This episode of The Art of Entrepreneurship is for founders who want to build great companies without putting people, culture or trust second.
My guest is Andy Gallion, Co-founder of InCheck, a background screening company built around service, relationships and a personal approach to client support.
Andy and I talk about what it really looks like to build a company around people for the long game. He shares how InCheck started with lifelong friends on a Little League field, why going into business with friends has worked for them and how they’ve stayed committed to service, trust and doing things the right way over 24 years in business.
We also get into the leadership lessons Andy has learned through both entrepreneurship and 35 years as a referee. He shares why consistency matters when not everyone agrees with your decisions, how InCheck’s people-first culture impacts the client experience and why honest feedback, servant leadership and reinvention are essential when you’re building something meant to last.
One of the biggest takeaways from this conversation: knowing who you are as a company also means knowing who you are not for. Andy talks about why InCheck is clear about being a human-first company, and how that clarity helps them attract clients who value partnership over a transaction.
Tune in if you’re building for the long game and want to lead with more trust, consistency and humanity.
