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.

DIP financing, the turnaround rule nobody likes, and an honest update on our own stuck real estate.
Deals on the Go
• DIP financing 101 — court-approved loans that rank ahead of everyone so a stalled company has the capital to change
• Sapphire Global’s DIP on Sirona Pharma: $2.5M to stabilize, stay creditors, get relicensed — business now being sold
• New client: a stalled $100M+ real estate development where a small DIP relaunches it and creates huge value
• Lenders — the onus is on you to create these deals. Reach out
Lesson Learned: Capital Won’t Fix a Refusal to Change
• Rule #1 of every turnaround: accept the need to change — before capital
• The over-advance trap — we’ve seen a book 90% in over-advance, an equity-risk lender at debt rates
• Equity version: throwing good money after bad — a client about to write off hundreds of millions
• Don’t advance more without a price, and the price is change. Boots on the ground can’t be replaced
Struggles: Living the Problem I Solve
• Liquidity tied up in three key assets — two are environmentally-affected real estate
• Both under firm contract; both buyers failed to close — now in litigation
• The exact problem we solve for clients — just living the hard version ourselves
What I’m Thinking About: Go Where the Energy Is
• 1-minute first-principles videos — ~50k views each, ~200k in two months, big engagement
• Not partisan — my concepts in a framework. Canada needs winning momentum
• The Inner Circle is coming back — relaunch soon
