Lead Like a Leader

Find Your Cool Series by Tom Reynolds

I spent years studying what makes companies win.
What markets they played in.
How they competed.
Where they had an edge.

That was my job — to build strategy, grow businesses, and lead teams.

But over time, that lens became more than just work.
It shaped how I invested.
How I thought about opportunity.
How I made decisions in every part of life.

I wasn’t just managing businesses — I was training myself to spot value early.
And that thinking started to compound.

Your Move:
Start treating your career like an insight engine:

• Study the industries you’re in — what wins, what fades.
• Look at competition with curiosity, not fear.
• Use those insights to sharpen how you invest, how you lead, and how you live.

Quote to Reflect On

“Patterns are everywhere. But only the focused see them.”

Final Thought
The win isn’t always in the outcome.
It’s in the lens you build —
One that helps you play smarter, bet earlier, and live with more conviction.

That’s how life starts to compound.
