In this episode of the OWNR OPS Podcast, I sit down with Patrick Murphy of Qualified Hires to talk about how land clearing, forestry mulching, and home service business owners can actually find, hire, and keep good people.

Patrick has helped me build out the hiring process at Bear Claw, and in this conversation we break down what most operators get wrong when hiring, why good people are out there, and how to build a process that attracts crew members who show up, do quality work, and take ownership.

If you’re tired of being the only reliable person in your business, this episode will help you rethink hiring and start building a team the right way.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

📌 Why “there are no good people” is usually the wrong belief📌 How to find better crew members for your business

📌 What most owner-operators get wrong in the hiring process

📌 Why good people need the right system to succeed

📌 How I improved hiring at Bear Claw

📌 How to stop doing everything yourself and start building a real team

Hiring is not just about finding people.It’s about creating a process that finds the right people.

Watch the full episode to learn how to hire better and build a team that can help your business grow.
