Signature #5: Systems – Build to Scale, Not Burn Out

Episode 55

Tuesday, June 23, 2026 • Duration 25:52

Leadership is full of people problems — or so it seems. But what if the real issue is something hiding right underneath the surface?

In this episode of the Reaching for Remarkable Podcast, host Brooke Hodnefield is joined by Tim Foot (CEO of Slingshot Group and author of Reaching for Remarkable), Phil Bowdle, and Sarah Riebe (COO of Slingshot Group) to unpack the fifth key signature: Systems.

They share the story of Slingshot's own "Bonkers Year" — 54% growth in a single year — and what happened when the systems couldn't keep up. From the complacency trap to the hero-dependency cycle, this conversation is a wake-up call for any leader whose team is working harder and harder but somehow falling further behind.

Whether you love systems or quietly avoid them, this episode will change the way you think about what's really holding your mission back.

Signature #4: Roles – Why Your Mission Has to Be Bigger Than You

Episode 54

Tuesday, May 26, 2026 • Duration 30:29

You don't build a mission—you build people, and then people build the mission. But that only works when everyone knows their lane.

In this episode of the Reaching for Remarkable Podcast, Brian Taylor sits down with Slingshot CEO and author Tim Foot, along with Matt Wright and Toni McEwan, to explore the fourth key signature of a remarkable team: Roles.

They unpack why job descriptions aren't enough, how to give every seat a clear "win," and the three traps that quietly erode healthy teams—the echo chamber, the comfort hire, and the shiny object. You'll also hear why chasing the "purple unicorn" candidate backfires, and how a one-line job description can bring clarity to your whole staff.

Whether you lead a church or a nonprofit, this conversation will help you align your people, strengthen your culture, and keep your mission moving forward.

Signature #3: Culture – Shaping the Soul of Your Team

Episode 53

Tuesday, May 12, 2026 • Duration 27:21

Every team has a culture — whether you've shaped it on purpose or not. In this episode of the Reaching For Remarkable Podcast, host Brooke Hodnefield is joined by Slingshot CEO and author Tim Foot, alongside VP of Nonprofit Executive Search Toni McEwan, for a candid conversation on the third key signature of remarkable teams: Culture. Together they unpack what really defines culture (hint: it's not what's on the wall), the early warning signs that culture is drifting, and how relational equity quietly builds — or breaks — trust over time. Tim names the cultural traps every leader needs to spot, Toni shares what candidates can feel the moment they walk into your organization, and both offer practical wisdom for moving from self-awareness to team awareness. If you sense something is off but can't quite name it, this conversation will help you lead with greater clarity, courage, and care.

Signature #2: Message – Everything Communicates

Episode 52

Tuesday, April 21, 2026 • Duration 25:42

Your team is always communicating—whether they realize it or not. Every email, every meeting, every silence is sending a message. So what happens when those messages don’t line up? In this episode of the Reaching For Remarkable Podcast, Brian Taylor sits down with Slingshot Group CEO and author Tim Foot, alongside communications expert Phil Bowdle, to unpack the second signature of a remarkable team: Message. They explore why the best teams treat communication like musicians treat sound, how assumption traps silently erode alignment, and what it looks like to build a culture where listening drives clarity. Whether you’re leading a growing staff or navigating a season of change, this conversation will challenge you to close the gap between what you’re saying and what your team is actually hearing.

Episode 51

Tuesday, April 7, 2026 • Duration 27:42

Every organization has a mission statement. But is your team actually convicted by it? In this episode of Reaching For Remarkable, Brooke Hodnefield is joined by Tim Foot, CEO of Slingshot Group and author of Reaching for Remarkable, and Matt Wright, VP of Church Executive Search, to dig into the first key signature: Conviction.

They explore the critical difference between belief and conviction, unpack the traps that cause even well-meaning teams to lose focus, and talk about what happens when the leader's conviction doesn't make it past the corner office. If your team knows the mission but can't seem to gain real momentum, this episode will help you find out why—and what to do about it.
