Profile picture for Tim Winders

Tim Winders

Tim Winders knows what it looks like when everything falls apart—and what it takes to rebuild.

After losing two businesses, his home, and starting over in a Honda van in 2013, Tim rebuilt his life from the ground up. That season reshaped how he thinks about success, leadership, and what actually matters.

Today, he serves as Chief Operating Officer at Earth Retention, leading operations and team development with an engineer's discipline and a builder's instinct. He's also the host of Seek Go Create – The Leadership Journey, a podcast with 300+ episodes exploring intentional leadership and purpose-driven success since 2019.

His latest project, NT90, invites listeners into a 90-day journey through the New Testament—reading the books in the order they were written and understanding them the way the original audience did.

Tim is the author of Coach: A Story of Success Redefined, a novel that mirrors his own journey from striving to stillness. He and his wife Glori live, travel, and work as "essential nomads" from their motorhome—proof that home isn't always a place.
