Today on the show we’re rerunning a classic episode from last year about the commonly asked question “how do I find good people?”. At the joinery coach we get this question a lot and we find it often comes from a position of looking in the wrong places, or from a “grass is always greener” perspective. 

In this episode Nigel and Tiffany go over their perspective on the issue and what they think business owners can do to try and solve this problem, as often it comes down to not taking advantage of the talents your team already has to offer.
