Drew Sutton Leadership

Your culture problem may not be a people problem.

It may be a goal-setting problem.

Today at 11:00 AM, I’m going live with Richard Lewine, Founder & President of RSL Consulting Group, for a conversation on:

Leadership Causes Culture: How Goals Create Sustainable Growth

Richard has spent decades helping business owners and leadership teams turn vision into action through better goals, better people decisions, and more sustainable leadership.

One of his core beliefs is simple and powerful:
“It is always about the people.”
But here’s the tension:

A lot of leaders want a stronger culture…
…but they have unclear goals.

They want more accountability…
…but the team is not aligned.
They want sustainable growth…

…but everyone is stuck reacting to the urgent.
That’s what we’re unpacking today.

We’ll talk about how leaders create culture, why goals are more than business targets, and how vision becomes real when it turns into daily action.

Join us live today at 11:00 AM.
Bring your questions.
This one will be practical.

Everyone is chasing the trend.
Jeff Barrett is more interested in the counter-trend.
That line stopped me.

Jeff is the Chief Evangelist at the Shorty Awards, Board Chair of the Creators Guild of America, Advisor to Creators 4 Mental Health, host of It’s No Fluke, and one of the most naturally gifted hosts I’ve ever sat across from.

I was on his show recently, and I was genuinely stunned by his energy, curiosity, and ability to make a conversation feel completely alive.
So I knew I had to bring him onto mine.

In this episode, we talk about:
- Why some people are magnetic and others are just loud.
- Why promotion is really about surprise.
- How AI can make truly creative people more dangerous — and make generic thinkers even more generic.
- Why the future of influence may belong to people with taste, trust, restraint, and timing.

The big question behind the episode:
In a world where everyone is chasing the same thing, how do you become someone worth paying attention to?

This was a fun one.
Jeff Barrett, thanks for bringing the energy.

Most corporate professionals don’t need another promotion.
They need a smarter path to ownership.

Today at 3:45 PM ET, I’m going live with Gregory K. Mohr, founder of Franchise Maven and author of Real Freedom, for a conversation called:

Local Business Ownership Is Back: How Franchising Gives Corporate Professionals a Smarter Start

We’re talking about the path from corporate life to local business ownership — without having to start completely from scratch.

A lot of leaders are asking:

“Is this job really my long-term plan?”
“Could I own a business without inventing everything myself?”
“How realistic is it to replace W-2 income?”
“What does semi-passive franchise ownership actually look like?”
“How do I know if franchising is right for me?”
Gregory brings a grounded, honest perspective to this conversation.
One of my favorite lines from him is:
“There is a franchise out there for everyone, but not everyone is for franchising.”

That’s exactly why this conversation matters.

We’ll cover:
� The resurgence of local business ownership
� Franchise models beyond restaurants
� Semi-passive and manager-run ownership
� Funding a franchise
� Replacing W-2 income realistically
� Midlife career reinvention
� The leadership shift from employee to owner

If you’re a corporate professional, mid-level manager, or leader who has ever wondered whether ownership could be your next chapter, this episode is for you.

Drop OWNERSHIP in the comments if this topic hits home.

For years, most people assumed AI would mainly disrupt office jobs.

But what happens when robotics start entering the service trades?

That future is already here.

On Episode 119 of The Drew Sutton Leadership Show, I sit down with Alex Smith of Green Solutions Landcare to discuss how AI, automation, and autonomous technology are beginning to reshape traditional blue-collar industries in real time.

And honestly… this conversation hit close to home for me.

As a freshman in college, I briefly worked on autonomous tractor projects, so seeing robotics now move into industries like landscaping feels like watching a long-predicted shift finally arrive.

But this episode isn’t really about mowing grass.

It’s about:
• Leadership during technological disruption
• Innovation inside traditional industries
• AI entering the service trades
• Operational efficiency
• Workforce evolution
• And what separates companies that adapt from companies that disappear

We tackle some massive questions:

• Will AI and robotics replace skilled trade jobs?
• Why are service industries becoming the next frontier for automation?
• What do business owners misunderstand about AI?
• How do leaders introduce technology without creating fear?
• What will the service trades look like 10 years from now?

Alex brings a grounded, practical perspective from the front lines of innovation — where customer experience, operational efficiency, sustainability, and robotics are all colliding.

Episode Title:
“A Cut Above: How AI & Robotics Are Transforming The Service Trades”

This conversation opens up a MUCH bigger future-of-work discussion than most people expect.
