Today we’d like to introduce you to Kevin St.Clergy.
Hi Kevin, can you start by introducing yourself? We’d love to learn more about how you got to where you are today?
When I was 10 years old, I was crushing it at baseball. I mean, a .550 batting average, Babe Ruth territory. My team went from getting demolished 32-3 in our first scrimmage to winning the championship. I had dreams of playing for the Texas Longhorns, maybe even the Rangers. People were talking college ball, maybe even the pros.
Then at 11, I stepped up to the plate… and couldn’t hit a damn thing. My batting average went from .550 to zero. In one season, I went from hero to zero.
Everyone blamed everything. My dad blamed my attitude. Coaches said I needed to focus more. I blamed my dad for coaching my brother’s team instead of mine. I blamed myself. I practiced harder, tried harder, did everything “right” and it only got worse. By the minor league season, I was benched. Watching from the dugout while my dream died.
Here’s the kicker: I needed glasses. That’s it. The whole time, I literally couldn’t see the ball clearly. But because everyone was so busy blaming attitudes, effort, and mindset, nobody looked at the actual problem. I was solving the wrong problem perfectly.
That’s the story that shaped everything I do now.
Fast forward. I built, scaled, and exited a successful company with over $50 million in sales. I’ve coached consultants, coaches, practice owners, entrepreneurs and high-performers. And you know what I kept seeing? The same thing. Brilliant people solving wrong problems perfectly. Working their asses off on symptoms while the real issue sat there invisible, like my eyesight.
So I created the framework that became my book, Beyond Blind Blaming. It’s won four awards now, but more importantly, it’s helped thousands of people finally see what they’ve been missing. I developed the RCD Method (Reflect, Connect, Decide) to help people stop the blame loop and identify the real problem.
Today? I run masterminds, certification programs and provide 1:1 coaching. My podcast “Beyond Blind Blaming” has over 400,000 downloads since it’s launch in June of last year. I speak, I coach, I train other coaches in this methodology. But really, I’m doing one thing: helping people see clearly so they can finally solve the right problem.
Because here’s what I learned from that kid in the dugout: When you’re working hard and still failing, you’re not the problem. You’re just solving the wrong problem, and doing it really well. My job is to help you put on the glasses so you can finally see what’s truly going on and that changes everything. We’re going to help 100,000,000 million people get to the root cause of a problem they can’t seem to fix and when we do so, we’ll not only have a ripple effect across their lives and businesses, we’ll have a massive impact on society as a whole.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
Hell no.
I’ve been broke three different times building these businesses. Not “tight on cash” broke. I mean actually broke. Wondering how I’m going to keep the lights on, pay the team, keep the whole thing from collapsing. That kind of broke.
I’ve made bad hires that nearly sunk everything I’d built. Trusted the wrong people, brought on folks who talked a great game but couldn’t execute. Watched them drain resources, kill momentum, and create problems that took months to untangle. One wrong hire can set you back a year if you’re not careful.
And here’s the part people don’t talk about: I’ve questioned whether I was even the right person to do this. Multiple times. When you’re staring at a business on life support, when the bank account is screaming red, when everyone’s looking at you for answers you don’t have yet, you start wondering if maybe you’re just fooling yourself. Maybe you’re not cut out for this. Maybe everyone else was right and you should’ve just played it safe.
That doubt? It’s real. And it’ll eat you alive if you let it.
But here’s what I learned through all of it: Every single one of those struggles was me solving the wrong problem perfectly. I wasn’t broke because I wasn’t working hard enough. I wasn’t failing because I lacked dedication. I made bad hires because I was hiring for the wrong things. I doubted myself because I was measuring success by the wrong metrics.
Once I figured out how to identify the real problems instead of just grinding harder on the symptoms, everything shifted. That’s the difference between staying stuck in the struggle and actually breaking through.
The road wasn’t smooth. It was brutal. But that’s exactly what taught me what I needed to know to help others avoid the same traps.
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about Blind Blaming LLC?
I help people stop solving the wrong problems perfectly.
I run multiple coaching businesses built around my Beyond Blind Blaming framework. M3 Mastery group coaching for businesses under a million wanting to hit that 7 figure level, Platinum Partners masterminds for businesses that are already at a million a year wanting to get to 5 million annually, certification programs where I train other coaches in this methodology, and one-on-one coaching for entrepreneurs and business leaders who are stuck despite doing everything “right.”
Here’s what sets me apart: I don’t do surface-level advice or motivational rah-rah bullshit. Most coaches will tell you to work harder, fix your mindset, adjust your attitude. I help you see what you’ve been missing the entire time. The real problem hiding underneath all the symptoms you’ve been trying to fix.
Think about it. Jessica Rhodes in a recent testimonial… She said she’s never experienced ROI from an investment as quickly as she did working with me. That’s because we didn’t waste months dancing around symptoms. We found the actual problem, fixed it, and she saw results immediately. That’s what happens when you stop solving wrong problems perfectly.
What am I most proud of? Testimonials like Jessica’s. Not because they make me look good, but because they represent someone’s entire life changing. I’ve worked with clients who’ve tried coaching before, joined masterminds, invested in programs, hired consultants. They did all the things. And they stayed stuck.
Then they work with me, and within weeks, everything shifts. Not because I gave them some magic formula. Because I helped them see clearly for the first time. Like putting on glasses when you didn’t even know you needed them.
I’ve got a podcast, “Beyond Blind Blaming,” with over 400,000 downloads since launching in June of last year. I’m a keynote speaker. My book won four awards and is available on Amazon. But none of that matters if I can’t deliver results. And the results? They speak for themselves.
What you need to know about working with me: I’m direct. I use my “Make a F*cking Decision” (MFD) philosophy because indecision kills more businesses than bad decisions ever will. I don’t do corporate speak or dance around the truth. If you want someone to tell you what you want to hear, I’m not your guy. But if you want someone who’ll help you see what you’ve been missing so you can actually break through? That’s exactly what I do.
I’ve built this around the M3 Framework (Mindset, Margins, Momentum) and the RCD Method (Reflect, Connect, Decide). These aren’t just concepts. They’re the exact systems that helped me build and exit successfully after building an amazing business. And now I use them to help my clients do the same.
The certification program? That’s where I train other coaches to use this methodology so we can help more people break free from blind blaming. Because this problem is everywhere. Brilliant people grinding themselves into the ground solving problems that don’t actually exist.
Bottom line: If you’ve tried everything and you’re still stuck, you’re probably really good at solving the wrong problem. My job is to help you put on the glasses so you can finally see what’s really going on and fix it for good.
Risk taking is a topic that people have widely differing views on – we’d love to hear your thoughts.
Risk? People think about it wrong.
I’ve been broke three times building my businesses. Each time I had a choice: get a safe job or bet on myself again. I went all in every time. Why? Because the real risk isn’t losing money. It’s being 60 years old and realizing you never tried because you were scared. I’ve made bad hires, wrong partnerships, stupid investments. But you know what I learned? Not deciding is riskier than making the wrong decision. Make a F*cking Decision (MFD) and fix it if you’re wrong. That’s how you win.
Here’s the thing about risk: doing nothing is usually the worst choice you can make. I built and exited my company and then started writing a book, then launched a new coaching program even though no one supported me because EVERYONE is a coach, everyone is doing a podcast don’t do that, masterminds? no one will ever pay 25 50 and a 100 thousand dollars for those, BS. Whatever. Was that risky? Yeah. But working 30 years for someone else because you’re scared? That’s way riskier. I’ve failed hard. I’ve come back harder. The only time you actually lose is when you quit. So stop worrying about what you might lose and start thinking about what you’ll never get if you don’t try.
