Start With A Win

People don’t just want a paycheck — they want purpose.
A paycheck gets compliance. But purpose? That gets commitment.
Mission-driven workers are 54% more likely to stay long-term. Loyalty like that doesn’t come from perks — it comes from meaning.
Connect the task to the impact. Show your team who benefits from their work.
How are you helping your team see the purpose behind what they do?

In this episode of Start With a Win, join Adam Contos, host, as he steps into a powerful, no-fluff conversation with Shaun Rawls - a leader who has built empires, walked away from them, and redefined what success truly means.  Shaun pulls back the curtain on the invisible forces shaping how we spend our time, energy, and attention - challenging the habits, relationships, and decisions we often accept without question. Through candid stories, sharp insights, and a few unexpected twists, this episode invites you to rethink what’s driving your life and leadership… and what might be quietly holding you back.
Shaun Rawls is the Founder and CEO of Rawls Consulting, a national speaker, and author of F-it-less: Living Without What Holds You Back. Over 25 years, he built Atlanta's #1 residential real estate firm — The Rawls Group of Keller Williams — growing it to 2,000 agents and $4 billion in annual sales, earning him a spot on Real Trends' Top 40 Brokers in America.
A Georgia Tech grad, Shaun lives in Atlanta with his wife Jeri and their five kids. When he's not building businesses, he's at the beach, on a motorcycle, or on the tennis court.

#adamcontos #startwithawin #leadershipfactory

In this powerful episode of Start With a Win, Adam Contos sits down with family healing expert Tania Khazaal for a raw and revealing conversation about where true leadership really begins. Beneath the surface of business success, executive titles, and polished social media lives a deeper truth: the health of this shapes the strength of your leadership. They explore the unseen emotional patterns, quiet resentments, and unspoken struggles that silently impact performance, connection, and fulfillment. This episode challenges listeners to confront what they may be avoiding, rethink vulnerability as strength, and rediscover the sacred power of human connection in a distracted world. If you’ve ever wondered why success can still feel empty - or why burnout follows you home - this conversation will open a door you didn’t know needed unlocking.
Tania Khazaal is a mentor, speaker, and bold advocate for families navigating the pain of estrangement. As the founder of Tania the Herbalist Inc., she helps women and parents release guilt, build grounded confidence, and become the healthiest version of themselves so they can lead their families with strength and hope.  Blending faith, emotional regulation, and practical repair strategies, Tania equips families to move out of panic, rebuild trust, and create homes rooted in safety and connection. Her mission is simple but powerful: restore what’s been lost, strengthen families from the inside out, and build legacies of love in a divided world.
