  • CSTG 240: Creating "Win for All" Solutions with Andrew Hasty
    Nov 25 2025

    Peterman Brothers' Andrew Hasty unpacks Commitment #4 from The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership: Create Win-for-All Solutions.

    Andrew draws a powerful parallel between history and leadership using the Treaty of Versailles and the aftermath of World War I to show how "win–lose" thinking always backfires. He challenges leaders in the trades to move beyond short-term victories and build systems where everyone: customer, field professional, and the company — can win together.

    Through real stories from the Peterman team, Andrew shows why loyalty to outcomes, not rigid processes, leads to better results and a stronger culture. He breaks down the four keys to "win for all" leadership: candor, abundance, allyship, and curiosity, and reminds every leader that their people's failures are theirs to own and their successes are theirs to celebrate.

    Key Takeaways:

    • Loyalty to Outcomes Over Processes: Processes matter, but leaders must be flexible enough to adapt them in pursuit of better results.
    • Candor, Abundance, Allies, and Curiosity: The four traits every conscious leader must cultivate to build trust and innovation.
    • Own the Failures, Give Away the Wins: A true leader takes responsibility when things go wrong and gives credit when they go right.
    • Empowering Field Pros: Every policy or protocol should make life easier for the people in the field—the ones driving the company forward.

  • CSTG 239: Commit to Enough with Andrew Hasty
    Nov 18 2025

    What if the secret to becoming a better leader isn't getting more, but realizing you already have enough? ⏳

    Andrew takes the mic to unravel one of the most transformative ideas from "The 15 Commitments of Conscious Leadership": the shift from a scarcity mindset to one of abundance. Blending sharp insights with personal stories, Andrew challenges the deeply ingrained belief that we need more to be successful: more time, more money, more recognition.

    He breaks down the toxic myths of scarcity that keep us trapped in fear and comparison, and instead offers a refreshing, people-first lens rooted in presence, purpose, and enough-ness.

    This episode will have you rethinking how you spend your time, how you define success, and how you show up for the people around you.
