We all think we have great hiring practices and training programs, but do we really?

Leadership is a crucial element for any business but so few know how to actually lead and instead revert to managing.

Lower heart rate, lower blood pressure, stress relief and more. These are just a few of the advantages of massage therapy

Totally forgot to upload the show from Friday. Have you ever had a bad experience with a company? how about a moving company? Listen in to hear my tale of craziness.

On today's show I have a very special guest. My wife, Liz, is joining me to discuss the benefits of massage and some of the myths as well. Liz has worked as a massage therapist for close to a decade and has studied multiple modalities. We are discussing massage 101 such as what to expect for your first massage, the do's and don'ts, and which type of massage might work best for you.

Craig Daniels, head of the National Prayer Breakfast for Equip Expo, joins me for an in depth look at the beginnings of this truly grass roots endeavor. From a small gathering of 26 people a few short years ago to an estimated 200 this year, Craig and those who have helped with the cause have elevated this event beyond expectation. Listen in for the special keynote speaker for this year's event heard first here on Turf's Up Radio.

What do we look for during the interview? How do we assess whether a potential candidate will mesh with our company culture and values? Experience does not always equal greatness. Are we willing to train a fresh mind or struggle to "retrain" someone set in their ways?

Why do we waste time with extra verbage? World Wide Web should be a given term and yet we have to say "Double U" three times to describe the same thing.

Have you struggled to figure out the right way to hire? In this first section we will discuss the initial hiring phase. This phase includes writing an ad, phone interviews and setting up for an in-person interview.

It's no secret that crazy things happen to us all the time. Bad things impact our life on an almost daily basis whether big or small. But, what about the good things which are tied to the bad? I have a great story from a friend about some bad things happening to him recently and how he stepped over the good things to search for the next bad thing to happen.

Challenges are a part of our lives both personal and work. Have you ever wanted to make a drastic change but worried about failure? Failure is the greatest tool for learning. However, you don't need to fail as often if you dive headfirst with research.

Always a great conversation when Zach stops by. We took a deep dive into Property Intel and how it's always evolving. And of course we talk about some random things as well.

Resumes, personality tests, referrals...these are all tools to be used for hiring and teambuilding purposes. However, it is crucial to understand what your hiring goals are and the goals of those you are hiring. Take a ride with The Mayor, Lee Withers, and I as we discuss all of this and more.

Which one do you find more important, personal or collective? Morale is more than just the ability to push through tough times with a smile. As a leader, you need to decide where you land on the line between the two. Morale is one of the biggest factors in business but also one of the least talked about.

Breathing exercises are so important to your physical and your mental health. From blood pressure to better sleep, you need to give this show a listen. My special guest, Daniel Volz, is bringing his Pump Station knowledge to the Morning Show.

Have you tried meditation before? What about Mindful Meditation? Many people assume meditation means sitting in complete silence in a room with incense and chanting.
