How to Get 2x More Productivity from Your Team (Even Freelancers + Contractors!)

On this episode of The Business Growth Podcast, hosts Cory Mosley and Lon Graham unpack the mindset behind getting what you want—simply by asking.

From negotiating perks to leading teams with respect and clarity, they share personal stories and practical insights on creating a results-driven culture.

With humor and real-life examples, they explore the power of proactive communication, scheduled check-ins, creative incentives, and treating team members—employees or freelancers—as true partners.

This conversation is a masterclass in leadership, team empowerment, and driving business outcomes through trust and transparency.

Main Takeaways:

• Ask for what you want — the worst you’ll hear is “no,” and the upside can be surprising.
• Focus on outcomes, not hours — a results-driven culture respects performance over clock-watching.
• Respect and empower your team — treat employees and freelancers like partners, not subordinates.
• Scheduled check-ins over micromanagement — create space for autonomy and accountability.
• Celebrate milestones creatively — rewards don’t always have to be financial.
• Clear communication matters — from expectations to task details, clarity avoids confusion and empowers action.
