Mike Barefoot served 27+ years in staffing and recruiting, placed 1,000+ professionals (primarily in IT), generated $50M+ in revenue, and built a profitable boutique firm. In this conversation, we trace how his early life changes, competitive drive, and decades of martial arts discipline shaped the way he evaluates people, protects reputation, and plays the long game in hiring and leadership.

What We Cover:

  • The moment he chose reality over prestige 
  • Why “placeable” is more than skills
  • Turning down money to protect outcomes and relationships
