  • Episode 21 - Starting Your Day Early
    Hi all!
    Episode 21 already!!
    In this quick episode you get raw feedback from me and my thoughts on waking up early to start the day and how its affected my productivity and long term memory.
    I started committing to waking up at 5 am 3 days a week. Its been eye opening to say the least. On the days i do wake up early, Im hitting the gym, listening to positive podcasts, and I find myself planning my day better than the days I wake up later.
    I hope this inspires you to wake up earlier.

  • S2E2- Soft Skills - 10 Interview Questions To Draw Out The Information You Need
    Hi! This episode is about soft skills and 10 questions you can ask to draw out the soft skill information you're looking for. Too often I see managers asking the same cliche interview questions about hard skills. How long were you a server? Did you enjoy it? The list goes on. Asking these questions will only garner the answers they know you're looking for. Don't ask yes or no questions. Turn the interview into a conversation. Find out who people are, not what they've done.
    I'm reading off of this article on indeed found here:https://www.indeed.com/career-advice/interviewing/soft-skills-interview-questions
    Please give me a follow and rating. It would mean the world to me.

    I love you all, thank you for the support and kind words I've heard. We've got some learning to do this Quarter. Are you ready to be an evolved restaurant manager?

  • EPISODE 13 - Terminating Employees - What should I do?

    HI all!


    Today's episode is a quick thought on terminating employees. What are the proper steps and what should you do to prepare? 


    Give people who are performing badly, a chance to correct their actions. People who steal, harass, and don't follow performance coaching need to be let go immediately.
