Business shouldn't be an isolated journey. We are built for community — and talent alone will never replace a true team.
The son of a preacher who chose people over personal ambition for 92 years and counting.
People often ask why Reggie is so deeply invested in how people live, grow, and overcome their challenges. The answer starts at home.
Raised in a preacher's household, Reggie watched his father — now 92 — make a lifelong choice: people over self. His father's ambition was never a personal brand. It was a simple belief: if you spend your life helping others, you naturally build a legacy that lasts.
That example deposited something deep. A drive to help people eliminate roadblocks so they can live fulfilled lives and contribute meaningfully to the people around them. A conviction that no one should have to do life — or business — alone.
Life rarely goes as planned. Each pivot forged the framework that became Propel.
Reggie played college football at Evangel University in Missouri. At the 40-year reunion, he realized something: time doesn't erase the bonds of a true team. Decades later — the connection of building something together remained.
He sees the same truth at home. 37 years of marriage. You aren't giving anything up when you collaborate — you are gaining ground. That's the definition Propel is built on.
Despite everything we know about the power of teams, Reggie sees owners suffering every day — carrying the crushing weight of their businesses entirely alone. They aren't building communities. They're building Airbnb roofing companies: highly transactional places where employees show up for a short stay, extract what they can, and leave.
We don't have a recruiting problem in business. We have a retaining problem.
Propel was built to change this — to help founders distribute the weight of leadership by building Forever Teams. To take the guesswork out of why people act the way they do by understanding their core motivations.
If you're tired of the revolving door and ready to turn talented individuals into a unified team, it starts by understanding their "Why." Let's find the hidden friction in your business today.
