At RANDOM X, our mission is to help businesses grow and create good jobs by developing competent and enthusiastic leaders and followers, capable of leading themselves and others towards reaching their fullest potential.
Why?
Because effective leadership creates better businesses, which create better jobs, which create better economies and communities.
Bad leadership ruins good companies and good people.
Why the Topic of Leadership Matters
As our nation moves forward beyond 2025 with our new president, Donald Trump, focused on creating jobs, and specifically in manufacturing sectors to meet American Consumer Demands with Made in America products, the demand for great leaders and followers capable of creating remarkable teams will be paramount. We must prepare businesses and teams by helping them create effective learning & improving environments. We must start by developing capable and competent leaders and followers in every team. They must learn to follow, before they can lead.
Every team, family, church, and government are a reflection of their leadership and the standards that those leaders uphold, follow and align to.
We can all learn to lead and influence by becoming the highest example. Become the Standard, and Set the Example.
Good luck, and Semper Gumby

Sometimes, you just need an extra head in the game helping you define and understand the goals and barriers.
Do you need someone who isn't part of your team or business to talk to about your team and business?
You may also need someone you can collaborate possible solutions with.
- Someone who will diligently confirm a mutual understanding of the situation and your goals and help you make effective plans to achieve them.
What if you had another you, that you could confidently assign some current opportunity or problems to?
What immediate problems do you need to hand off to someone who is capable?
- what if you had someone you could delegate that problem to right now?
- how much time, anxiety, and stress would that relieve from your day, week, or month?
- Imagine if that undefined problem was converted into simple, understandable, and logical choices instead of looming unknowns.
- what if those repeating problems in your business processes were resolved once and for all?
Get Relief by Delegating to an Experienced Executive Team
With that kind of support, your looming problems can become a simple matter of fact-based decision making and goal alignment. Too easy.
Invest in yourself today and stay ahead of the chaos by delegating those critically important, but non-urgent, and stressfully time-consuming research and evaluation projects to an experienced executive.
Sometimes people simply need to express their thoughts about problems out loud to someone, without hearing opinions or judgments in response.
Other times they need solutions and action.
Always confirm which type of conversation you are having before continuing the conversation.
Simply listening helps people unpack their thoughts without being interrupted by unwanted opinions, solutions, or future meddling in the matter.
If they need solutions, get them focused on the point by defining the problem, identifying desired outcomes, and understanding your role in the solution.
This works well in all relationships.
Collaboration or inquiry on topics you are seeking to understand or overcome.
- we will figure it out together.
Objectives:
+ Provide follow-up support and recommendations as agreed.
Methods:
Email: Initial contact & clarifying the problem statement.
Phone / other: Collaboration meeting on defined topic.
Spill the beans, talk shit, let it out! What's happening and who do we need to fuck up to make it stop? I'm on my way!
