Jon Bennion shared thisSomeone recently asked me to describe my leadership style in one word. I couldn’t do it. Not because I don’t know who I am as a leader… But because leadership changes you over time. If I had to pick a word today, it would probably be “nuanced.” Maybe “adaptable.” Definitely “still learning.” My leadership looked very different early in my career. One of my first lessons came when HR offered to let someone go for me. But that didn’t sit right with me. If I’m making the decision, I’m taking responsibility for it. Good or bad. Easy or uncomfortable. It reminded me of that Ned Stark quote: “Whoever passes the sentence should swing the sword.” Not because leadership is about punishment. It’s about ownership. It’s about showing up when it’s hard. It’s about understanding the weight of your decisions and standing with the people they affect. Leadership, real leadership, isn’t one word. It’s the willingness to evolve as your team evolves. It’s balancing data with humanity. It’s caring enough to keep improving. I guess my style isn’t a word. It’s a commitment.

Jon Bennion shared thisHave you learned more about leadership from life… or from work? Being a dad taught me more about leadership than any conference or management book ever has. Kids force you to communicate clearly. They force you to repeat yourself with patience. They force you to set standards and follow through. They force you to adapt when everything goes sideways. And sometimes… they force you to admit you’re wrong. There’s one story I’ll never forget: At Disney, one of my kids got violently sick. The kind of stomach bug that hits every 45 minutes. In a hotel... with limited laundry. And then another kid got it. Then another. We spent days just surviving. Shifting roles. Taking turns resting. Doing whatever we could to keep things moving. Leadership looks a lot like that sometimes. Messy. Unpredictable. Exhausting. But also deeply meaningful. Parenthood made me a better leader. Leadership made me a better parent. Both teach you the same lessons: Be patient. Be human. Be adaptable. And don’t pretend you have it all figured out. None of us do. And that’s okay.

Jon Bennion shared thisThere’s a phrase that people overlook, but it’s quietly changed my entire approach to life: “If something in your life needs improvement, give it more time.” Time is the real resource. Time is the real investment. Time is the real signal of value. You can’t fix a marriage with better intentions. You fix it with time. You can’t fix burnout with more discipline. You fix it with time. You can’t fix a broken process with hope. You fix it by giving it time, yours or someone else’s. The older I get, the more I realize: Most problems aren’t unsolvable. They’re under-invested. Give things time. Give people time. Give yourself time. It’s the one resource that turns almost everything around.

Jon Bennion shared thisBefore I ran a company, I used to imagine the worst-case scenario in vivid detail. The fear. The anxiety. The imagined outcomes. Then I actually became a CEO and learned something surprising: “The things you fear almost never turn out as bad as you pictured.” Most of the time, the monster in your mind is bigger than the problem in front of you. And once you face it? It shrinks. Leadership isn’t about being fearless. It’s about not letting fear make your choices. If you’re overthinking something right now, here’s your reminder: Your imagination is a terrible strategist. Make the decision. Handle the consequences. Adjust as needed. You’ll be okay.

Jon Bennion shared thisEveryone talks about scaling revenue. Scaling clients. Scaling operations. Almost no one talks about scaling culture. When All In was small, culture was easy. Everyone talked daily. Everyone laughed daily. We played a lot of Halo. Probably a little too much. Then one day… not enough. Growth complicates fun. You need systems. You need process. You need structure. Fun doesn’t scale automatically. You have to protect it. The bigger we get, the more intentional we have to be about staying human, not corporate. Because here’s the truth: Culture doesn’t disappear because people stop caring. It disappears because no one realizes it’s slipping. So if your company is growing, pay attention: The greatest threat to your culture isn’t toxicity. It’s neglect. How do you impact culture in your company?

Jon Bennion shared thisHave you ever had to correct a habit? Here’s a habit I had to unlearn: Being too involved. Hovering. Over-supporting. Jumping in too quickly. It came from a good place… I wanted to help. But here’s what I discovered: When you jump in too fast, people stop jumping in themselves. When you solve problems too quickly, people stop solving theirs. When you hover, you block someone else’s growth. Worst of all? You think you’re helping… but you’re actually limiting your team’s potential. I’ve had to learn the opposite skill: Step back. Let people try things their way. Let them surprise you. Because they will. The best leadership moments happen when someone proves they can do something without you. That’s when you know you’re leading, not controlling.

Jon Bennion shared thisLately, I’ve been thinking about this a lot. If you’re building something right now, I’d love to hear what’s challenged you most. People glamorize entrepreneurship, but here’s the truth: It requires a high tolerance for stress. A high tolerance for the unknown. And a high tolerance for being uncomfortable… constantly. For years, I thought everyone should start a business. Now I understand why most people don’t. It’s not the workload. It’s not the hours. It’s not even the pressure. It’s the responsibility. Your decisions affect real people. Their families. Their stability. Their futures. That weight is heavy. Every day. But here’s the irony: I experienced more burnout when I worked for other people. Since building All In with my partners, burnout isn’t the struggle. Stress is. And I’ve learned how to live in that stress without letting it crush me. This is the most fulfilling work I’ve ever done. There’s always something new, something challenging, something exciting. Entrepreneurship isn’t easy. But for those wired for it? There’s nothing better.

Jon Bennion shared thisPeople assume that once you run a company, you’ve “figured out” work–life balance. Let me be honest: I haven’t. When someone asked me how I balance being a husband, father, and business owner, my real answer was: “TBD.” But I have learned a few things: • Be intentional with your time. • Separate work space from family space, especially in a remote world. • No phones at the dinner table. • Weekly date nights matter more than people realize. • Give time to the areas that need it. Time is your most valuable resource. I’m far from perfect at any of this. But balance isn’t a destination. It’s a constant adjustment. A constant conversation. A constant awareness of what matters. I’m still figuring it out, and I think most people are.

Jon Bennion liked thisJon Bennion liked this"Where did you find this girl?!" A client said this to us yesterday. They were floored at the level of talent out there. They're interviewing for a client facing account manager. And my answer was "Let me check -- most likely from our outbound efforts, that's where almost all of our candidates come from. But it might have been an ad, because these client facing roles are really challenging to find people with native level English. We've figured out an ad strategy that helps us get to the right candidates." Recruiting isn't rocket science, but it does go a lot smoother when you're constantly putting in the reps. Understanding the nuances of the roles you recruit for, the locales where the best candidates tend to be found, and how to get in front of them, makes a huge difference.

Jon Bennion liked thisJon Bennion liked thisHow you treat people matters. We work primarily with marketing agencies...so, two examples from that world: -We work with one agency that has more than 3x their business in the past 2 years that we've been working together. I've witnessed them take care of team members time and time again -- from an empowerment standpoint, giving them more responsiblity and stepping back to let them flourish, with bonuses & raises, with lunch reimbursements, birthday bonuses, etc. As you can imagine, their team members retain extremely well. -Another agency we work with had a team member turn in notice because they felt unsupported in the chaotic environment they were in, and the agency suggested not paying them for days they actually worked during that notice period. We didn't stand for that and got that team member paid. But that agency has shrunk substantially in the same past 2 years mentioned above. If you want to build a world class business, take care of your people and they'll take care of the rest. If you want to hate your life as an agency owner and feel like scaling an agency is haarrrddddd, do the opposite.

This is the first one where I’m representing my very own company, and seeing my name with my own company name on the badge really hit me differently. Here’s to many more conferences for Full Count Digital. And by the way I’m ObservePoint certified!

Jon Bennion liked thisJon Bennion liked thisI love being an entrepreneur. Building Sandlot has been one of the most fun and challenging things I’ve ever done. The best part has been getting to work alongside entrepreneurs who are willing to bet on an idea, take responsibility for it, and keep going when things get hard. Helping them build something bigger than they could alone never gets old. I’m grateful for the years I spent building this business with an amazing partner. Now I’m stepping into a new chapter: doubling down, betting on myself and the Sandlot team, and committing to a much longer horizon. That’s what Sandlot 2.0 means to me. We want to be a partner entrepreneurs can build with for decades. We want to own great businesses, help them grow, and keep reinvesting in the people and opportunities we believe in. I keep coming back to a simple philosophy: play long-term games with long-term people. My dream is to spend the next 40 years building our version of Berkshire Hathaway. We’re early, and there’s a lot to prove. But I can’t think of anything more exciting than building it with this team and the entrepreneurs who trust us to be part of their journey.

Jon Bennion liked thisJon Bennion liked thisI think we found the best team activity last week. We had a two day offsite for Agency Brands and ended it on Friday with a visit to the Great Big Game Show in Murray, UT. There was laughing, crying, and a good amount of trash talk. Highly recommend for your next team activity.
