Drew Lints
I work with founders and CEOs of growing SMB and mid-market companies where execution isn't matching ambition. Usually the business runs through one person, and that person is the owner.
We map how work actually flows, reveal the invisible constraints, then install the workflows, automation, and AI that unlock capacity. Think of it as building an operating system for growth, implemented alongside your team, not handed off in a report.
The result: hours back, cleaner handoffs, and a business that stays human as it scales.
A coach told me I was doing it all wrong. He was right.
I was a long jumper. I won the national pentathlon title in high school and still hold the meet record. Then I got to Penn State and my coach told me everything I was doing needed to change: the start, the penultimate step, the takeoff, adding the hitch kick. Not one piece. The whole system, and how it fits together. Later I was run over by a boat, the propeller cutting across my back, arms, and legs seven times. Coming back taught me which plans you cannot build alone.
When you give up the old way, it gets clunky before it gets better. Performance drops before it climbs. That dip is the reason most companies never change how they operate, and it is the part I spend most of my time helping leaders sit inside.
Before Revflow I spent close to twenty years as a pastor to youth and families, and grew two student ministries more than tenfold. Then I led sales teams across multiple locations for JR&Co, one of the largest roofing and building envelope companies in the country, and doubled revenue at two locations, back to back, in a down market.
Storytelling and systems, in that order. Both jobs were the same job: get a room of people to see the same picture, then build something that holds when the room goes home.
The person who does the work designs the system.
When we bring it back, nobody says no. They say thank you. That is what adoption looks like, and it is why we do it this way.
Every company has someone who has been there for decades and holds the process in their head. The instinct is to work around them. We sit with them instead, for hours, and ask what their day actually looks like and what they would take off their own plate. Then we build the design they described.
We diagnose, we don't dramatize
We name hard truths, including the cost of waiting.
Built with the team, not for it
You review, you don't redo. Adoption is the deliverable, not delivery speed.
Human at scale
Put the Iron Man suit on everyone. Technology serves the people and the culture you already have.
Bring Drew to your group.
Built for CEO and owner peer groups, forums, trade associations, and professional networks. Stories, a working framework, and a breakout that sends everyone home with one thing to change.
Built Backward: Execution, AI and Automation
Your business isn't running the way you designed it when you leave the room. You have tried the right things: books, coaches, new software, and now AI. Each helped. None changed how the work moves. What was missing is a system that holds it together: how opportunities enter and close, and how work moves from intake to delivery to payment. Once it runs, AI and automation have something to work inside.
