In today’s episode, I sat down with Danielle Mulvey, an incredible entrepreneur who’s built powerhouse teams and thriving businesses—all while barely breaking a sweat. We dove into Danielle’s journey from making hiring mistakes (haven’t we all?) to developing her Five Star Employee Hiring System. Danielle shared the Einstein quote that changed everything for her: “Doing the same thing over and expecting different results is the definition of insanity.” We talked about why having a repeatable, objective hiring process is a total game-changer—for your business and your sanity! Whether you’re an entrepreneur or just looking to grow in your personal life, I hope you’ll walk away inspired to stop winging it, start tracking what works, and never let fear of change keep you stuck. Let’s keep learning, growing, and going all in—together!
