How to Plant Seeds for Success w/ Drewbie Wilson

The Christmas Eve His Wife Handed Back Her Ring

On paper, Drewbie Wilson was winning. A growing company. A busy calendar. A future he was building for his family.

Then on Christmas Eve 2019, his wife handed him back her wedding ring.

He was building a life for the people he loved, and missing the life happening right in front of him.

That was the day he learned to be where his feet are.

In this episode of the Happy Healthy Hustle Podcast, Drewbie Wilson, founder of Call the Damn Leads, shares how small daily seeds compound into a real harvest, why time is the one resource you cannot buy back, and how presence changed both his business and his marriage.

Not every seed grows. The ones that do can change your life.

If you have been telling yourself you do not have the time, this conversation will show you where it actually goes.

0:00 Meet Drewbie: The Meme Lord Who Calls the Leads

[00:00:00] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: Welcome back to the Happy Healthy Hustle. We have a guest here today. Drewbie, why do not you introduce yourself? [00:00:12] Drewbie Wilson: Thank you for having me. My name is Drewbie Wilson. I am a self-proclaimed meme lord, and a small business owner and entrepreneur. I own a company named Call the Damn Leads. I love helping people dial in the systems, the processes, and the routines that let them live the life they want, personally and professionally. [00:00:39] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: One thing I adore is that you say Dr. Christiane so perfectly. It shows what a great salesperson you are. Dale Carnegie said it, people love to hear their own name. [00:01:24] Drewbie Wilson: I give you a lot of respect, because I know the time, energy, and effort you put into earning that doctor title.

1:56 The Superpower Behind Every Sale

[00:01:42] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: Now I have to ask, what is your superpower? [00:01:56] Drewbie Wilson: My superpower is a combination of empathy and confidence. I genuinely care about people, and I am confident that if I can help you, I will do everything in my power to do so. [00:02:11] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: I connect with that. I always tell my students, people do not care what you know until they know how much you care.

2:37 To Be Interesting, Be Interested

[00:02:37] Drewbie Wilson: One of the most important things I have learned is this, if you want to be interesting, you have to be interested. Asking great questions makes you memorable, even if people do not know much about you yet. [00:03:01] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: Curiosity goes a long way. Sometimes you already know the answer, but asking anyway expands your understanding. Curiosity gets your wheels spinning, and you never know what you will discover about yourself through someone else’s story. [00:04:09] Drewbie Wilson: You can learn from anyone if you are willing to admit you do not know what you do not know yet. Once you know, you get to choose what to do with that information.

5:01 The One Resource You Cannot Buy Back

[00:05:01] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: Empathy often means listening more than talking. Looking at your life today, it seems successful, but what has been your biggest challenge? [00:05:30] Drewbie Wilson: The biggest challenge I faced is understanding the value of time. Time is the one resource we cannot buy more of. The older I get, the more I realize how valuable it is. You have to make the time for what matters, and that takes boundaries. Every day it is a challenge to choose wisely, but that is the path to true freedom.

7:21 How to Make Time When You Have None

[00:07:21] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: I tell my students, if you say you do not have time, I want to know what you actually do in a day. Every morning before work I pitch myself, for podcasts, magazines, and speaking engagements. It takes fifteen minutes, but it keeps my business moving. Drip, drip, drip.

8:53 Plant Seeds Like a Farmer

[00:08:53] Drewbie Wilson: That is like farming. If you do not plant seeds regularly, you will not have a harvest. Small, consistent actions compound. Not every seed grows, but the ones that do can change your life. [00:10:27] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: I once wrote a pitch and forgot to follow up, and I lost the opportunity. But I learned from it. The next time I followed up, and out of six hundred submissions, mine was chosen. It is about persistence and learning from your mistakes.

12:18 The Christmas Eve That Changed Everything

[00:12:18] Drewbie Wilson: For me, the wake-up call came in 2019, when my wife handed me back her wedding ring on Christmas Eve. I realized I was building a future for my family, but I was not present with them. That changed everything. Now I live by a motto, be where your feet are. If you are in the room, be in the room.

16:27 Be Where Your Feet Are

[00:16:27] Dr. Christiane Schroeter: Living in the moment is everything. Full attention beats multitasking every time.
