Most contractors think their biggest problem is labor.

Employees versus subcontractors. Payroll versus flexibility. Control versus speed.

But changing your crew rarely fixes what's actually broken.

In this episode, we dig into the real reason the same problems keep showing up no matter how you staff jobs. We talk about leadership, systems, stress, responsibility, and why labor models don't solve problems — they expose them.

This isn't a W-2 vs 1099 argument. It's a hard look at why effort, hiring, and switching models don't create clarity unless leadership does.

If you've ever felt like you tried everything and still ended up in the same spot, this one will hit close to home.
