Kevin St. Clergy

Episode Highlights

In this episode of Business Unchained, Bobby Mascia sits down with Kevin St. Clergy, author and founder of Blind Blaming, to unpack why so many business owners stay stuck by fixing the wrong problem. Kevin shares the personal story that shaped his framework, from being blamed as a kid for poor performance in baseball to later discovering he simply needed glasses. That experience became the foundation for helping entrepreneurs identify hidden blind spots in leadership, mindset, health, team performance, marketing, sales, and business growth.

“The adults in my life never stopped blaming me for something that was out of my control.” – Kevin St. Clergy [04:46]

Kevin breaks down how blind blaming shows up when founders assume the issue is marketing, employees, motivation, or organization, without diagnosing the real root cause. Through his RCD Method, Reflect, Connect, and Decide, he explains how entrepreneurs can step outside their own perspective, use coaching and masterminds to see what they cannot see alone, and make stronger decisions that move the business forward. This episode is a must-listen for business owners who want to build a company that does not depend entirely on them while improving leadership, culture, decision-making, and long-term growth.

“If you want something different, you have to do something different.” – Kevin St. Clergy [27:46]
