How to Plant Seeds for Success w/ Drewbie Wilson

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:00:00]:
Welcome back to the Happy Healthy Hustle. Here we are with another amazing episode, and we have a guest here today. So without further ado, Drewbie, why don’t you introduce yourself?

Drewbie Wilson [00:00:12]:
Thank you so much for having me. My name is Drewbie Wilson. I am also a self-proclaimed meme lord — for those of you not watching the video, I’ve tattooed it across my knuckles. I am a small business owner and an entrepreneur. I own a company named Call the Damn Leads. At the end of the day, I love helping people dial in the systems, the processes, and the routines that allow them to live the life they want to live both personally and professionally.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:00:39]:
Beautiful introduction. One thing I really adore about Drewbie is he keeps calling me Dr. Christiane, and he says it so perfectly. I have to give you praise for this. It shows how amazing of a salesperson you are — Dale Carnegie said it: people love to hear their own name. You pay so much attention to how people want to be addressed, and I really admire that.

Drewbie Wilson [00:01:24]:
Hey, listen, I give you a lot of respect because I know how much time, energy, and effort you had to put into earning that doctor title. I wouldn’t take that lightly if I were you either. I’m no doctor, but I understand what effort you had to put in, and I want to give it due respect.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:01:42]:
So I really appreciate that. And of course, now I have to ask: what is your superpower?

Drewbie Wilson [00:01:56]:
I would say my superpower is a combination of empathy and confidence. I genuinely care about people, and I’m confident that if I have the ability to help you, I will do everything in my power to do so.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:02:11]:
I really connect with that. I always tell my students: people don’t care what you know until they know how much you care.

Drewbie Wilson [00:02:37]:
Exactly. And one of the most important things I’ve learned is this: if you want to be interesting, you have to be interested. Asking great questions makes you memorable, even if people don’t know much about you yet.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:03:01]:
Curiosity goes such a long way. Sometimes you already know the answer, but asking anyway can expand your understanding. Other times, you may have no clue at all. Those are the best questions. Just get it out there — curiosity gets your wheels spinning, and you never know what you’ll discover about yourself through someone else’s story.

Drewbie Wilson [00:04:09]:
Yes. You can learn from anyone if you’re willing to admit you don’t know what you don’t know yet. Once you know, then you get to choose what to do with that information.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:05:01]:
Exactly. And listening deeply matters. Empathy often means listening more than talking. Now Drewbie, looking at your life today, it seems successful. But I want to dial it back — what has been your biggest challenge?

Drewbie Wilson [00:05:30]:
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 truly is. It’s not about “finding” the time — it’s about making the time for what matters. That requires boundaries. Every day, it’s a challenge to choose wisely, but that’s the path to true freedom.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:07:21]:
Absolutely. I tell my students: if you say you don’t have time, I want to know what you actually do in the day. For me, I pitch myself every morning before work — podcasts, magazines, speaking engagements. It takes 15 minutes, but it keeps my business moving. Drip, drip, drip.

Drewbie Wilson [00:08:53]:
That’s like farming. If you don’t plant seeds regularly, you won’t have a harvest. Small, consistent actions compound. Not every seed grows, but the ones that do can change your life.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:10:27]:
Exactly. I once wrote a pitch and forgot to follow up — and lost the opportunity. But I learned from it. The next time, I followed up, and out of 600 submissions, mine was chosen. It’s about persistence and learning from mistakes.

Drewbie Wilson [00:12:18]:
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 wasn’t present with them. That changed everything. Now I live by the motto: be where your feet are. If you’re in the room, be in the room.

Dr. Christiane Schroeter [00:16:27]:
So true. Living in the moment is everything. And it’s not about multitasking. It’s about full attention, full presence.

Drewbie Wilson [00:17:44]:
Exactly. And if you got value from this conversation, share this episode on social media and tag @callthedamnleads. That’s the best way to connect with me. From there, check out callthedamnleads.com or find me on any platform.

Key Takeaway

Small seeds — daily actions, conversations, pitches — compound into extraordinary results. Time is finite, and presence is priceless. The real hustle is being intentional with both.
