1: Please explain more what you do.
I train teams at companies like BP, State Farm, John Deere, etc on how to improve their negotiation, sales, communication, and influence skills.

2: What is your biggest life lesson?
It's too short to be doing anything other than what you know you should be doing.

3: What is your biggest achievement?
Living where I want to, only being around people who make me happy, and doing what I love for a living. Basically, my biggest achievement is total control of my time.

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?
Maintaining systems that get me work when I get busy with work.

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?
Not growing up with any kind of model or mentor to guide me into the right paths. It's been a lot of trial and error.

Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance

Sun Tzu who wrote the Art of War.

Every time I make a choice at the expense of what I know is the right thing to do.

https://twitter.com/AJA_Cortes because he's always laying down no nonsense ways of approaching the world.


13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?
A chrome plugin for Gmail which helps me wrangle my inbox. I can set up all kinds of filters and rules, and minimize the amount of decision making I have to do on a daily basis. 

14: How would you help people with disabilities?
Listen.

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?
Rejection, and worse than rejection: silence. Day in, day out with no responses from people you know you can help.

Colin Winterton's Interview

1: Please explain more what you do.
C: In short, we provide global editing and proofreading services. Our clients want to stand out, and we help them do it. Far too often people are judged based on their command of language and not for their ideas.  We help our clients be highlight those ideas.

2: What is your biggest life lesson?
C: Always strive to be better

3: What is your biggest achievement?
C: Helping create and raise my children, Abigail and Cooper.

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?
C: The workflow.   We never know in advance how much editing needs to be done on any given day.  During a 4-hour shift, I might be editing for 4 hours or 12+.  I never know (Same answer as question 15).

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?
C: In truth, I was dealt a pretty decent hand in life.  Most of my obstacles were self-imposed. As such, I can take no credit for overcoming them. 

6: What is your favorite book?
C: Ender’s Game

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?
C: Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Augustus) 

8: What is your deepest regret?
C: Not spending more time with my family during the fledgling period of Polished Paper

9: What is your favorite podcast?
C: History of Rome, by Mike Duncan. I’ve listened to the entire series at least 5 times.

10: How people can get in contact with you?
C: Via email at cwinterton@polishedpaper.com

11: What is your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts?
C: ColinWinterton for FB and Twitter.  I do not have a YouTube or Instagram account

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?
C: Nobody.  I only use it to communicate with friends and family…and I prefer text and phone over SM. I’m a bit of an old fogey in that way.

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?
C: My 34” monitor.  Years of starring at a computer screen has weakened my eyes.  This monitor negates—at least temporarily—that issue.

14: How would you help people with disabilities?
C: Any way we can.  In truth, our business fits in well with other tools for the disabled, for example, computer modifications that allow speech to text or computer features that allow for visual or input modifications.  In almost 5 years, we’ve only had one client identify himself as disabled, and his request was simple—please capitalize “Deaf.” So we did.

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?
C: The editing.  We never know in advance how much editing needs to be done on any given day.  During a 4-hour shift, I might be editing for 4 hours or 12+.  I never know.

Steve Bredenkoetter's Interview

1: Please explain more what you do.
I am an owner/operator of Polished Paper, along with my partner Colin Winterton. Polished Paper is an online, English-language document editing company providing services to academics and businesses around the world. Colin sort of runs the day to day editing aspect of it, while I make the grandiose strategy decisions and generally try to shipwreck the whole company every 6 to 12 months.

​2: What is your biggest life lesson?
“Flammable” and “inflammable” mean the same thing.

3: What is your biggest achievement?
I don’t really know that I have anything worth bragging about. Colin has two kids. I’m, like, 50% sure that he’s proud of that. He goes on about them all the time. I was the first person to pass assessment and selection for Marine Special Operations when they stood that up in 2006, so I guess that might be something to be proud of. 

4: What is currently the most challenging part of running your business?
There isn’t a part that isn’t challenging. It’s all just one giant kick in the ass. Like, if you aren’t actively busing your ass to get ahead, you’re falling behind. So there’s that, and there is also the fact that I have no idea what I’m doing. So that presents some challenges from time to time. 😉

5: What was the biggest hurdle you had to overcome to get where you are now?
I’m not really sure. But I do know that I have serious hurdles to overcome if I want to get to where I want to be. I need to get past the idea that success can be achieved simply by being friggin’ awesome, without applying a level of work so crazy that, when you tell people about it, they think you are lying. 
And organization. My organization skills suck. 

6: What is your favorite book?
Does a collection of Calvin and Hobbes cartoon strips constitute a book? Probably Gates of Fire or Virtues of War by Stephen Pressfield. At least, those are the two that I’ve read the most. 

7: If you could have anyone educate you who would it be?
Socrates seems like he had his stuff together. Don Corleone? 

8: What is your deepest regret?
That’s going to take longer than 20 minutes…

9: What is your favorite podcast?
I don’t have one. I’m new to the whole “podcast” thing. I am a fan of Gary Vaynerchuk. 

10: How people can get in contact with you?
Email, twitter, our website. 

11: What is your YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter accounts?
Twitter: @PolishedPaper 
FB: Polished Paper

12: Who inspires you on social media and why?
Dwayne Johnson, Gary Vee, Kevin Hart. They understand the importance of having a goal to drive action.

13: What is your favorite tech tool that you use in the your business?
I don’t have one. I have been looking for the longest time, but cannot seem to find something that has really allowed me to transcend to the next level of “getting shit done.”

14: How would you help people with disabilities?
I don’t know. It seems a little pretentious to think that they need my help. 

15: What is the hardest part of your job that you have to face everyday?
The soul-crushing reality of where I could be versus where I am. A lot of mistakes have been made. Mostly by me. The knowledge of this fact cold crush me, if I let it.
