In this episode of Inside the Box, Andrew sits down with Michael Thomas — Director of Business Development at Express Employment and a leader deeply rooted in the Springfield community.

They cover:

• What it takes to perform at a top level in a competitive national system

• How the workforce is changing (and what employers are getting wrong)

• Why culture, flexibility, and development matter more than ever

• The power of consistency in business and life

• Michael’s journey to 12 years of sobriety — and the mindset shift that made it possible

• The impact of community involvement, leadership, and giving back

This is a conversation about growth — professionally and personally.

If you’re building a business, leading a team, or working on yourself… this one’s worth your time.
