High-Level Executive Leadership for the Next Generation of Leaders.
Leadership development without the executive price tag.
Executive Leadership
Imagine looking in the mirror a few years from now—your net worth has grown, but you haven’t. You’re busier than ever, yet stuck and unfulfilled.
We often mistake being busy with progress, but the truth is, you're probably not that much different than you were a few years ago.
I’m not offering anything complex. My approach begins with an honest look at who you are, what you believe, and what challenges are holding you back from living a life worth living.

About Me
Entrepreneur & Thought Leader
While attending Ohio State University, I founded Choice Recovery, Inc. and spent the next 25 years building two award-winning companies. After successfully exiting both businesses in 2022-2023, I’m now focused on my true passion—passing on and sharing everything I’ve learned about leadership to the next generation of L.
Chad has an infectious smile that comes from a genuine, giving heart. He is a believer in the deepest sense of the word. He will out hustle everyone around him and come up with more ideas than can possibly be implemented. Chad is a man of his word. If you engage with him, you had better lace your sneakers uptight, and get ready to get after it. You and he will never be the same.
- Chet Scott, Founder Built to Lead
A Client on a Builder's Journey
I became a client with Built to Lead in 2010, fully committing to my personal and professional development. Not only for myself, but making it available for anyone on my team interested in working on themselves. The results for me and my team can only be described as transformational.
Together We Transform
After selling my company on my 25th anniversary, I knew it was time to start giving back, so I took on a few clients and began pouring my heart into helping others become Built to Lead.
Executive Leadership Program
Most Leadership Programs Do a Great Job TEACHING Leadership.

Our framework will give you clarity, intention, and authentic connections, empowering you to align your behaviors with your beliefs —so you can become Built to Lead.
I was on day 87 using my Kindle and then joined the community and started back on day one. The difference was like going from black and white to color TV. You've done a fantastic job explaining with the melody lines!
I get a front-row seat to watch a lot of leaders as they engage with their teams. Working with Chad was great. He built a strong, engaged, and highly functional leadership team. As they implemented EOS, I watched Chad make deliberate decisions that allowed him to elevate into his role as a visionary. This transition freed him up to start new ventures. I often refer new clients to work with Chad because I know he'll provide value.
Alex Freytag, Entrepreneur and EOS Implementer
Chad is a powerhouse. He has boundless energy, extraordinary drive, and tremendous vision...but to to it off, he’s legitimately one of the most caring entrepreneurs I know. He is what innovation and vision look like when they are in the hands of a real connector. While working with Chad, I was deeply impressed by the culture he’s cultivated - an absolute business rock star.
Jon LoDuca, CEO Playbook
Chad's impact on leadership and business innovation is nothing short of inspirational. His approach to executive coaching at BUILT TO LEAD is a perfect match. His expertise in educational and organizational leadership is evident in his ability to build cohesive, high-performing teams. Chad's passion for excellence is contagious. His influence and methodologies are invaluable assets to any organization.
Kary Oberbrunner, CEO Blockchain Life
Chad is someone that I deeply admire. His commitment to making a difference in people’s lives coupled with his passion and discipline is incredibly motivating to be around. He’s someone I trust implicitly and can always turn to for guidance and support.
Brett Kaufman, CEO Gravity
If I hadn't been part of it myself, I would not have believed how Chad transformed his entire company into a rock-solid team of leaders who would run through walls for each other. I worked with Chad for 2 years and watched his team build trust and grow Anyone who was part of it will tell you, Chad is like no other coach, and Built to Lead is like no other leadership program.
