  • Control vs. Collaboration: What I’m Learning About Leading with Others

    I’ve always seen myself as a visionary. A leader. Someone who takes the pressure, makes the plan, and carries it—alone if I have to. That’s how I’ve built businesses. That’s how I’ve navigated fatherhood. And for the most part, it’s worked.

    Until it didn’t.

    This past week, it hit me like a wall:

    I know how to lead.
    I know how to fix.
    But I don’t really know how to connect.
    Not in the middle of the mess. Not when the plan breaks.

    The Breaking Point

    We made a plan as a family. It was solid—clear, structured, well-intentioned. But when things didn’t go as expected (as they never do), everything spun out. Ranger was overwhelmed. Rebekah was frustrated. I was carrying the emotional weight of six people and trying to keep everything calm and connected… while tasks and emotions started piling on me with no space to process or prioritize.

    I broke.

    The truth? When the plan breaks, I break too.
    Not because I’m fragile—but because I was never taught how to stay in the mess with others. I was taught to go it alone. Handle it. Fix it. Lead from above.

    But Rebekah called out the truth:

    “You don’t lead with people. You lead above them.”

    And she was right.

    My Origin Story

    It’s wild how much of this is rooted in childhood.
    I remember show-and-tell in kindergarten. I brought my adopted brother Isaac to class, but when it started, I sat at my desk instead of joining the class on the rug. I watched, didn’t participate.

    Same in basketball. Great at drills, camps, isolated performance. But get me into a team environment? I struggled. I didn’t know how to flow in the game. To play my part inside the system.

    I don’t think it’s because I didn’t want to.
    I think it’s because I didn’t know how. And no one showed me.

    The Big Realization

    This is who I’ve been:

    • Quick-start innovator
    • Problem-solver
    • Independent operator

    But if I’m honest?
    That’s not the next level.

    The next level isn’t more independence.
    It’s collaborative problem-solving.
    It’s not “crush the plan from the top.”
    It’s co-create the path with others.

    It’s not “run the system.”
    It’s expand inside it.

    What I’m Learning Now

    • Containment > Control. I’m not here to command others’ emotions. I’m here to create space where they’re safe to exist—and move forward together.
    • Presence > Performance. My leadership doesn’t have to come from pressure. It can come from proximity.
    • Expansion happens inside the system. I don’t shrink by stepping in—I grow. We grow.

    I’m learning to lead with Rebekah, not above her.
    To co-regulate with Ranger, not fix him.
    To show up on the rug, not just watch from the desk.

    And it’s hard. But it’s holy.

    I’m not just building a company. I’m rebuilding my default settings.

    And I’m not doing it alone.

    Digital Growth Training Transcript

    Introduction: Why This Training Matters

    • You’re likely here because your marketing feels random and unpredictable.
    • Today’s goal: escape that spiral and rebuild a predictable, momentum-driven system.
    • This isn’t just theory—this is deeply personal and proven through real experiences.

    The Marketing Mess We’ve All Lived Through

    What It Looks Like:

    • Scattered efforts: social media, blog posts, PR, paid ads, events—just stuff.
    • Feels like throwing spaghetti at the wall—you hope something sticks.

    The Pain:

    • No idea what’s working.
    • Pressure to do more with no clear ROI.
    • Burnout. Confusion. Chaos.

    Key Insight:

    You’re trying to grow inside a system without a target. That’s the core issue.

    You’re Not Crazy—Your System is Broken

    Signs Your Marketing is Off Track:

    • You don’t know what to change, stop, or scale.
    • Everyone’s reacting instead of planning.
    • You’re spending more, but getting less.

    Important Truth:

    Random = Reactive = Expensive

    What’s Really Causing the Chaos?

    It’s Not Lack of Effort.

    • It’s a lack of alignment.
    • You’re not optimizing bad tactics—you’re operating in a broken system.

    Imagine This:

    What if you knew—without a doubt—that everything you did was paying off?

    The Real Fix: Strategic Clarity + Alignment

    The Roadmap:

    1. Diagnose what’s really broken.
    2. Reveal the gap between strategy and execution.
    3. Build a system to scale, not just survive.

    The Discovery Depth Model

    • Every problem has three layers:
      • Surface Symptom – “We need more leads.”
      • Systemic Issue – Broken processes and miscommunication.
      • Strategic Confusion – Misaligned goals, unclear priorities.

    Most marketing problems aren’t tactical. They’re strategic misalignments in disguise.

    The Ten-Three-One Growth Pyramid

    How to Align the Whole Business:

    • 10-Year Vision – Big picture of where you’re going.
    • 3-Year Mission – Bold economic goal.
    • 1-Year Goals – What must be true this year to stay on track?

    “You don’t need better tactics. You need bigger vision.”

    The Acceleration Loop: Turning Marketing Into Money

    Four Phases of Growth:

    1. Alignment – Set vision and metrics.
    2. Activation – Build your marketing infrastructure.
    3. Amplification – Launch content, campaigns, and strategies.
    4. Acceleration – Optimize and scale what’s working.

    Most companies start at step 3 and amplify chaos. You need to start at step 1.

    Before & After: What Real Momentum Looks Like

    BeforeAfter
    Random acts of marketingResolute marketing system

    What’s Holding You Back?

    • Write down:
      • What’s stopping you from building a real system?
      • What resources do you already have?
      • What could success look like in 90 days?

    Your Two Options

    1. Keep Trying: More stress, less ROI, more chaos.
    2. Map the Plan: Join our Digital Strategy Workshop and build the system.

    Final Thoughts: Why Your Marketing Isn’t Working

    • Marketing isn’t magic—it’s a system.
    • Align your vision, team, and tools.
    • Stop guessing. Start building.
    • This isn’t just marketing—it’s a momentum movement.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Will this work for my business?

    Yes. This system is built on universal principles: systems, psychology, and alignment. It adapts to your industry.

    What if the problem is me… or my team?

    If you were better, the results would be better. But blaming isn’t the answer. Build a system they can succeed within.

    How much time and effort will this take?

    It takes a team with range: leadership, design, dev, strategy, ads, and content. The full build takes 3 years, but momentum starts with the first step.

    Can we do this in-house?

    Yes, if you have the people and the process. If not, add a team like Structure that’s built for it.

    Do we need team alignment before we start?

    Yes. Alignment is step one. Without it, you’ll amplify chaos instead of clarity.

  • Project Visible Mastery: How Fitness Transformed My Business (and My Life)

    Today I want to reflect on how fitness and physical development tie directly to personal growth, and even more so, professional development.

    For a long time, I brushed it off.

    “Exercise is important,” they said. It sounded like another obligatory checklist item—like when Christians say, “You need to read your Bible.” It felt like pressure or judgment, not something meaningful.

    But that mindset? That was ignorance. Straight up.

    The Shift

    There is a direct line between fitness and professional growth. Not just success (because success is a messy mix of grit, timing, and luck), but real, tangible growth.

    I love the quote: “Business problems are just personal problems in disguise.”

    Let me show you how true that’s been for me.

    May 2022 vs. May 2025

    Three years ago, I was 190lbs, constantly sick, and battling chronic sinus infections (caused by drinking too much).

    • Hungover and anxious almost daily.
    • My business was stuck at $250K/year, with no clear direction.
    • I looked to my dad for vision and didn’t get it. I was angry, bitter, and frustrated.
    • I felt stuck and reactive—to clients, to family, to friends.
    • My parenting was filled with unspoken expectations and pressure.
    • We were driving a 2003 Mazda MPV I maintained myself (I’m no mechanic).
    • Our family had just spent a month in Tucson trying to escape our rut.

    Now?

    In May 2025:

    • I’m 160lbs, healthy, and rarely get sick.
    • I sleep 7.5–8 hours a night, wake at 5:30am, and rarely drink.
    • I run a $1M/year business with a clear path to $10M.
    • I have three coaches and a team of five.
    • My 20-year vision is clear, and I have the strategy to back it.
    • I lead my family with curiosity and coaching, not judgment.
    • We drive a 2017 Suburban, not fancy but someone else maintains for me.
    • We live in Scottsdale, AZ, and my life—inside and out—is entirely different.

    What Changed?

    A year ago, on a hike with my client Max, I said something that became a turning point:

    “Running changed my life.”

    But it wasn’t just running. It was fitness as a whole.

    Running forced me to stop drinking. To eat better. To sleep more. To lift weights and avoid injury. To set goals and track them.

    Fitness transformed me physically and mentally.

    And that transformation? It bled into every other area of my life.

    Fitness = Business

    Building a healthy body and building a healthy business follow the same rules:

    • Consistent inputs
    • Measurable outputs
    • Time

    The process is the same.

    But here’s the kicker: if I had only improved my business systems without improving myself, I would’ve kept sabotaging my own progress.

    By working on me first, I became the kind of person who could build something great.

    That’s why I say:

    “Your business will never outgrow you.”

    I’d take it further:

    “Your family will never outgrow your failure.”
    “Your future will never outgrow your fear.”

    These may sound intense, but they’re what I’m living into right now.

    From Complaining to Mastery

    A mentor once told me:

    “Complaining is fighting harder for your limitations than your possibilities.”

    I used to complain. A lot.

    But what changed my trajectory was deciding to:

    • Ask for help (instead of complain)
    • Own my sh*t (instead of blame)
    • Face my fear (instead of run)
    • Invest in myself (instead of objects)

    Why Some People Seem Untouchable

    People often look at elite performers and say:

    “It must be luck. Or maybe they had it handed to them.”

    No.

    The real elite have mastered themselves. They’re obsessed with being the best version of themselves. They run on internal standards, not external validation.

    They live what Yvon Chouinard described:

    “A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between work and play… he simply pursues his vision of excellence… and leaves others to determine if he is working or playing.”

    Dan Martell echoed this with:

    “Looks like work. Feels like play.”

    That’s the goal.

    The System: Project Visible Mastery

    I’m running on a system right now. Not motivation. Not hype.

    Because let’s be real:

    • At 5:00am, I’m more enthusiastic about staying in bed than going to the gym.
    • After dinner, I’m more excited about dessert than a protein shake.

    But I have a framework:

    • Inputs: Daily Non-Negotiables (fitness, food, sleep, reflection)
    • Outputs: Measurable goals (visible abs, bicep vein, weight, lifts, energy)
    • Feedback Loop: Weekly reflection, journaling, and adjustments

    Sound robotic? Maybe.

    But for me, it’s freedom. It’s discipline. It’s growth.

    “How you do anything is how you do everything.”

    If I’m playing big in my health, I’m playing big in my business. If I’m growing in my personal life, I’m growing in my leadership.

    The Deeper Truth

    You don’t just improve the systems you own in isolation.

    You grow them by growing you.

    And yeah, you can build a business that runs without you. But if you implode, disappear, or lose your identity… what then?

    Your business is personal.

    You sleep in the bed you made. If it sucks, you suck. If it’s baller, you’re baller.

    That’s ownership.

    Final Reflection

    I’m calling this journey Project Visible Mastery. A mission where my external fitness is a symbol of internal alignment.

    Visible abs. Bicep vein. $10M business. Thriving marriage. Powerful parenting. True peace.

    Not either/or. Both.

    Because when your health improves your business, and your business improves your health—that’s the loop that compounds.

    And everything transformational? It usually starts by going backwards.

    Let’s build from there.

    The Lead-to-Sale Solution: Why Your Leads Aren’t Converting

    Summary: Lead To Sale

    If your sales team is chasing leads that go nowhere while your marketing team swears leads are up, this training is for you. In this session, Simon, founder of Structure, breaks down why the handoff between marketing and sales often fails, and what leaders must do to fix it. The answer isn’t more leads—it’s more alignment. Learn why your leads aren’t converting with our lead to sale solution.

    What This Digital Growth Training Covers

    • Why marketing might be “working” while sales stay stuck
    • The 9 root causes of poor lead-to-sale conversion
    • How to build a system that aligns marketing and sales
    • What readiness means for your company
    • The Relationship Revenue Model explained
    • How to stop sabotaging your own growth
    • Tools and resources to start fixing the leaks
    • Real questions leaders ask (with honest answers)

    Key Points & Takeaways

    • Your sales problem is an alignment problem. Sales and marketing must share a clear roadmap.
    • Lead quality isn’t the issue—it’s readiness. Leads may be interested, but not yet ready to buy.
    • More tools won’t fix broken systems. Technology amplifies what already exists—good or bad.
    • Your sales team shouldn’t feel like cold callers. If they do, your system is broken.
    • Track handoffs like a relay race. Leads drop where transitions aren’t clearly defined.
    • Success compounds with consistency. A system like the Acceleration Loop builds momentum over time.

    Action Steps for Leaders

    • Audit your lead handoffs. Where are the transitions? Where do leads drop off?
    • Define what “sales-ready” means. Align marketing and sales on this definition.
    • Implement the Relationship Revenue Model. Use it to map your entire customer journey.
    • Build a lead-nurturing system. Don’t waste 80% of the leads that aren’t ready yet.
    • Install the Acceleration Loop. Alignment → Activation → Amplification → Acceleration—on repeat.
    • Stop the blame game. Shift from finger-pointing to problem-solving with your teams.
    • Invest in long-term systems. Quick fixes lead to burnouts; strategy leads to scale.

    Digital Growth Training Transcript

    Introduction: Why This Lead To Sale Training Matters

    • Welcome from Simon, CEO of Structure
    • Gratitude for your time and leadership
    • This session is the culmination of a multi-part series

    Diagnosing the Real Problem

    • Your CRM is full but stale
    • Marketing reports are up, but sales stay flat
    • Frustration builds: marketing blames sales, sales blame leads
    • Root issue? Misalignment and unreadiness

    Lead To Sale: Nine Reasons Your Leads Aren’t Converting

    1. Leads are too early. They’re not bad, just not ready.
    2. Marketing and sales aren’t aligned. No shared definition of success.
    3. Manual systems drop leads. Disconnected tools equal chaos.
    4. You’re tracking the wrong metrics. Impressions ≠ outcomes.
    5. Content doesn’t advance leads. Great creative doesn’t move people forward.
    6. Sales is chasing, not closing. Leads feel warm, but aren’t ready.
    7. Too many tactics, no strategy. Tools and trends aren’t a growth plan.
    8. You’re misusing technology. It amplifies dysfunction if not built on process.
    9. No lead nurturing system. 73% of leads need nurturing before buying.

    The Solution: Aligning Around a Shared Journey

    • Use the Relationship Revenue Model
    • Align your sales and marketing on one map
    • Clarify handoffs like a relay race—track the transitions
    • Implement the Structure Digital Growth System using the Acceleration Loop

    The Acceleration Loop Framework

    • Alignment: Define the customer journey
    • Activation: Build infrastructure and systems
    • Amplification: Launch campaigns, generate leads
    • Acceleration: Review, refine, optimize, and reinvest

    False Fixes to Avoid

    • Slashing marketing budgets without strategy
    • Blaming the team instead of the process
    • Hiring more sales reps before solving the handoff
    • Assuming lead quality is the only issue

    Lead To Sale Frequently Asked Questions

    • Q: Are we handing off leads too early? A: Maybe. Define marketing-qualified vs. sales-qualified leads clearly.
    • Q: How do we know a lead is sales-ready? A: They’ve moved from awareness to desire. They take clear action (call, quote, demo).
    • Q: How do we connect marketing to revenue? A: Use a system that measures inputs, processes, and outputs. Check out the Growth Mapping Method.

  • How I’m Building a Movement with My Mission—Not Just a Personal Brand

    I’ve spent my entire career creating content.

    Blog posts. Podcasts. Newsletters. Webinars. You name it.

    I’ve taken brands from zero to millions of site visitors. Built massive followings. Had viral blog posts and million-view YouTube videos. Every format, every platform.

    And yet…

    I’ve always struggled to create content for myself.

    Maybe you find yourself in a similar situation.

    I could create for others. For brands. For campaigns. For growth. But when it came to creating content around me — my thoughts, my voice, my journey — I froze.

    It always felt flat. One-dimensional. Not real.

    I tried. God knows I tried. Podcasts, blogs, videos, social posts. Since the day we launched Structure, I’ve been trying to give it depth. But something always held me back.

    Part of the problem? I’m a writer. A picky one. No one could ever write it quite right. No one captured my voice, tone, depth, or intent.

    No matter how many editorial guides I created… it never quite hit.

    Early on, I didn’t really know what I was great at. Structure was doing whatever companies needed. But in the last few years, I’ve gotten painfully clear on my own strengths, weaknesses, superpowers, and blind spots.

    And that’s helped me clarify the kind of content we actually should be creating—for clients, and for ourselves.

    One of my biggest unlocks came from something I call the Content Cascade. It’s a model I built (inspired by Gary Vee, Joe Rogan, and other high-output creators) where:

    • One long-form piece becomes the source.
    • That gets broken into blogs, emails, social clips, and more.
    • Others help distribute. The fire gets multiplied.

    This unlocked scale for our clients at Structure.

    But it still didn’t solve me.

    Because at the core, I held a belief: “If I want it done right, I have to do it myself.”

    Turns out that belief was strangling me. It kept me stuck in what I wasn’t best at, obsessing over every detail instead of simply showing up.

    Worse: I started to believe **”I suck at content.” ** Which is insane—because I’ve built content machines that reach millions.

    But that belief formed a loop:

    • I’d avoid.
    • Then overcontrol.
    • Then stall.

    And all the while, I knew deep down: this wasn’t about content.

    This was about me.

    The Realization

    Last week, Jackson (our sales and marketing leader) said something that hit:

    “The content we’re putting out still doesn’t have the depth. It’s not quite you.”

    That cut deep. Because it was true.

    He’s helping us move forward. He’s keeping things alive. And he’s good.

    But I realized something important:

    When you create around a brand, you can stay surface-level. But when you create around a person, it demands depth.

    People are messy. Dynamic. Multidimensional. And that’s what makes them powerful.

    That’s also what makes them hard to write for.

    And I realized—maybe for the first time:

    It’s not that I struggle with content. I struggle with myself.

    With how much truth I want to share. With how vulnerable I’m willing to be. With how much of my actual journey I’m willing to live in the open.

    Enter the Character Diamond

    Dan Martell dropped something that codified the missing piece for me. He calls it the Character Diamond:

    1. Superpower — What you’re exceptional at.
    2. Kryptonite — The shadow side of that gift.
    3. Behind the Scenes — The messy, unfiltered process.
    4. Mission — The deeper why.

    Here’s mine:

    • Superpower: Visionary growth. Seeing the future. Creating clarity where there was confusion.
    • Kryptonite: Command without connection. Pushing too hard. Driving over people instead of with them.
    • Behind the Scenes: I’m on a mission to scale Structure to $10M in 3 years. And the process is messy.
    • Mission: Business is personal. Relationships determine results. I’m building legacy through people, not just profits.

    And when you look at that all together, you start to see the arc. The story.

    And most importantly—the movement.

    The Model: My 4 S’s of Stacking Success

    This framework landed for me in a way I didn’t expect. It’s how I operate:

    1. Start — I spark the fire. Quick action, vision, energy.
    2. Shape — I hand it off, give structure, and set direction.
    3. Superpower — I re-enter to inject clarity, energy, and alignment.
    4. Scale — I build systems and people to grow it beyond me.

    This isn’t regression. This is rhythm. This is how I build.

    And that’s where I am with content right now: I’m in the Superpower phase. Not fixing. Elevating.

    So What Now?

    I’m done chasing perfect content.

    I’m becoming a Movement-Maker rooted in:

    • Reflection
    • Rhythm
    • Realness

    Here’s what that means for me:

    • 1 long-form reflection per week (like this)
    • 1–2 short-form sparks drawn from real life
    • My team builds the system around my rhythm

    This is how I finally show up consistently, strategically, soulfully.

    This isn’t extra work. It’s just an extension of my life.

    Final Thought

    I don’t want to impress. I want to document the tension I live in—and share the clarity.

    That’s where movement lives.

    I’m not just building Structure. I’m igniting a movement—around the ideas, patterns, and growth that are changing how people live, work, lead, and grow.

    And it starts by showing up. Not with polish. But with presence.

    Let’s build it in public. Let’s go pro. Let’s make it real.

    • The Lead Leak Model identifies where those transitions fail.
    • Fix the system, not just the team.

    Digital Growth Training Transcript

    Introduction: Welcome to Turnaround Thursday

    • Simon opens with passion and clarity—this is about transformation.
    • Structure helps under-digitized, real-world companies grow systematically.

    The Real Problem: Leads Leak

    • Your team is working hard, but not seeing results. Why?
    • Warm leads stall. Marketing content is good. Sales is frustrated.
    • The real issue? Systemic breakdowns—lead leaks.

    The Lead Leak Model: Simple but Powerful

    • Visualize your sales pipeline like plumbing.
    • Leads enter… but leak out at every stage.
    • Focus on plugging leaks, not just adding more water.

    More ≠ Better

    • More money, ads, and traffic won’t solve a leak problem.
    • “Less leaks, not more water.” Quality beats quantity every time.

    The System You Need: Relationship Revenue Model

    • Uses a hotel analogy (Global Ambassador) to explain client journey.
    • It starts with free discovery, moves to entry-level offers, then core products, and finally, a premium experience.
    • Each stage must flow into the next without friction.

    The Marketing Funnel Flip: Attraction Pathway

    • Awareness → Interest → Desire → Action.
    • Marketing builds curiosity. Proof builds trust. Conversation builds conversion.
    • Most drop-offs happen at the transitions.

    Tool: Leak Detection Worksheet

    • Helps you locate the exact spots where your system is breaking down.
    • Gives a clear action plan to fix each leak.

    • Don’t blame and reshuffle the team.
    • Don’t discount just to get revenue.
    • Don’t adopt shiny tools without a system.
    • Don’t micromanage. Emotion drives motion—use it wisely.

    FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

    • Is this a marketing or sales issue?
      • Both. And it’s a system issue first.
    • Are we targeting the wrong customers?
      • Probably not. You’re losing them in the funnel.
    • Do we need better tech to fix this?
      • Tech is a tool, not a solution. Fix the process first.

      • That’s a short-term fix that erodes your brand and profit.
