Liz Stewart operates Tinting K.C. in Lenexa, Kansas with her son, Rory. They provide outstanding quality of service, and their 105 5-star Google reviews prove it. Liz, Rory, Jared, and Josh have ensured every customer receives the best service and as a result they have hundreds of raving fans in the Kansas City metro.

TKC grew during the pandemic, operates 100% debt-free, and doesn’t limit their services to tinting windows and applying paint protection film to cars. They provide security film to the windows of schools, religious institutions, and government buildings. Many of the services they provide today are a result of customers coming to them - asking them to do things they had not yet done as a shop. That has served them very well, by opening new opportunities.

I have personally experienced the culture and work ethic at Tinting K.C. and am proud to release this interview. I hope everyone will listen and learn from Liz!

As a follow up to “RE: Empowerment” I talk about leader-follower vs leader-leader structure. I saw these dichotomies in every professional role I’ve ever held. David Marquet helped me figure out a simple way to articulate them.

I use 5M2L segments to provide simple talks about leadership, processes, talent strategy, recruiting, books, or other value-added lessons I’ve learned lately.

Listen on your drive, on a break, or use in discussions for team meetings.

Let me know if there is a topic you’d like to hear me speak on in the future!

“Leader-follower” and “Leader-leader” terms from “Turn the Ship Around!” by David Marquet.

The word “empowerment” has its place. However, I believe its been overused in recent years. In many ways, in the wrong context within business culture and leadership teachings. I will explain that a bit in this segment, with some supporting info from David Marquet's "Turn the Ship Around!"

5M2L segments feature me talking about leadership, processes, talent strategy, recruiting, books, or another value-added lesson I’ve learned lately. Listen on your drive, on a break, or for discussions in team meetings.

"Turn the Ship Around!" by David Marquet

Jeremiah is a pillar of a man in the Kansas City Region.  He is determined to inspire employees to freedom, by teaching them how to be entrepreneurs. In his family, everyone is an entrepreneur.  Even his children have begun building their own businesses…whether they are selling homemade brownies, providing paid pet-care to their neighbors, or learning the family lawn sprinkler business, they are learning to provide value to others (beyond the lemonade stand).

Jeremiah’s experience, insights, and wisdom run deeply through his words and all who have the honor of knowing him.  My hope for this episode is that it will get listeners to challenge themselves to think differently about the possibilities for their lives, just as I did when I went through the first ShiftKC cohort.
