    Challenge, Camaraderie, and Healing Through Archery - Sam Westfall | 10x Your Team Ep. #472

    How do you turn a passion for bow hunting into a business that builds community and changes lives? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Sam Westfall, an Army veteran and founder of Archery in Motion, who has created a unique space where veterans and civilians alike can experience the challenge, camaraderie, and healing that comes from the discipline of the bow. "I break every one of those rules," Sam explains about traditional archery tournaments. Instead of rigid competition formats with scorecards and egos, he's built something different—fun shoots that challenge experienced archers while welcoming complete beginners. From steel targets to moving targets to shots beyond 40 yards, Sam's approach prioritizes the experience of archery over the formality of competition. What makes this conversation particularly valuable is Sam's honest discussion about the entrepreneurial journey. From presenting at a Bunker Labs pitch night where he met Otis, to navigating the challenge of growing both the archery market and his slice of it, Sam shares practical insights about building a business around a lifestyle. Whether discussing the importance of eye placement in archery (and life), the cost of recovering arrows from steel targets, or the philosophy of "no scorecards, no egos," this episode offers lessons for anyone trying to turn their passion into sustainable business. Whether you're a veteran transitioning to entrepreneurship, an outdoor enthusiast interested in archery, or a business owner trying to balance growth strategies, Sam's journey from competitive archer to community builder provides a roadmap for creating something meaningful that serves others while doing what you love. More About Sam: Sam Westfall is an Army veteran, entrepreneur, competitive archer, and veteran community builder who believes archery can change lives. With decades of experience in hunting and shooting sports, he works to create opportunities for veterans and civilians alike to find challenge, camaraderie, and healing through the discipline of the bow.

    We All Go Down, We All Come Back: Submarine Leadership Lessons - Scot Russell | Ep. #471

    What drives someone to continue serving long after their military career ends? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Scot Russell, a US Navy veteran who served as a Submarine Sonar Technician aboard the USS Norfolk (SSN-714) from 1990-1996, and who now dedicates his time to Heroes on the Water, an organization that helps veterans and first responders heal through kayak fishing. "We weren't afraid of anything down there. We all go down, we all come back," Scot explains about submarine culture. That mindset of charging toward the fire—whether it's a literal fire on a submarine or a problem in the business world—has shaped his entire career. From his time listening for threats in the depths of the ocean to his current work in IT leadership, Scot demonstrates how the technical skills and team-focused mentality from submarine service translate directly into civilian success. What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Scot's candid discussion about the power of listening—both literally as a sonar technician and figuratively in understanding people's needs. He shares how the detailed focus required on a submarine, where one mistake could mean disaster for everyone, taught him to connect with people where they are rather than imposing solutions. Whether discussing the unique title of "Chief of the Boat" (COB), explaining why submariners weren't afraid of death because they had each other, or describing how Heroes on the Water creates community for veterans struggling with isolation, Scot's story illustrates the importance of continuing to serve. Whether you're a veteran transitioning to civilian work, a leader interested in building tight-knit teams, or someone looking to make a difference in the veteran community, Scot's journey from submarine service to IT leadership to veteran advocacy provides valuable lessons about translating military experience, the power of community, and finding purpose through service. More About Scot: Scot is a US Navy Veteran who served as a Submarine Sonar Technician from 1990 to 1996. He was attached to the USS Norfolk (SSN-714) fast attack submarine, where he earned his Submarine Warfare (SS). He served in the Gulf War and in support of NATO in other areas. He received a Meritorious Unit Commendation, Navy Expeditionary Medal, National Defense Service Medal, Armed Forces Service Medal, Navy Arctic Service, and NATO Medal. He comes from a long line of Veterans, his Father is a Vietnam Veteran, and his Grandfather served in the Korean War and WW2.

    Guardrails and Swim Lanes: Scaling Without Micromanaging - Rajesh Nagjee | 10x Your Team Ep. #470

    What happens when your company grows faster than your ability to lead it? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Rajesh Nagjee, a CEO mentor and self-described "business physicist" who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis—the widening gap between sophisticated business systems and a CEO's capacity to run them effectively. You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system," Rajesh explains. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries and inspired by Tim Gallwey's Inner Game principles, he reframes leadership through a powerful equation: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game). What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Rajesh's unflinching approach to CEO development. From telling fear-based founders "there's no future for you” to advocating for "fixed outcome, variable process" frameworks, he challenges conventional wisdom about control, values, and leadership. His signature CEO Freedom OS framework, including Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS, has helped clients like Amex KSA and Nielsen MEA achieve returns exceeding 500%. Whether you're a founder feeling overwhelmed by growth, a CEO struggling to delegate effectively, or a leader interested in building decision maturity within your team, Rajesh's systems-based approach offers a roadmap for scaling sustainably without becoming the bottleneck. More About Rajesh: Rajesh Nagjee is a CEO mentor and business physicist who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis, the widening gap between a company’s systems and a CEO’s capacity to run them at scale. You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system. As growth accelerates, you become the bottleneck, driving a supercar with sedan instincts. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries, Rajesh reframes leadership through a systems lens inspired by Tim Gallwey’s Inner Game: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game). His signature framework, CEO Freedom OS, includes four interlocking components: Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS. Clients such as Amex KSA, Nielsen MEA, and BNI Middle East have used it to reduce overwhelm, build decision maturity, and scale sustainably with returns exceeding 500%. Chapter Times and Titles: Introduction: The Business Physicist [00:00 - 05:30] Welcome and meet Rajesh Nagjee What is a "business physicist"? The Velocity Crisis: when systems outpace leadership capacity Setting up the Ferrari metaphor "You Built a Ferrari, But Nobody Upgraded Your OS" [05:30 - 12:44] The gap between sophisticated systems and the CEO's capacity Why founders become bottlenecks at scale The Inner Game vs. Outer Game framework Scaling = Systems minus Interference Fixed Outcome, Variable Process [12:44 - 18:40] The choice: fixed process/variable outcome vs. fixed outcome/variable process.  Guardrails and swim lanes instead of rigid processes Why business school frameworks often fail in practice Creating freedom within structure The beautiful father-son relationship example If You Think You Can Control Anybody, Try Controlling Yourself [18:40 - 24:16] The illusion of control in leadership Why consistency is harder than we think Showing up in your individuality Aligning on outcomes, not micromanaging the process The coffee-making consistency example Confronting the Fear-Based CEO [24:16 - 32:00] How Rajesh helps CEOs overcome the fear of delegation "You're never going to come out of that fear psychosis."

    The Education Gap in Strategic Thinking - Alex M H Smith | 10x Your Team Ep. #469

    What happens when someone gets fired from both L'Oréal and Ernst & Young, then goes on to advise billion-dollar brands like Porsche? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Alex M H Smith, strategy consultant and author of the bestselling "No Bullsh*t Strategy," who's made a career out of cutting through corporate fluff to help businesses find the clear, simple moves that actually work. "Nobody knew what the hell I was doing because nobody understood strategy," Alex jokes about his time as a Chief Strategy Officer. But that lack of understanding is exactly the problem he's spent his career solving. From discussing why most businesses confuse strategy with "what are we going to do next" to revealing the difference between Blue Ocean Strategy and traditional strategic planning, this conversation explores what it really means to find your unique competitive advantage. What makes this episode particularly valuable is Alex's candid discussion about the education gap in strategic thinking. He explains why there was no competitive pitch situation in his entire consulting career—because almost nobody else was doing real strategy work at the small business level. Whether you're a founder trying to escape me-too competition, a leader struggling to articulate your strategic direction, or simply someone who's read all the buzzwords but wants to understand what strategy actually means, Alex's plain-spoken approach provides a roadmap for replacing timid, complicated plans with bold, energizing directions.

    Misery Was the Catalyst - Joe Smarro | 10x Your Team Ep. #467

    What drives someone to leave a successful 15-year law enforcement career to tackle one of the most challenging problems facing first responders? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Joe Smarro, a decorated Marine Corps combat veteran, former San Antonio Police officer, and founder of SolutionPoint+, who's on a mission to eradicate suicide among first responders. "Misery was the catalyst," Joe explains candidly about his transition from police work to entrepreneurship. As one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit—featured in the Emmy award-winning documentary "Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops"—Joe shares powerful insights about trauma, PTSD, and the surprising overlap between the symptoms of post-traumatic stress and entrepreneurship. From discussing how "all behavior is communication" to revealing why he turned to business the way others turn to alcohol, this conversation explores the intersection of mental health, leadership, and purpose-driven work. Joe's approach to de-escalating mental health crises and his framework for understanding human behavior offer valuable lessons for anyone leading teams or navigating their own challenges. Whether you're a first responder, an entrepreneur dealing with the obsessive nature of building a business, or a leader seeking to better understand the people you serve, Joe's journey from battlefield to advocate provides a roadmap for turning trauma into meaningful impact. More About Joe: Joe is a decorated combat veteran from the United States Marine Corps. He honorably served in both Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. After completing his enlistment, he moved to South Texas, where he joined the San Antonio Police Department (2005). Joe was one of the original members of the SAPD Mental Health Unit and helped grow that unit into a nationally recognized best-practices policing program. Joe served on the SAPD MHU for 11 years. In 2018, he gave a TEDx San Antonio talk titled: I See You. He has been highlighted in numerous media outlets and documentaries. Most notably, he is one of the main subjects in the Emmy award-winning documentary: Ernie & Joe: Crisis Cops. Joe is an alum of the Entrepreneurial Bootcamp for Veterans (EBV) at Texas A&M (2016). Once he completed his certification, he founded SolutionPoint+ in 2017 & is the current CEO. Joe voluntarily left the San Antonio Police Department in 2020 to focus on making changes within the behavioral health and criminal justice systems around the country. His big, hairy, audacious goal is to eradicate suicide among all first responders, starting in law enforcement. When Joe is not speaking, training, consulting, or working on his next book, he will most likely be found on a golf course.

    Memories Matter - Charlie Greene | 10x Your Team Ep. #466

    What happens when a personal tragedy becomes the catalyst for helping thousands of families preserve their stories? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Charlie Greene, CEO and Co-Founder of Remento, who turned his experience recording his mom's stories during her cancer diagnosis into a Shark Tank-approved business that's helped over 30,000 families create memory books. "Writing feels like homework," Charlie's mom told him when he gave her a write-your-own-memoir book. So he tried something different—he just hit record and started asking questions. That simple pivot became the foundation for Remento, a product that creates keepsake memory books that completely write themselves, no writing required. From discussing the difference between "family history" and "selling a story" to sharing insights about resilience research in children, this conversation explores the art and science of storytelling. Charlie reveals what he learned about helping people who think "I don't know why my story matters" discover that their experiences are worth preserving—and how reframing it as a gift for your kids rather than your own legacy changes everything. Whether you're an entrepreneur building something deeply personal, a leader interested in the power of storytelling, or someone who wants to preserve family memories before it's too late, Charlie's journey from that first recording with his mom to appearing on Shark Tank offers valuable lessons about building businesses that truly matter.
