We recently connected with Julee Ware and Cindi Taylor and have shared our conversation below.
Julee and Cindi, looking forward to hearing all of your stories today. Let’s talk legacy – what sort of legacy do you hope to build?
I hope my legacy will be that I was someone who really cared. Cared about each client, whether they called us for a simple background check, or whether they were a huge corporate client who booked us for 100 hours, everyone gets treated as if they matter. Because they DO.
Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers
I got into this business when I hired a private investigator to do some work for me. I ended up helping him and realized shortly after it was my true calling! I’ve owned lots of businesses, and had several careers in different areas. None as exciting as this! When I met my future business partner Cindi Taylor, things really took off. She had the same work ethic I had, plus a background in business and tech that made things really exciting. She could do everything from build cameras to develop winning courtroom strategies, and everything in between. Together, we’re building Lighthouse Investigations into a company with a great reputation and a solid foundation for the future. After more than a decade and hundreds of cases, we’re still having fun!
Can you share a story from your journey that illustrates your resilience?
In the early days, we (obviously) didn’t know what we know now. We took on quite a few cases with really dangerous subjects. Once Cindi got walked up on by a guy about 6 ft 8 inches tall. With a crowbar! We are much more selective these days, and we don’t take every case.
We’d love to hear about you met your business partner.
Cindi and I met while I was managing another investigations firm way back in 2011. We were bringing on new investigators and Cindi was one of the applicants. I could quickly see she would be an exceptional investigator and strategist, and that has proven to be true, time and time again. In 2014 we started our own company, and have been at it ever since.
