#2 - Daniel Kingston

Docondee Decoded

In this electrifying episode of the Docondee Decoded podcast episode, host Andy sits down with Daniel Kingston, a powerhouse entrepreneur and leadership coach with over 25 years in defense, law enforcement, and emergency services. Having built nine businesses and transformed companies via his Leadership Culture initiative, Daniel’s journey—from military precision to 27 years of volunteerism, including 24 as a firefighter—offers a blueprint for turning chaos into success.
Kicking off at 13 with lawn mowing lawns to becoming a business owner at a very young age. Daniel’s relentless work ethic sparked his entrepreneurial fire. He opens up about overcoming failures, harnessing ADHD as a superpower, and crafting a growth mindset to lead teams under pressure. His four-stage process—mindset, strategy, action, result—drives leaders to hit tough deadlines and secure wins, as seen in his standout success: slashing a client’s 100-hour workweeks to a profitable 2-3 hour workday.
Daniel unpacks fostering high-performing teams under tight deadlines, managing energy to prevent burnout, and breaking mindset blocks like fear and procrastination. He champions dynamic leadership—blending empathy with direction—over micromanagement, sharing tools like the “1-3-1 principle” (one problem, three solutions, one recommendation) to empower teams. For aspiring leaders, he reframes challenges as opportunities, urging a shift from “I can’t” to “How can I?”
To doubters of coaching, Daniel—who’s navigated multi-million-dollar mergers—advises seeking mentors with proven results. His call to embrace setbacks, set bold goals, and align with growth-driven peers resonates deeply.
