In this episode of Lennox ON AIR, Doug and Dave are joined by talent acquisition expert Jed Gifford to break down what it really means to treat your career like a business—not just in theory, but in daily habits, communication, and attitude. From navigating tough conversations with leadership to understanding your value long before you apply for a new role, Jed lays out clear, practical guidance that applies whether you’re an installer in a basement, a service tech on the road, or a leader preparing the next generation.

We also explore common fears and misconceptions that hold people back, like networking anxiety, worrying about being “too honest” in interviews, or feeling stuck in a role you’ve outgrown. Jed makes it simple: build your brand, practice your craft, strengthen your digital footprint, and show up every day with enthusiasm and intention. Whether you’re looking to advance, pivot, or simply gain clarity on where you’re headed, this conversation delivers the roadmap—and the motivation—to take your next step with confidence.
