The Leadership “Quote-ient”

“I had the pleasure of meeting Dusty several years ago, when he was the CEO of  a large 3PL and came highly recommended as a person to “bounce things off of.”  This was an understatement of the century. Dusty is equal parts executive mentor, strategic advisor, and spiritual guide. Every conversation with him is thorough and multi-faceted – touching on both business and personal endeavors and recognizing that they often work in tandem. Most importantly, you walk away with ideas that are novel, salient, and actionable.  I can’t recommend Dusty highly enough, and hope everyone has the opportunity to cross paths with him some day. It will change the way you look at the world.” 

"Dusty doesn't just talk about leadership—he lives it. His down-to-earth approach and commitment to serving others have reinforced a powerful truth: real leadership isn't about authority it's about impact. A key takeaway from our conversations is that genuinely investing in others creates stronger teams, better outcomes, and long-term success. He's the real deal—someone who leads with authenticity, purpose, and action."

"Dusty has been one of the most consistent, intentional, and generous leaders I've ever met. I've been blown away by the value he's provided in even the most simple interactions, let alone the deeper conversations. There's a saying (with a twist) - if you want to go fast, go alone, but if you want to go far, go with Dusty! :)...But honestly he can go fast too!"

"Everyone has a different way of defining success. But everyone needs encouragement and a sherpa, who has been through the hard times to help guide you through yours. However you define success, Dusty is that leader!

He provides everything from daily encouragement to deeper insights. Dusty is a voice I look forward to hearing from to gather his perspective."

"Dusty is a rare mix - part larger than life adventurer, and part caring human. He understands that everything starts with people, but requires leadership to get results. I’ve appreciated his direct style, straight talk and insights for decades, glad to have him as a friend and mentor."

"Dusty and I was introduced through a mutual friend he took time from his day and made me feel so welcoming. He provided incredible insight on how to lead people. He was a open book answer all my questions and listened with intent. True Leader!"

"Early in my career, Dusty played a pivotal role in shaping my professional development. His leadership gave me the skills and confidence to excel in my role at the time and instilled a deep appreciation for the principles of effective leadership. His unwavering commitment to fostering growth and excellence continues to inspire me today. Through his daily leadership quotes, he consistently delivers valuable insights that challenge perspectives, encourage reflection, and drive continuous improvement. I have applied his wisdom throughout my career, leading my businesses and serving on numerous non-profit boards. His teachings have helped me navigate complex challenges and stay focused on servant leadership. I am grateful for his lasting influence and the ongoing value he provides to leaders at all levels."
