“Tim Croll has an extremely unique skill set that allows him to see exactly how to grow a small business. When we did our first white-board session together I was blown away at his ability to take complex tasks and make them simple and clear.”
~ Joshua Latimer, Quick Talk Podcast
“Tim Croll is the man. And I don’t throw that term around loosely. Tim very quickly helped me gain Clarity in my business goals, as well as some personal goals. When I decided I wanted to start my own business, I was lost in a google-fueled sea of marketing strategies & business ideas. Tim helped me focus on what I wanted to do and how I wanted to do it. With a perfect mix of encouragement, wisdom and honesty, he helped me work through some big personal and business challenges over a relatively short amount of time. I now have an amazing business that I am building and I owe a lot of that to Tim.”

About your host: I’m Drew Deraney, the proud father of three children. For most of my life I’ve been concerned with what people thought of me and how I was supposed to act. I learned not to be my authentic self and instead became a people pleaser, a man wearing a mask.
In a 9-month span a few years ago, I endured four faith-shaking life events that caused me to question my existence.
I became determined to find a better way to live. Through intense self-reflection and awareness, I realized that in order to be happy, I must adhere to my standards of honesty, integrity and truth and needed to break free from the belief system that was anchored in me for close to 50 years.
I found my purpose and my mission in life. I’ve now become the man I know I am meant to be. My mission is empowering men ready to make a change to do the same.
My men’s group and one-on-one coaching provide a safe space for men to share, without judgement, and transform. My male clients learn to release their inner greatness and stop self-sabotage, the #1 roadblock keeping them from reaching their goals.
