Hi, I'm Scott—I help founder-dependent businesses architect operational freedom, bringing 25+ years across Fortune 500 companies and entrepreneurial ventures.

Three perspectives shape how I work:

Fortune 500 Executive: Delivered $50-80M in captured value at Cox Automotive through systems reducing approval cycles by 60%. 74 basis point revenue improvement as SunTrust SVP in highly regulated banking environment. Built operational frameworks serving $1B+ annual revenue.

The Hard Lesson: Along the way, I learned what happens when effective systems aren't in place for yourself. Hospital bed. Blood pressure at stroke levels. The irony? I could architect freedom for others but not myself.

Entrepreneurial Operator: Became multi-location franchise owner during COVID—building operations from scratch and scaling two locations to 100+ members during pandemic shutdown, managing P&L and living the 80-hour weeks that trap most founders. Theory met reality. I learned what founders actually need isn't more frameworks—it's systems aligned with how their business and team actually operate.

Today: Fractional COO deploying The Corvus Methodology™. Measurable results within 90 days: 20+ hours weekly reclaimed, 70% fewer decisions requiring you, teams operating without constant oversight.

WHAT'S YOUR WILDEST DREAM AS A LEADER?

Most founders think small: "Keep the business afloat. Firefight. Survive another quarter."

I used to think small too. Until I realized operational excellence isn't the destination—it's the LAUNCHPAD.

Real winning? Your team runs operations brilliantly while you BUILD what you're meant for.

Here's what most founders miss: You don't need to escape your business. 
You need to MULTIPLY your leadership so you can create your next level.

Foundation First beats staying stuck every time.

ONE decision process taught. 90 days. Someone else owns it completely while you dream bigger.

Not another course about "getting unstuck."
Not theory about survival mode.
Not freedom as just escaping the grind. 

Foundation First = Freedom TO BUILD. 

Document ONE system. 
Empower ONE teammate. 
Watch your calendar clear, so you can dream bigger. 

The repeat. Stack your wins. 

That's how you go from managing the present to building the future.

From operational firefighting to visionary leadership.

From surviving to CREATING your wildest dreams.

What's YOUR wildest dream?

Most think: "If it worked once, I'm good. On to the next thing."

I thought that too, until I realized: one-time success shows possibility—ANCHORED success builds legacies.

Real winning? Your systems hold steady through pressure, turnover, and growth because they’re anchored.

Here's what most founders miss: You don't need more breakthroughs. You need to ANCHOR the ones you've had.

Foundation First beats constant reinvention every time.

ONE win secured with measurement + accountability. 90 days of tracking. Proof it holds under pressure.

Not another new framework to chase.
Not the next shiny strategy that replaces this one.
Not progress that evaporates when things get hard.

Freedom TO build your next level BECAUSE your current level is anchored solid.

Then stack the next one.

That's how you go from temporary wins to permanent capacity.

From good months to sustainable excellence.
From hoping it sticks to KNOWING it holds.

What's YOUR wildest dream that needs anchored foundations?

#WinningWednesday #SustainableSuccess #DreamBuilder #PermanentTransformation

With Thanksgiving coming up, my son was asking me how hard I'm going to work next week.

My answer: I'm not.

ANCHOR doesn't just secure business systems.

Foundation First in your business creates TRADITIONS in your life.

ONE anchored process = sustainable freed capacity
That capacity protected by rhythms = reliable family presence
Your presence becoming tradition = legacy beyond business metrics

As a result, I'm building traditions my kids will carry forward.

Not because business slowed down. Because I ANCHORED the systems that protect what matters.

This weekend: Start one family tradition you want to ANCHOR.

Weekly game night. Sunday breakfast ritual. Monthly adventure day.

Small. Repeatable. Bedrocked in your calendar.

90 days of consistency builds traditions that last generations.

Your business holds when your systems are anchored. Your legacy grows when your presence is too.

What tradition are you anchoring this holiday season?

#FamilyFriday #DreamBuilder #IntegratedLife #LegacyBuilding #WorkLifeIntegration

P.S. I'm not working next week. My systems are ANCHORED to protect what truly matters: family presence and the traditions we're building. While I'm enjoying R&R and building legacy with my family over Thanksgiving week, The Corvus Effect® podcast will be on a "Reruns & Rest" schedule, bringing back some of our best episodes (especially those on Legacy and Time Sovereignty). Catch up on the wisdom and anchor some dedicated R&R for yourself, too!

Transformation without anchors drifts back to chaos.

You built 20 hours of freedom. Your team owns key decisions. You're creating instead of managing.

Now it’s time to ANCHOR that freedom — make it permanent.

Foundation First is about ONE system plus clear accountability rhythms.

Measure for 90 days. Watch success compound because you've locked it in.

Then stack the next one.

I used to celebrate progress at Cox, then watch it evaporate when pressure hit.

Not because the systems failed. Because I never ANCHORED them against drift.

What progress needs permanent anchors this month?

Your biggest dreams need foundations that HOLD, not wins that fade.

#MantraMonday #StrategicFocus #AnchoredSystems #DreamBuilder #LegacyCreation

Honest question.

Two weeks. Fully unplugged. Phone off. Laptop home.

What parts of your business would FALL APART?

Those are your anchors.

Here's your action step this Thursday:

Run the vacation test.

Write down every process or decision that needs your attention during a two-week break.

Don't fix it today. Just NAME what's not actually anchored yet.

Because you can't secure what you won't acknowledge.

The fix? Anchor points.

Weekly check-ins that measure the right things.
Clear decision criteria that guide without you.
Accountability rhythms that catch drift before crisis.

That’s how freedom becomes PERMANENT -- not fragile.

What would break during your absence? Drop it in the comments.

I’ll reply with the best anchor to build first.

Your goal isn’t a business that survives your vacation.

It’s a business that THRIVES because it’s anchored well.

#TakeActionThursday #VacationTest #DreamBuilder #AnchoredFreedom

Quick wins feel good. Systems that stick build your legacy.

You gained 13 hours teaching someone to own that decision. What if that became your team's DEFAULT way of operating?

Your dreams can't live on one-off handoffs -- they need EMBEDDED leadership. 

Foundation First: ONE process that becomes MUSCLE MEMORY. 90 days of reinforcement. Watching it become "just how we do things here."

Then stack the next one.

I used to celebrate the handoff at Cox. Then watch it drift back to my desk within weeks.

Not because my team couldn't. Because I didn't EMBED it deep enough.

What process did you start that needs deeper roots?
Legacy isn’t shortcut-driven. It’s a collection of habits your team keeps running without you.

Drop the one process you want to see truly stick--for good.
Let’s make operational independence a habit, not a fluke.

#MantraMonday #OperationalIndependence #SystemsThatStick #DreamBuilder #LegacyCreation

WHAT WOULD YOU CREATE WITH 13 EXTRA HOURS THIS WEEK?

That strategic partnership you keep putting off?
The service line you sketched two years ago?
The market expansion collecting dust in your notes?

Here's your action step this Thursday:

Write down your boldest business goal. 

What would you pursue if you weren't pulled into operations every hour?

Don't worry about HOW yet. Start by naming the DREAM. 

Because you can't build what you don't claim. 

Next: Identify ONE decision you make weekly that someone else could own.

Not just light delegation. MULTIPLY.

Show them your process. Give them the keys. Watch them run it. Free those hours.

That's how dreams become reality: one multiplied decision at a time.

Drop your wildest dream in the comments.

I'll reply with which constraint to remove first to make space for it.

Your goal isn't just better operations. It's building what you're MEANT to create.

#TakeActionThursday #LeadershipMultiplication #DreamBuilder #FounderVision

My daughter called me out while we were sitting on the couch watching YouTube shorts together.

Phone down. Laptop closed. But my mind was solving that "quick question" from earlier.

EMBED doesn't just apply to business processes.

Foundation First in your work creates PRESENCE in your life.

ONE boundary embedded = mental space actually freed
That boundary respected by your team = evenings truly reclaimed
Your systems running without hovering = being HERE when you're here

I used to think presence meant physical proximity. My family taught me better—it means mental availability.

Not because I'm a bad dad. Because I hadn't EMBEDDED the boundaries that protect what matters.

This weekend: Practice the redirect.

When work thoughts creep in during family time, redirect to the person in front of you.

30 days of that practice EMBEDS presence like nothing else.

Your business grows when your systems work. Your life grows when your presence does too.

What’s one boundary you’re rooting stronger this weekend?

#FamilyFriday #DreamBuilder #IntegratedLife #PresenceOverPerfection #WorkLifeIntegration

P.S. Sharing a snippet from our recent trip to Universal where we I got some Daddy-daughter time on the carousel with Zoe.

You can’t build bigger dreams without learning from the last chapter.

In January, you started with vision.
By December, you have the data.

What did your year teach you about building what truly matters?

Your next level grows FROM reflection, not DESPITE it.

Foundation First: ONE win documented. ONE lesson captured. 90 days of applied learning.

Then stack the next one.

I used to skip reflection at Cox—too busy chasing the next goal to learn from the last one.

Not because I didn't care. Because I didn't realize reflection IS strategic work.

What did this year teach you about your capacity to create?

Your biggest dreams need the wisdom you just earned.

#MantraMonday #StrategicReflection #YearEndReview #DreamBuilder #LegacyCreation

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO WIN AT REFLECTION?

Most think: Identify every mistake. Beat yourself up. Promise to do better next time.

I used to think that too. Until I realized reflection without celebration kills momentum instead of building it.

Real winning? Learning from BOTH your wins AND your struggles to build bigger dreams.

Here's what most founders miss: Your failures teach you what to avoid. Your WINS teach you what to multiply.

Foundation First beats self-criticism every time.

Pick ONE success to analyze deeply:
What made it work?
How do you repeat it?
What does it reveal about your capacity?

No more guilt-driven year-end reviews.
Not theory that changes nothing.
Not ignoring victories while dwelling on mistakes.

Freedom to build 2026 BECAUSE you learned from 2025.

Then stack the next insight.

That's how you go from repeating patterns to evolving them.

From vague regrets to strategic intelligence.

From hoping next year is better to KNOWING why it will be.

What's YOUR biggest win from 2025 worth studying?

#WinningWednesday #StrategicReflection #DreamBuilder #CelebrateAndLearn

YOU'RE SET TO REPEAT THE SAME BUSINESS MISTAKES NEXT YEAR —
UNLESS YOU TAKE REAL TIME TO REFLECT.

You know what kills dreams faster than bad execution?

Repeating the same patterns without learning from them.

January 2025: "This year will be different!"
December 2025: Somehow facing the same bottlenecks, same frustrations, same 70-hour weeks.

I’ve been there. Three years stuck running the same exhausting playbook that never changed because I didn’t pause to learn from the chaos.

Here's what I learned the expensive way: Your biggest visions need REFLECTION, not just ambition.

Foundation First: ONE hour this week. Review what worked, what didn't, what you're NOT repeating.

Not another "fresh start" that ignores the data.

Real reflection. Real learning. Real evolution.

What would you create if you stopped repeating last year's patterns?

That's not hypothetical. That's what strategic reflection creates.

What lesson from this year unlocks next year's dream?

Book a call: https://lnkd.in/ey7xvnWV 

#ToughLoveTuesday #StrategicReflection #DreamBuilder #FractionalCOO #LearningCulture

Most think: They can do it when I'm watching. Good enough.

I used to settle for that too. Until I realized supervised delegation isn't freedom—it's just distributed micromanagement.

But real freedom isn’t about working alongside your team, but letting go so they truly own it.

Here's what most founders miss: You don't need them to execute your way. You need them to OWN their way.

Foundation First beats supervision every time.

ONE process fully transferred. 30 days of zero intervention. Someone else making it better than you did.

Not another "accountability system" that keeps you involved.
Not theory about "empowerment" while you hover.
Not delegation that still requires your permission.

Freedom TO create what you're meant for while they OWN what they're meant for.

Then stack the next one.

That's how you go from teaching processes to EMBEDDING ownership.

From freed hours to sustained capacity.

From one-off wins to LASTING transformation.

What's YOUR wildest dream that needs embedded systems?

#WinningWednesday #SystemsOwnership #DreamBuilder #LastingChange

YOUR YEAR IN THREE QUESTIONS

No long strategic reports. No fancy retreats.

Just three simple questions that unlock your business freedom for next year:

The Dream Builder Reflection

1. What worked? (What system/decision/hire actually freed your capacity?)
2. What didn't? (What drained energy without creating value?)
3. What's ready to multiply? (What 2025 win becomes your 2026 foundation?)

Take 30 minutes. Be honest. Write it down.

Don't just think about it. DOCUMENT it.

Because you can't build on wins you don't acknowledge or learn from losses you don't name.

The pattern? Your answers reveal next year's roadmap.

What worked → Do more of that
What didn't → Stop doing that
What multiplies → Build 2026 around that

Drop your biggest 2025 win in the comments.

I'll reply with how to multiply it in 2026.

Remember: It’s not perfect execution you need. It’s learning that compounds into bigger wins.

#TakeActionThursday #YearEndReview #DreamBuilder #StrategicIntelligence

"It starts with that P word: Pride. We're proud of what we've built. We're proud of that fact, and frankly, there's probably a mathematical formula, but it's 10x worse if your last name or first name is in the building. It escalates. I've seen that happen. But it really goes back to having real conversations and rolling up the sleeves." - Jeff Parnell

📣 TL;DL EPISODE ALERT 📣

For many founders, the path to a successful exit or a sustainable, freedom-granting business seems impossible. It’s hard to prioritize the big picture when you’re constantly fighting fires.

That’s why this week on Too Long; Didn't Listen (TL;DL), we’re unpacking a life-altering perspective with Jeff Parnell, a fractional CEO who literally received a second chance at life via a heart transplant.

Jeff's 30 years of operational excellence, taking companies to $100M+ in revenue and guiding successful exits, taught him the urgency of being proactive. But his 2018 transplant crystallized his mission: Helping founders transition on their terms before it’s too late.

This isn't just B2B advice; it's a heartfelt call to action. We discuss:
- The true cost of delaying your exit strategy (and the multi-million dollar mistake one owner made).
- Why "beautiful notebooks" full of strategy fail (and how to demand execution).
- The raw truth about being a leader, and why your vulnerability is your greatest asset.

You’re not just building a business; you’re building your life.  
Let Jeff’s story inspire you to stop being your company's best employee and become the architect of your own freedom.

"But there comes a time where you have to transition and say, how do I create a business so that I create the freedom I want? How do I create longevity? How do I create stability? And I think the biggest thing makes me crazy watching entrepreneurs is like, you are choosing to set yourself on fire, and want a beautiful, boring stable business. I want to know I can say yes to opportunity, and that's the transition from being bought a job to running a business like a business." - Christine Campbell Rapin

📣 TL;DL EPISODE ALERT 📣

In this week's Too Long; Didn't Listen episode, I’m talking to the incredible Christine Campbell Rapin, a global growth expert who’s helped over 400 companies generate more than $1 BILLION in revenue. Yes, billion with a B.

Christine tells it like it is: you don't have a business; you have a job you built for yourself.

In this short episode, I dive into the simple, actionable shifts you need to make to go from a bottleneck operator to the true CEO of your dreams. Learn:
- How to ditch the 'likable expert' trap and become the must-hire authority that clients seek out.
- Why complexity is not sophistication and how "elegantly simple growth" is your path to freedom.
- The three key "lanes of traffic" for identifying ready-to-buy clients so you stop wasting time on "someday" buyers.
- The profound power of real conversation over complicated tech and why automation is only useful after you’ve figured out your repeatable win.
If you're ready to start designing an operation that allows your value to finally equal your worth, this episode is a blueprint for liberation. 

If you're ready to break free from the daily grind and transition your company to one that truly thrives without you, tune in. It’s time to stop setting yourself on fire and start building a beautiful, boring, stable business that rewards you.

Let's start building your business to thrive without you. This is The Corvus Effect® in action.

#TheCorvusEffect #FounderFreedom #BusinessGrowth

Helping Entrepreneurs Scale from $100K to $1M+. No Fluff. Sharp Strategy. Moves that Matter.

You know the process. 

You documented it. Trained someone. Handed it off. 

But bit by bit, it’s creeping back onto your plate -- one “quick question” at a time.

This is the drift pattern:
What you delegate drifts back unless you embed the boundary.

Here's your action step this Thursday:

Spot the Drift. 

Which process you handed off is finding its way back to you?

Don't blame your team. They're following the pattern YOU'RE creating.

Every "quick answer" teaches them: bring it back to the boss.

The fix? EMBED the boundary.

"That's your call now. What do YOU think?"
"You own this decision. Trust your process."
"I trained you because you're capable. Prove me right."

30 days of redirecting instead of rescuing.

That's how processes EMBED instead of evaporate.

Drop the process that's drifting back in the comments.

I'll reply with your boundary script to EMBED ownership.

Your goal isn't better delegation. It's EMBEDDED systems that free you to build your dreams.

#TakeActionThursday #TrustYourSystems #DreamBuilder #OwnershipCulture

"That's kind of the scary part because building equity is a long game. It takes time. And when you do it right and you do it consistently and everybody's aligned, it can have tremendous financial returns, but it's fragile." - Lysle C. Wickersham 

📣 NEW EPISODE ALERT 📣

On the latest episode of The Corvus Effect®, I sat down with the incredible Lysle Wickersham of BRANDThink. Lysle, a self-described "creative capitalist," has a powerful insight from his time in M&A: Investors don't just fund spreadsheets. They fund stories they believe in.

We talk about:
- Why "brand" isn't just a logo—it's the third, often missing, leg of the value creation stool.
- The difference between a 10x and a 50x multiplier at the negotiating table.
- How building Brand Capital (a registered trademark of Lysle's firm) from Day 1 is the most cost-effective way to reduce investor risk and lower your cost of capital.

Stop waiting to "have time" for the brand. It is the financial strategy.

Tune in to learn how to infuse the right brain into your business strategy and truly become the visionary you started out to be.
