WHO YOU WORK WITH MATTERS.

Our Story.

Ken, growing up with a Midwest work ethic, started working in the corn fields of Indiana at 8 years old.

He grew up with 2 generations of “want-to-be entrepreneurs” and saw a lot of boom or bust and a LOT of burnout from not understanding what makes a business work. Ken did the opposite.

After several decades of running teams of 400+ people, companies with a PNL of a half billion dollars, closing a $40M software deal just days after 9/11, and working as a consultant for business owners, he saw trends in what prevented their ability to scale. His purpose is to help owners finally solve the core problems they are shackled with, so they can get the freedom and balance they deserve.

And, for Winter, she was taught her single Mom that if you “go to college and get a good job with health insurance, you would be successful.”

Watching her Mom constantly struggle, she went to college so she could be "successful." She then spent years climbing the corporate ladder only to be unfulfilled. Her "success" came when she started her own real estate company during the worst time in American History since the Great Depression….and despite everyone telling her, "she would fail", became incredibly successful and internationally recognized on CNN, HGTV’s House Hunters, Interior Design & others.

After 23 years in sales & marketing and dealing with high-net-worth individuals and executives selling nearly a quarter billion in products to them, along with studying psychology of how this type of individual makes decisions, she discovered a better way for them to achieve their goals in less time.

Ken & Winter’s combined experience created The Shift Spot™, a place where business owners make radical shifts in business and in life.
