Rick Meekins didn’t come from the world of big consulting—he came to fix it.

After working with hundreds of small and mid-sized companies, Rick saw the same painful pattern over and over again: smart founders hired consultants, received logical strategies, and then watched those plans quietly fail during execution. Why? Because the team wasn’t ready. The company wasn’t structured for growth. The consultant left. And the founder was left alone, wondering why nothing stuck.

That’s where Rick stepped in—not with another plan, but with a framework.

One that made companies healthy, dynamic, and growing—by organizing around the founder’s vision, not corporate best practices.

Rick doesn’t just solve business problems—he solves the leadership gap that stunts growth before it starts. His method builds true operational stability, sustainable momentum, and real team buy-in by placing a seasoned Growth Leader at the helm—someone who can bridge the founder’s creative vision with executional precision. Someone who can mentor the team, organize priorities, and lead from within.

He built this model after years of seeing what doesn’t work—and watching it hurt the people trying to make a difference through their business. The result is a flexible, scalable solution that enables founders to stop playing defense and start shaping companies that pay everyone involved: the founder, the team, the community, and the mission.

Rick believes that business should evolve people, not the other way around. He helps founders transition from burnout to balance, from scattered to strategic, and from stuck to scaling. And he does it by integrating sales, operations, team dynamics, and systems under one simple truth: companies grow when people do.

Whether he’s acting as a fractional CGO, strategy advisor, or founder whisperer, Rick doesn’t just drive revenue—he catalyzes purpose-aligned growth. His goal? Help businesses become forces for thriving families, local prosperity, and freedom-first lifestyles—not just for the founder, but for everyone involved.

If your company is stuck, strained, or scaling in the wrong direction—

Rick Meekins is the captain you call.
