern to the tenured Sr. Executive – from tiny cubicle to corner office which compelled McDowell to think bigger.
“With my whole heart, I suddenly realized this is my purpose on this planet. To develop caring leaders who want to leave a legacy that lasts well beyond their tenure with any organization. I’m on a mission to rid corporate America of the toxic traits so many of us of witnessed and even endorsed at times.”
The mission included writing his first book, the Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestseller, Begin With WE: 10 Principles for Building and Sustaining a Culture of Excellence.
Today McDowell is regularly invited to speak at business, educational, and nonprofit institutions and events, and has been featured in major national publications, such as The Wall Street Journal, Forbes, and Inc. Magazine.
McDowell holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of South Florida and an MBA from Northwestern University’s Kellogg School of Management. He lives in Tampa, Florida.

“It's really about building the most quality units and infrastructure to make sure the guests know they are going to have the experience that they want when they come.”
About Cardinal Vacation Homes:
Founded in January of 2020, Cardinal Vacation Homes provides luxury vacation rentals in St. Louis and surrounding areas.
Owners Jimmy Haley and Bryan Brown were college baseball teammates at Washington University in St. Louis and are natives of the city. Once rivals in High School, the two have formed a lifelong friendship and decided in 2019 that it was time to take it to the next level.
Both Jimmy and Bryan have worked at large companies for most of their careers. Frustrated with small annual raises and monotonous commission structures, they decided to take matters into their own hands.
Acquiring their first property at the very beginning of the Covid pandemic, with the intent of starting a TRAVELING company seemed to be an insurmountable obstacle. However, providing top notch cleaning/sanitization and customer service for those who HAD to travel allowed the business to grow despite the circumstances.
Today, travel is BACK and stronger than ever. Cardinal Vacation Homes strives to provide quality homes for visitors of our fine city for years to come.
