• I got to learn that in the absence of resources, food, money, and whatever, you become resourceful
• I will enact my will on anything so long as it’s a positive thing for humanity
• Most people go into partnership to mitigate the risks. The only time you need a partner is if they bring a unique specialized skill that you cannot get from anywhere else.
• Do not bring in a partner just because they’ve got money and they like your idea because chances are you don’t even know who that person is.
• The more trust and authority you can establish, the more like people are to read your book in completion.
• I learned very quickly that if I want a strong team, not just employees but a team, I have to be a great communicator. Lead from the front, and take care of them.
• I went there (therapy) because I was stressed and overwhelmed and I wanted him to help me cope with my stress and anxiety so I could keep growing the companies.
• If you want to turn employees into high-performing team members, develop them. If it still doesn’t work out, give them the gift of goodbye.

[46:05] Where the podcast has helped us on the road

[52:22] Where we see the podcast helping others

• I think that there’s natural talent and ability that people are born with, whether that’s in sports, business, or just in life in general. But the issue is a lot of people will never tap into their natural ability and it just goes to be useless.
• You have to love what you do. You have to have a good coach. And if you put all that together, that’s where the talent starts to develop itself.
• People do not decide their future. They decide their habits and their habits decide their future.
• If you can dream it, you can do it.
• I want to find that place where most people quit and I want to be there as much as possible.
• You are the product of the people you surround yourself with and the content that you consume.
• Anything that’s your first is going to be bad and you can’t get to 100x without starting. So many people are just refusing to start because they are scared of failing.
• People are happy and comfortable because it’s easy. I think the podcast just forces us to do more uncomfortable things and we grow.

Brad Loyet and Bobby Drummond sit down to discuss how to make better business decisions as a boss. They cover aspects such as hiring the right people, fostering the right culture, and making sure personalities are compatible. A business is a well-oiled machine, after all, and all parts must work in unison.

Scouring through resumes can be a giant pain, and for what? They’re all going to sound the same, they’re all going to frame prospective employees in the best light, and often times you get an inaccurate picture of who an individual really is. Molding people into who you need them to be is important for a workplace to thrive and the guys share the techniques they use when hiring.

Everyone knows who their rockstar employees are, but how do you keep them happy and engaged? The guys give their insights on good employees vs bad ones, how to spot the difference, and the best way to let the bad apples go.

Powerful quotes

Great things in business are never done by one person, they are done by a team of people.

Become better at firing and hiring, it’s crucial for building a business.

It’s not always about how you feel, it’s about how you show up.
