In this episode, Jeff and Jay dive into the real ROI of employee appreciation — and it goes way beyond annual raises or nap pods. From absurd healthcare bureaucracy (yes, faxes in 2025) to the power of genuinely human-first workplaces, this episode exposes what most businesses get very wrong about culture, onboarding, and retention. 

We also talk about green card upgrades (not that kind), passing sommelier exams under Orwellian surveillance, and how truly caring for people — clients or team — always pays off. 

🧠 Topics covered: 

Why appreciation is NOT recognition 

Toxic job stories and the cost of poor leadership 

Real onboarding horror stories and how to fix them 

Turning cold client leads into lifelong friendships 

Why fax machines should be illegal 

🎯 If you're a business owner, leader, or anyone building a team — this is your playbook for doing it with care and success.
