Episode 12 – People Problems Are Profit Problems
with T2 & Tommy P
You don’t have a labor problem—you have a margin problem disguised as a people problem.
In this episode, T2 and Tommy P dig into the tough truth every business owner eventually learns: the wrong people in the wrong seats will sink your profits.
What you’ll learn:
Why warm bodies on payroll are killing your margins
The hidden cost of a bad hire (it’s more than just their paycheck)
How to hire for outcomes—not just urgency
When (and how) to have the hard conversations and let someone go
This isn’t about being cold. It’s about building a business that’s strong enough to support the team you actually want to keep.
TPM Challenge of the Week:
Audit your crew. Who’s a driver, and who’s a drag?
Have one conversation—feedback, gratitude, or tough love. Just start.
