This is an awesome follow up to Episode 1.  I've invited back two of my senior advisors, David Capozzi and Dillon Smith, to talk about their roles in our team's recruiting, onboarding,culture, training, and joint work.  We've grown a lot over the past 8 months and have expanded into 2 more states, so they've expanded their roles to help drive the team's (and their own) revenue.  This is a great example of how to create a true teaming culture.

Tom discusses his new tool to help leaders create a more compelling value prop and first interview: "I.D. Your Three".  It's completely free and guaranteed to separate you from the pack.  Tom also shares some practices from life in quarantine.

I've had some great mentors during my career and I've witnessed some stellar leadership.  In this episode I share a few stories that helped shape my career for the better.

You may have heard we're in the midst of a pandemic right now.  It's a struggle on most fronts, but it is an opportunity for leaders in our industry!  In this episode, Tom talk about what he's experiencing as a recruiter in this environment and what he is doing to win!

Sometimes the way to move the team in the direction you desire is to roll up your sleeves and go old school with your training.  In this episode, Tom talks about an issue he is going through with his team and the training steps he's taken to work through it.
