In this episode of SolFul Connections, Amanda connects with William Schutt, founder and former chairman of MATCOR, Inc., engineer, innovator, philanthropist, musician, and now author of Don’t Hire Stupid People — They’re Too Much Work.

Bill is known for his frank honesty, sharp humor, and no-nonsense approach to leadership. But beneath the directness is a thoughtful philosophy about words, culture, mentorship, and what it truly means to build something that lasts.

We talk about:

• The story behind the book (and its unforgettable title)

• The “So What?” principle and why perspective changes everything

• Why words like employee and customer matter more than we think

• Building culture intentionally

• The role of mentorship in a meaningful life

• Working internationally and navigating culture

• Why success isn’t enough. You have to build a life

This conversation brings the book to life through personal stories, hard-earned wisdom, and plenty of humor.

If you care about leadership, culture, communication, and investing in the next generation, this one is for you.
