In this episode, I sit down with Christina Winters, a leadership expert with over 45 + years of experience building and leading high-performing companies, to break down what it really takes to run a top-performing business that lasts.

Christina shares powerful pieces of advice every entrepreneur and leader needs to hear, including how to:

1. Hiring/Firing 

2. What it REALLY takes to run a company

3. How outlook has everything to do with success and failure. 

This conversation goes beyond theory. Christina draws from decades of real-world leadership experience to help business owners stop reacting, start leading intentionally, and build companies that perform at the highest level—without sacrificing values or sustainability.

In the finale, I reflect on the seasons where I sought out expert guidance but didn’t actually implement it. I talk about the mindset traps that made me cling to my own way, the opportunities I missed, and the breakthroughs that finally came when I humbled myself enough to apply what I was taught. This episode closes the series with one of my most transformative shifts.

In this new video, I revisit the phase where I tried to “positive-mindset” my way out of real issues. I explain how avoiding negatives only multiplied them — and how embracing truth, data, and difficult conversations turned my team into a culture of resilience instead of fragility.
