The Winning Momentum Podcast with Scott Sinclair
Winning Momentum is for business leaders, entrepreneurs, owner managers, related professionals and students of business. It is about improved business performance, leadership and crisis management. Turning negative momentum into positive momentum that, in turn, renews energy and passion, attracts resources, both human and financial, and relieves the destructive personal and family pressures that come with a struggling business. Winning Momentum content consists of three parts: 1. Leadership Skills: Because troubled businesses need leadership to change. 2. Mindset Development: Because troubled businesses are always limited by the personal habits and mental filters of its leaders. 3. Technical Skills: Because running out of money during a turnaround is not an option.

Week in Review – August 15, 2025 | Sinclair Range
This week we hosted the first-ever meeting of The Inner Circle: Deals & Capital. Close to 30 founders, executives, investors, brokers, and advisors joined us on Zoom to pitch deals, share challenges, and sharpen strategies. The next session is Tuesday, August 26 at 3 p.m. Eastern. Bring your deal and your questions.
In this episode:
• Why bad news should be delivered immediately. Delaying only burns relationships, wastes time, and creates unnecessary stress for your team.
• A real creditor interaction from this week shows how turning a problem into a clear process benefits everyone.
• Progress on a CAD $15 million bridge loan for a Canadian heavy oil producer backed by $625 million in reserves and assets.
• We also structured an equity raise for a natural health products startup that prioritizes investor returns.
• Our plastics recycling project hits more snags, from unrealistic timelines to shareholder issues. The need for the technology is massive, but so are the roadblocks.
• On “book-a-meeting” culture and why making someone click a link to get on your schedule is the wrong way to start a business relationship.
