What does it take to go from scrubbing out junked cars at 18 to running a $10 million nonprofit as CEO at 30? Colin Weatherwax never chased the title. He just kept showing up, learning every role, and growing inside one organization, until the day he was called to lead it.

In this episode, Colin shares the raw story of becoming interim CEO just days after his mentor and boss suddenly passed away, inheriting a lawsuit, a board he'd never met, and finances he didn't fully understand, all in his first month. He talks about the three business coaches he hired on his own, what key man insurance is, why every business owner needs it, and how his journey from nonprofit CEO led him to entrepreneurship in the insurance world.

If you've ever wondered whether staying loyal to one organization is worth it, or if the best leader might already be in the room, this episode is your answer.

What you'll learn:

→ How to rise from entry level to CEO by treating every role as a learning opportunity

→ What "key man insurance" is and why it could save your business

→ How to lead through grief, legal crises, and financial uncertainty at the same time

→ Why hiring coaches is a sign of strength, not weakness

→ What reflection during career transitions actually looks like in practice
