    Joshua B Lee Bio:

    They call me “The Dopamine Dealer of LinkedIn” and I’m proud of that nickname.

    I’m an entrepreneur, business owner, author, coach, marketer, and a very blessed husband and father.

    Way back in 2003 I built my career in online marketing with clients like MySpace and Google with advertising spends of over half a billion dollars, which generated over 35 trillion online impressions for these companies.

    I’ve been lucky enough to build 16 companies in my career from online marketing to coaching to web design and more.

    But that’s not my real passion. My real passion is creating lasting, meaningful, and most importantly HUMAN connections. I’ve created StandOut Authority so I can work with entrepreneurs like you to help you humanize your professional or company brand on LinkedIn using authentic, inspirational engagement with your clients or audience.

    I think it’s one of the most important things anyone can do in their business to truly build long-term and lasting relationships that flourish.

    I genuinely believe there is NO B2B or B2C just Human to human connections, and I want to show you how to do exactly that!

    I also believe there’s no such thing as work-life “balance” only an integrated life built on a foundation of vision, relationships, passion, and business.

    Otis McGregor bio:

    Leadership Expert, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Project Management Trainer, Rugby Coach, LTC, Special Forces, US Army, Retired

    My passion lies in helping people succeed. I've used this passion through years in the Army Special Operations, coaching rugby and Business. It now drives me to create better leaders. I believe that better leaders create better organizations, better organizations create better communities, and better communities will create a better world.

    I worked as a Business Development Manager, Director, and Chief Strategy Officer for several companies. In 2009, I founded LTO Enterprises, LLC to help businesses win government contracts. In 2021, I rebranded LTO to become Tribe + Purpose, aligning with how we operate and our business purpose. We focus on creating better leaders to lead high-performing teams. I am a certified business performance coach and certified project director and trainer through The Institute of Project Management.

    I retired from the US Army in 2009 as a Green Beret Lieutenant Colonel following 25 years of service. While in the Army, I had a broad range of experience from being a private driving tank five years older than me; to an engineer in the Arctic, running heavy equipment in the most extreme arctic conditions, to leading Green Berets on complex and dangerous missions around the world. I also had the unique experience of being part of new organizations and creating these new units into cohesive, effective organizations. This experience ranged from Arctic conditions in Alaska to counter-terrorism units in Iraq and Afghanistan to NATO Special Operations Headquarters. Being part of these organizations from the ground up has given me immense experience in creating successful organizations

    I've used those skills and experiences to build successful teams, business units, and companies in the business world. I've led capture efforts and proposal development for large and small firms. These efforts have ranged from small task orders to multiple large entity Joint Ventures. In addition to my business development efforts, I ran multi-million-dollar programs for the government spread across the US and overseas.

    I possess a BS-Engineering Technology, from Texas A&M University; MA-International Affairs, Naval Postgraduate School; Certified Professional Coach, Institute for Professional Excellence in Coaching (IPEC); COR.E Leadership & Performance Dynamics Specialist, IPEC; Certified Project Director and Certified Project Trainer, Institute of Project Management (IPM); USA Rugby Level 300 Coach. I create better leaders, host a podcast, build high-performance teams and wrote the book Enable Your Teams Success.
