Rob’s Story, Who We Are Looking For
I grew up in the mountains, in a house with wood heat, an hour away from the closest town. I joined the Marines at 17. At 23, I started a business with no experience, no money, and no network. Everyone thought I would fail. I’ve been the outcast and the underdog everywhere I’ve gone. What most people don’t realize is this: no matter the disadvantage, I know how to work. I’ll split wood all summer to stay warm in the winter. I’ll train every hour of the day, for years, to protect my brothers in combat. I’m relentless. I will not quit. I don’t make excuses. And no matter what I choose to do, I will win. I will out-study, out-work, and outlast anyone head-to-head.
But here’s the truth: raw drive only takes you so far. I realized that to build a great, enduring company, I needed a team—a team of people who share that same fire. People who aren’t afraid to compete, who refuse to settle for mediocrity, and who are willing to do whatever it takes to win. Launchpoint is that team. It’s not for everyone, and we don’t pretend it is. We are relentless in our pursuit of excellence. We hold ourselves and each other to the highest standards. Mediocrity doesn’t survive here, and excuses don’t belong. No one here has an ego. No one thinks they’ve arrived. Internally, we’re coachable and driven to improve every day. Externally, we’re certain—we don’t hope to win; we know we will. Launchpoint is for those who refuse to settle. For those who see challenges as fuel and victory as the only option. If that’s you, you’re one of us.
We Are a Team, Not a Family
At Launchpoint, we care so deeply about our team that we refuse to use clichés like “we’re all family here.” This is not a family, it's a business, and businesses exist to hit performance goals and generate revenue. That doesn’t mean we’re shallow; in fact, it means the opposite. Our purpose is to produce team members who are capable and love to deliver results so that they can provide for their own families. We don’t waste time on pizza parties or superficial perks to prop up “culture.” Instead, we go bigger. We create meaningful events and rewards tied directly to the metrics that move the needle for our clients and for Launchpoint. Win here, and you’ll earn real recognition: paid trips with your family, cash bonuses, and team celebrations at Michelin-starred restaurants.
The people who thrive here are coachable, adaptable, and relentless in their pursuit of excellence. Winners don’t just hold themselves accountable in their jobs—they hold themselves accountable in their personal lives, too. Part of being a winner means being a great spouse, a loving parent, a spiritual leader in their community, and someone who takes care of their personal health—especially their fitness level. Where you work is where you spend a huge percentage of your time. While you are on our team, we want to be on your team in these areas also.
To foster these things, we strive to create an uncomfortable level of accountability. We challenge each other to grow professionally, personally, and spiritually. As a team, we do fitness together, participate in challenges, and sign up for fitness competitions and events. We host Bible studies, provide resources, and offer tools to help each other become the best versions of ourselves.
When we hire someone, we’re committed to growing them into a high performer. We take care of our team, but the price for that care is effort, coachability, and a commitment to personal and professional growth. Winners don’t want to be held back by those who aren’t pulling their weight. That’s why we prioritize accountability, growth, and constant improvement in every area of life.
While the focus of Launchpoint is winning and producing results, we want it to be clear, the purpose of those results is to take care of our team. The best way we can take care of our team is by hiring, training, building, trusting, and rewarding winners. When everyone holds themselves to that standard, we all succeed.
At Launchpoint, we don’t settle for “good enough.” We care about winning, not just for our clients but for our team and for ourselves. Because we get the parade when we win the championship, not just for showing up.
Stepping Stone to Your Success—Wherever That Leads
At Launchpoint, we know that growth doesn’t stop here. In fact, we take pride in building our team members into such high performers that other companies take notice. When you’re trained so well, winning so consistently, and delivering undeniable results, it’s no surprise that you’ll be valued elsewhere too—and that’s a good thing.
We don’t see this as a loss; we see it as a reflection of how well we’re doing our job. It’s our responsibility to stay ahead of the curve, creating opportunities within Launchpoint that match your growth and capabilities. But we also recognize that timing doesn’t always align. There may be moments when we don’t have a role that meets your current skills, ambitions, or potential—and we won’t hold you back.
Here's how we see it:
- We keep the door open and the lines of communication clear. If you’re considering another opportunity, come to us. We’re not offended by higher offers—we respect it. Your value and impact will vary from business to business, and we celebrate the fact that you’ve become so valuable to the market.
- We’ll support your transition—on one condition. Your effort, focus, and foster must not dip until your very last day. Winners don’t check out early, and we expect you to maintain the same level of accountability and performance you’ve always demonstrated.
- We’ll help you succeed. Whether it’s helping you develop the skills you need, providing glowing references, or allowing you to continue contributing here while you search, we’ll ensure you’re equipped to thrive wherever you go next.
- We play the long game. If you leave Launchpoint for a better opportunity, our door remains open. When the timing is right—when we can offer an even bigger challenge, greater rewards, or a role that matches your capabilities—we hope you’ll come back. Because winners always find their way home to where they’re appreciated and challenged.
At Launchpoint, we’re not just here for short-term wins; we’re here for your long-term growth. Whether that’s within our walls or beyond them, we’re proud to be part of your success story.
