What does it really mean to win in both life and business?

In this episode of Winning Twice, Austin Cheviron sits down with business coach and leadership expert Dave McGhee for a conversation packed with hard-earned wisdom from decades of coaching entrepreneurs, team leaders, and service-based business owners.

After helping coach more than 4,500 business owners and leading a coaching organization with over 80 coaches, Dave recently stepped out on his own to build his private coaching practice.

Austin and Dave dive into:

• Why there are no unrealistic goals—only unrealistic timelines
• How to identify what you're naturally gifted at and build your business around it
• The hidden difference between marketing and genuine relationship-building
• Why most entrepreneurs struggle with sales conversations and how to reframe them
• The power of setting boundaries before your business takes over your life
• Why successful leaders focus on direction, not control
• The difference between coaching, consulting, mentoring, and training
• How to create a business that supports your life instead of consuming it

Whether you're building a team, growing a company, launching a new venture, or simply trying to find better balance, this episode offers practical insights you can apply immediately.

Because success isn't about choosing between life and business.

It's about winning twice.

S1 EP1 Nate Cheviron - No Prep. Real Talk.

Austin Cheviron — Wed, 18 Mar 2026 20:45:42 -0700

In the debut episode, Austin Cheviron sits down with his cousin and longtime partner Nate Cheviron for an unfiltered, zero-prep conversation that sets the tone for the entire show. What unfolds is a raw exploration of their shared story: growing up next door in a large Midwest family, learning consistency from a grandmother who fed 30–50 people every Saturday for decades, and carrying those values into careers that took very different paths before ultimately converging.

The conversation moves from real estate success and corporate engineering, to hard lessons around money, welfare, entrepreneurship, and lifestyle creep. Austin and Nate unpack what it really looks like to scale businesses, pivot when necessary, and build systems that allow for performance and presence—whether that’s selling 88 homes a year by referral while working 38 hours a week, or leading teams without being the one doing the transactions.

At the center of the episode is a defining experience: climbing Mount Hood together in a blizzard. That climb becomes a metaphor for entrepreneurship—fear, focus, risk, trust, and the discipline required to move forward when visibility is almost zero. It’s also the moment the two decide to formally partner, launching what would become multiple companies, coaching programs, and national real estate impact.

The episode also introduces the philosophy behind the podcast’s name: Winning Twice—a concept learned from legendary leadership psychologist Dr. Joe Currier—meaning success that shows up not just on paper, but at home, in health, relationships, time, and legacy.

Listeners will hear candid discussions around:

Authentic decision-making and real conversations
Money, time, and boundary-setting as an entrepreneur
Building businesses that serve life—not consume it
The cost of growth, pivots, and exits
Why clarity beats perfection, and action beats overthinking

This first episode is not an interview—it’s a real conversation. And it sets the standard for what Winning Twice is all about: honest dialogue, tough love, practical wisdom, and stories from people who are chasing success without sacrificing what matters most.

If you want to win in business and in life, this podcast is for you.
