For years, I’ve been paid to travel the world and help people grow — sitting with entrepreneurs, authors, and leaders as a consultant, a teacher, and a mentor. Pouring in knowledge, encouragement, and belief. It’s the work I love most in the world.
One day it hit me: I was giving that away everywhere — except in my own company.
The people who show up for Big Red Treats every day — many at their very first job — deserve exactly what I fly around the world to give everyone else. The mentoring. The real skills. The belief that they are capable of far more than they know.
The Launch Pad isn’t a clever way to squeeze more out of a shift — it’s the opposite. It’s the thing I love most, teaching and mentoring and cheering people on, aimed at the team right here at home. Nine months of real skills, taught on purpose, so that whatever you do next, you walk into it ready. And honestly? Watching a person grow over a year — the quiet one who learns to lead, the one who didn’t know how a paycheck worked now teaching a friend — that’s the whole reward.
Curated modules, each one building on the last — from your first day to the launch pad.
Real pay, real mentorship, and real experience — plus a few things almost no first job offers.
Everything here is real, and it’s yours to claim — on a résumé, a college application, or in an interview. Here’s how you might word it:
The best ideas are the ones where everybody wins. That’s the entire design of the Launch Pad. This isn’t a trade-off. It’s a win in every direction at once.
Here’s exactly how it works from here.
