• 188. Culture Matters: How Intentional Values Drive Growth with Mimi Dew
    Nov 1 2024
    Hey Rainmakers! It's Stephen and Chelsey here, and today we're diving deep into culture with the incredible Mimi Dew. Whether you're running a large company or building a small team, Mimi shares why intentional culture is essential for growth and legacy. In this episode, we explore practical tips on fostering culture, starting from your very first hire, and why a strong foundation of values can make all the difference. Mimi and her husband, Jim, have led their company, Dew Wealth, to the Inc. 5000 list three years running, and she credits much of their success to a well-defined, values-driven culture. They share how they were initially reactive about culture but learned the hard way that drifting leads to negative outcomes. Now, with intentional core values like collaboration, transparency, and vision, Dew Wealth has transformed into a place where everyone feels connected to the mission. For Dew Wealth, intentionality starts from day one with every employee, where mission and core values are embedded in the onboarding process. Mimi reveals how they keep these values alive through biweekly team meetings, recognition programs, and quarterly in-person meetups. These touchpoints aren’t just a checkbox—they're what keeps the team aligned, inspired, and focused on serving their clients with heart. Chelsey reminds us that culture isn't limited to the office—it's something we can build at home too. Whether in business or family life, values help create a positive legacy. Listen in and discover how you can start creating a culture of growth and intention!

  • 186. Life Lessons From A Caterpillar 🐛Persistence IN the Resistance
    Oct 18 2024
    Hey Rainmakers! Stephen and Chelsey here. Today, we're unfolding a story you might find a bit unusual but stick with us—it's about what we can learn from a caterpillar's journey. 🐛 Yes, that's right, a caterpillar! This tiny creature’s transformation into a butterfly is not just a miracle of nature but a profound metaphor for our own life and business challenges. Just think about it—the caterpillar has to go through a lot of resistance inside its cocoon before it can emerge as a butterfly. It literally dissolves itself to rebuild into something beautiful. This is much like the challenges we face that seem to break us down, yet they're actually setting the stage for our greatest growth. In this episode, we dive deep into how facing resistance is essential for development. We'll share personal stories of our own struggles and how pushing through, much like the caterpillar, has prepared us for new heights. Whether it's the resistance of starting a new project or navigating tough times, these are not just hurdles; they're opportunities to become stronger. We hope this episode inspires you to look at your challenges a little differently—maybe even with a bit of excitement, knowing they’re preparing you for what's next! Hit play, get inspired, and remember, just like the caterpillar, you have the strength to transform into something even more remarkable. PS! Follow the links below to connect with us on IG!
