Why do some recruiters command premium fees while others compete on speed and price? It's not talent or experience. It's whether they've packaged their service as a product. Andrea Hoffer learned this lesson the hard way. Before launching her consulting business, Andrea spent 10 years running a Massage Envy Spa franchise. She led a team of more than 30 employees. Her therapeutic staff stayed. Her front-desk hires didn't. Turnover was constant. She hired fast, hoped for the best, watched people struggle in a sales-driven role, then repeated the cycle. Eventually, she stopped and asked herself a simple question: “I've been trained better than this.” That question changed everything. Andrea rebuilt her hiring approach from scratch and turned it into a branded, repeatable system she now calls the Dream Hire framework. It worked so well that other franchise owners began asking for help. Today, Andrea runs AHA Talent Consulting, where she helps business owners build “hiring machines” that consistently attract the right people. She charges $10,000+ for setup and $3,000+ monthly subscriptions. No placement fees. She's not selling placements. She's selling a system. In this episode of The Resilient Recruiter, we break down how to package your recruitment process as a signature solution, why story-based discovery beats traditional intake calls, and where AI genuinely adds leverage without replacing human judgment. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why packaging your process matters more than speed or experience How the Dream Hire framework works and why Define is the most skipped (and costly) stage Why asking for stories reveals more than job descriptions ever will How to assess culture fit without relying on gut feel Where AI creates real value in hiring and where it doesn't How to use technology to scale insight without losing trust Episode Highlights [4:10] The hiring nightmare that forced Andrea to rebuild her entire process [7:38] Why changing the job posting language repelled the wrong candidates [9:31] The 90-minute group interview where candidates self-select out [12:24] Breaking down the Dream Hire framework: Define, Reach, Engage, Assess, Motivate [13:23] Why most recruiters skip defining and pay for it later [30:20] Assessing culture fit by asking for stories, not descriptions [36:08] The CAR technique for behavioral interviewing [39:58] Where AI creates the most value in hiring [41:02] Using AI chatbots to screen minimum qualifications [52:20] How Andrea uses AI to extend reach without extending hours Guest Bio Andrea Hoffer is the founder of AHA Talent Consulting and creator of the Dream Hire framework. She helps business owners attract, hire, and retain the right people through structured hiring systems and disciplined use of AI. Before consulting, Andrea spent 10 years as the owner and operator of a Massage Envy Spa franchise, where she led a 30+ person team and experienced firsthand the cost of hiring without structure. Today, she works primarily with multi-unit franchisees and small business owners who want predictable hiring outcomes without constant churn. If you're ready to stop competing on speed and price and start owning your process, your positioning, and your outcomes, this episode is a must-listen.

Most Podcasters Are Lazy About Marketing After five years in the podcasting industry, I've realized that many podcasters lack real marketing skills for promoting a business or service. My podcast marketing style evolved from: Sixteen years of owning a French-themed inn Experience as a French wine specialist A deep understanding of how to create fun, excitement, and emotional connection around a business After observing what the vast majority of my colleagues are doing, I believe it's time to call this out. Here's Why When you are interviewed on a podcast, there is usually a paid sponsor. That sponsor receives: A pre-roll ad A mid-roll ad An end-roll ad These ads are promoted and marketed during your interview. After the interview: You are sent a recording You are expected to upload it to an app You must then market it across multiple social media platforms This process can take hours—sometimes days—of frustration on your part The Reality of Podcast Advertising Audiences dislike advertising, regardless of the sponsor. Listeners often switch to another podcast that has no ads. In reality, you are not the one being featured. The sponsor who paid for the advertising is the true focus. Millions of podcasters follow this same model. My Approach Is Different I transferred my marketing skills from: Owning Le Petit Chateau Inn Working as a French wine sales specialist Into a specialized approach: Podcast Marketing Services. I represent clients who offer products or services that improve their communities. I interview my clients and tell their story. I have a gift for embellishing my clients in a way that: Creates emotional connection Attracts qualified leads Makes sales easier and more natural Learn More What I do for each client is outlined on my Opportunity Card.

Everything you put into the world is doing something. Your website. Your social posts. Your emails. Your videos. Your interviews. In this episode, Shannon Jamail breaks down a truth most retreat leaders avoid: if you're not repelling anyone, you're probably being too generic. Attraction is only half the conversation. Sustainable retreat businesses are built on clarity - and clarity naturally attracts the right people while filtering out the wrong ones. Shannon explains why repelling misaligned guests isn't a flaw, it's a leadership skill, and how trying to please everyone leads to burnout, boundary issues, and low-quality experiences. She also addresses a critical nuance retreat leaders need to understand: the difference between being purposeful and being polarizing - and why "anti" messaging often does more harm than good in a business rooted in trust, safety, and connection. This episode is a must-listen for retreat leaders who want aligned guests, healthier group dynamics, and a business that actually feels good to run. Key Takeaways Everything you create either attracts or repels - and both are necessary. If you're trying to be liked by everyone, your message is likely watered down. Repelling misaligned people protects your energy, your team, and your guests. Clear messaging prevents boundary issues, complaints, and emotional drain. Strong leadership is about standing firmly in who you are - not pleasing everyone. There's a difference between purposeful messaging and polarizing, anti-focused content. Being pro what you stand for builds trust far more effectively than being anti anything. Clarity in your brand leads to alignment, ease, and long-term sustainability.

Marketing should operate like a well-oiled machine. One offer leading into the next. But — that is FAR from what business owners actually do. Marketing instead feels ad hoc, based on seasons of busyness or launches. So, in this episode of the HerBusiness Podcast, I'm talking to Amanda Farmer of Your Strata Property about building a marketing system that attracts, converts, and keeps your ideal clients. Amanda has built a leveraged marketing system that brings clients from one offer to the next — and she's giving us a peek behind the curtain. Here's What You'll Discover in this Episode: The basics of the Marketing Mountains system, coined by Michelle Falzon, and what looking at your entire product/service suite in its entirety will reveal. The methods Amanda uses to ATTRACT her ideal clients into her world — and which strategies work best. The one, repeated event that consistently CONVERTS Amanda's clients (she's been using this for years… and it still works!) What goes into KEEPING the clients she acquires, and how she intertwines her offers — so she always has a "next step" to take. How Amanda decides which marketing activities to double-down on (and which to throw out!) Why planning your marketing with a birds-eye view of your year prevents adhoc strategies or disjointed offers from popping up. How to create offers that work together so that you can leverage your time, pitch to your pre-existing clients (so you're not constantly chasing new leads), and… make more money!

Black Dragon Biker TV Podcast Episode: Prospects, Bylaws, & Social Media RecruitingWelcome back to Black Dragon Biker TV! Today we're diving into three hot-button questions that stir up strong opinions in the MC world. No fluff—just real talk from 38+ years on the set.1. Are Prospects Members or Not?Short answer: Prospects are members—of a kind. They're not full patches with voting rights or equal say—that's earned. But calling them "not members at all" is wrong and dangerous.Prospects wear the club's colors (bottom rocker, prospect patch).They represent the club 24/7—on rides, at events, in public.They take risks for the club (backing brothers, handling tasks).If something goes down, they're expected to stand tall like any patch.Treating prospects like outsiders ("you're nothing") breeds resentment and turnover. Good prospects are investments—treat them as probationary members with limited privileges but real belonging. They earn the full patch by proving loyalty, not by being treated like dirt.Bottom line: Prospects are part of the club family, just not the inner circle yet. Respect that, and you'll patch better brothers.2. Should Prospects Be Allowed to See the Bylaws?Hell yes—they absolutely should.Hiding bylaws from prospects is crazy. How can someone commit to a club without knowing the rules they're signing up to live (or die) by?Common arguments against:"Bylaws are sacred—only for full patches.""Prospects might leak them.""They haven't earned it."All weak.Trust is built early—if you can't trust a prospect with bylaws, why trust him with your back on a run?Informed prospects make better decisions—if bylaws are too harsh, they'll self-select out early (saves drama).Transparency shows confidence in your club's structure.My take: Give prospects the bylaws day one. Let them read, ask questions, understand quorum, discipline, patching requirements. It weeds out the wrong fits and builds buy-in from the start.Clubs hiding bylaws often have something to hide—or fear scrutiny. Strong clubs stand by their rules.3. Should MCs Advertise on Social Media to Gain New Members? Is It Against Protocol—and Should Protocol Change?Traditional protocol says no advertising—clubs grow organically: word of mouth, hangarounds proving themselves, reputation drawing the right men.Social media recruiting (posts like "Join our brotherhood—DM us") breaks that. Reasons:Looks desperate—strong clubs don't beg.Attracts wrong types: wannabes, cops, drama queens.Exposes club to scrutiny (LE monitoring pages).Dilutes vetting—hard to screen online strangers.But times change. Younger riders find clubs online. Some new/support clubs openly recruit on Instagram/Facebook with success.Is it against protocol? In traditional/1%er circles—yes, big time. In riding/support clubs—more accepted.Should protocol change? For outlaw/traditional clubs—no. Organic growth preserves quality and security.For newer/riding clubs—maybe. But even then, never direct "join us" posts. Better: Show club life (rides, charity, brotherhood) and let interested men approach privately.Smart compromise: Maintain public pages for events/pride, but recruiting stays old-school—face-to-face, proven worth.Final word: Protocol evolves, but core values (loyalty, respect, organic brotherhood) shouldn't. Advertise rides and charity—never membership.That's today's discussion—prospects as probationary members, show them the bylaws early, and keep recruiting personal, not public.What do you think? Prospects members? Bylaws for prospects? Social media recruiting—yes or no?Drop comments, call in next show. This is Black Dragon Biker TV—ride safe, stay loyal.

He was dating a woman for about 2 months who also is a single parent.

Starting your own medical practice can feel like stepping into an entirely different profession—and that's because in many ways, it is. Dr. Gina Maccarone, cosmetic surgeon and owner of The Surgeonista in Cincinnati, knows this tension well. After years in general surgery and trauma care, she made the leap to cosmetic surgery and private practice ownership. Read the full show notes, memorable quotes, and key takeaways. In this episode, Dr. Gina shares how authentic branding became her competitive advantage. From her signature pink color palette to her clear boundaries around patient selection, she's built a practice that attracts the right patients by simply being herself. We discuss why saying "no" to patients is actually a green flag, how AI and contractors can keep overhead manageable, and why clinical confidence doesn't automatically translate to business confidence. Key topics covered: Building authentic brand identity in healthcare Managing patient expectations in cosmetic surgery Using technology strategically to reduce costs The challenge of delegating as a physician-owner Learning from what you don't want to replicate Find Dr. Maccarone: Website Instagram Facebook See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment Connect With Us: Be a Guest on the Show Thriving Practice Community Schedule Strategy Session with Tracy Tracy's LinkedIn Business LinkedIn Page
When you start leveling up — financially, mentally, spiritually — you automatically become a mirror. Your discipline exposes their laziness. Your growth exposes their stagnation. Your courage exposes their fear.And instead of rising with you, some people choose to resent you. Because envy is easier than accountability.
This episode is a switch-up: Samantha is the one in the hot seat, interviewed by her dear friend Dr. Onalee Makam, for a grounded, honest conversation about relationships—and what it actually takes to call in a true life partner.If you've ever said, “Love has been hard,” or “There aren't any good men,” or “No one can handle me,” this is your gentle (but firm) reality check. Samantha pulls back the curtain on the real process behind meeting her husband, Kurt: the mindset rewiring, the nervous system work, the identity shift, and the practical action that gets skipped when people reduce love to “just make a list.”You'll hear why healthy relationship examples matter, how Samantha's “ask hot guys out” era helped her expose anxious attachment patterns, and why your relationship won't thrive if your partner is your only source of emotional oxygen. This is a conversation about safety, self-respect, magnetism, and building a life so full you're not begging love to complete it.If you want a relationship that feels like two best friends on the same team—this one will expand what you believe is possible.RESOURCES + LINKSWork with Sam @ Voice and Visibility: www.voiceandvisibility.comJoin My Newsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilitySubscribe on Youtube healthy relationship dynamics, how to find a life partner, calling in your soulmate, manifestation and relationships, anxious attachment healing, codependency in relationships, feminine energy and magnetism, how to be more feminine in relationship, dating to marry, how to know you're in the right relationship, relationship green flags, hyper independence healing, healing relationship with the masculine, self worth and love, relationship advice for high achieving women, surrender and trust in relationships, building a secure relationship, how to keep spark alive in marriage
Your personal brand is already speaking. The question is, does it say the right thing? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I talk about the one brand shift every leader needs to make in 2026: letting your vision do the talking. Because today's recruits don't just want a better comp plan or a bigger opportunity. They want to follow someone with clarity, belief, and a future they can see themselves in. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Your brand is already talking. The question is: what story is it telling? [01:00] Why Vision Is Your Brand's Most Valuable Asset – It's not about numbers or rankings. It's about where you're going and who you're inviting to help build it [01:40] Vision Is Not a Mission Statement – It's not corporate jargon. It's a real, human story that paints a future others want to be part of [02:30] What Your Brand Should Do – Your content should make people say, "I see it. I feel it. I believe in it." [03:00] Production Doesn't Inspire Loyalty – Vision does. Recruits don't follow W-2s. They follow clarity, direction, and purpose. [03:30] How to Shift Your Content Strategy From "Here's what I did" to "Here's where we're going" From celebrating production to celebrating progress From stats to stories [04:00] Clarity Compounds – Saying your vision once inspires. Saying it often builds belief [04:30] The Three Layers of a Magnetic Brand Leadership – What you consistently do Belief – What you carry and communicate Vision – What you cast and invite people into [05:00] 5 Reflective Questions to Audit Your Brand Does my content reflect where I'm going or just where I've been? Am I sharing stories that reveal our values and culture? Would a stranger know what I stand for just by following me for a week? Have I shown people why our team exists, not just what we do? Do people feel invited into a future that matters? [06:00] Final Challenge – Don't keep your vision locked in your head. Make it public, consistent, and magnetic Key Takeaways Your Brand Is Already Talking. Make Sure It's Saying the Right Thing – Silence is still a message. Make yours intentional. Recruits Don't Follow Production. They Follow Vision – Show them what you're building and why it matters. Clarity Wins Attention. Consistency Builds Belief – Let your audience see your vision often enough that it becomes part of their story. Your Brand Should Reflect Leadership, Belief, and Vision – When those three align, recruiting gets easier. The Future You Share Will Decide Who Joins You – Don't sell a job. Share a direction people want to be part of. Your vision is the most underused recruiting tool you have. Let it speak. Let it lead. Let it magnetize the right people to your team.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Michael Denehey interviews Andrew Griffiths on the Grow A Small Business Podcast to dive into Andrew's book Someone Has to Be the Most Expensive. In this episode, they explore why embracing premium pricing can transform a business from the ground up, strengthen financial resilience, and attract higher-quality clients. Andrew shares insights on shifting from a poverty mindset, building real value beyond price, and developing the courage to charge what you're truly worth. The conversation also highlights practical steps for business owners to reposition themselves, elevate their brand, and create long-term sustainability. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Stop Competing on Price: Competing as the cheapest is a race to the bottom — it attracts the wrong customers and limits growth. Value Is More Than Money: Customers pay for experience, expertise, reliability, energy, and creativity — not just the product. Premium Pricing Builds Stronger Businesses: Being the most expensive helps you attract better clients, improve financial resilience, and survive tough times. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Mindset Is Everything: Breaking free from a poverty mindset and believing in your worth is essential to charging higher prices. Reposition Before Raising Prices: You can't "put lipstick on a wombat." Rebrand, refine services, and improve the experience before increasing prices. You Will Lose Some Clients — and That's Good: Raising prices naturally filters out low-value customers, making room for clients who appreciate and pay for quality. One action small business owners can take: According to Andrew Griffiths, one action small business owners can take is to courageously raise their prices to reflect their true value — starting with a clear plan, improving their offering, and confidently communicating the change to their customers.

If you've ever felt like hiring is a shotgun approach and retention is just luck, this session will change how you build teams. In this Total Talent Masterclass, Brian Weidner (Career Tree Network) sits down with Nathan Shields to unpack a strategic, repeatable approach to building a game-winning culture of recognition and retention that actually moves the needle. Nathan walks through how intentional values, recognition systems, and leadership by metrics turned his clinics into high-performing, sticky organizations — the same factors that helped him build and sell a business at a valuation well above industry averages. Together, they cover how to stop reacting to churn and start engineering a workplace people want to join and never want to leave. You'll learn:How to hire and fire by values so culture becomes a competitive advantage (and not just a buzzword)Practical recognition systems that scale: from peer-to-peer shoutouts to quarterly town halls and value awardsWhy embedding values into every stage of the employee lifecycle (ads → interview → onboarding → reviews → offboarding) prevents culture driftWays to measure recognition success (NPS for employees, retention & productivity KPIs, and qualitative pulse checks)How to balance production AND values — and why sacrificing one for the other destroys morale fastLeadership playbook: lead like an owner, coach by metrics, and create career conversations that reduce surprise exitsIf you're a hiring manager, clinic owner, or HR lead who wants predictable staffing, lower turnover, and a culture that amplifies productivity, this masterclass gives you the framework and tactical next steps.
Most recruiting playbooks are either too vague to matter or too corporate to inspire. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a magnetic recruiting playbook; one that does more than document steps. It attracts the right talent, builds deep community, and creates retention that scales. We'll cover three powerful pillars: marketing that feels human, community that creates belonging, and retention that builds belief. This isn't theory. It's a rhythm that reinforces your leadership at every level. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most playbooks fail and how to build one that magnetizes people to your team [01:00] What a Playbook Really Is – Not a document, but a lived rhythm that reflects the culture of your team [02:00] Part 1: Marketing That Connects Define your content pillars: What should you be known for? Build a cadence: Weekly posts, monthly updates, quarterly events Show your leadership: Let the market feel what it's like to be led by you Involve your team: Shared wins and team content multiply your message [03:30] Marketing Is Not About Going Viral – It's about being consistently visible with real value [04:30] Part 2: Community That Retains Outline rhythms of connection: Weekly calls, celebrations, shout-outs Systematize belonging: Notes, gifts, personal coaching Teach peer-to-peer support: Real community isn't top down, it's side to side [05:30] Community Has to Be Structured to Scale – Templates, calendars, and shared docs bring this to life [06:00] Part 3: Retention That Lasts Four keys: Clear expectations, consistent coaching, visible progress, emotional connection Define onboarding rhythms Track growth, give feedback, build relationship Retention isn't about comp or ops, it's about belief [07:00] The Gift of Documenting the Gaps – Writing your playbook reveals where you're winging it, and that's how you get better [07:30] Final Challenge Create three sections: Marketing, Community, Retention List five things you already do and five you want to start doing Build templates, assign owners, and create checklists over the next 30 days Key Takeaways A Playbook Isn't a PDF. It's a System That Lives and Breathes – Build rhythms, not just resources Marketing Should Be Personal and Predictable – Stop trying to go viral. Start being visible Community Doesn't Happen By Chance – It happens by design and weekly repetition Retention Is Built, Not Hoped For – It requires coaching, celebration, and belief Your Playbook Makes You Scalable – It moves your leadership from your head into the hands of others You don't need to build something flashy. You need to build something real, something that grows with you, attracts the right people, and keeps your team aligned. Want help building your own magnetic recruiting playbook?

Running, especially the challenge of pushing uphill, is just one lens we use to explore that transformation.

We dig into mental discipline, self-talk, daily commitments, personal standards, and the quiet decisions that reshape who you become. This is a full-spectrum look at strengthening the mind, elevating your habits, and engineering a version of yourself that naturally attracts success.More from Eddie Pinero:Wear the Mindset: agns.lifestyleMonday Motivation Newsletter: https://www.eddiepinero.com/newsletterYour World Within Podcast: https://yourworldwithin.libsyn.com/Stream these tracks on Spotify - https://spoti.fi/2BLf6pBInstagram - @your_world_within and @IamEddiePineroTikTok - your_world_withinFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/YourworldwithinTwitter - https://www.twitter.com/IamEddiePineroBusiness Inquiries - http://www.yourworldwithin.com/contact
Ben Gioia helps entrepreneurs write high-quality, client-attracting books in just five weeks using his “Influence with a Heart” method. He shows busy professionals how to stay productive without burnout, even with just 20 minutes a day. He recently completed his fifth book and launched the “Five Week Draft” course to guide others through rapid, effective writing.

He focuses on writing with a clear goal—to attract clients and create opportunities. He demonstrates this with a story of how a book cover alone secured a Fortune 100 consulting project. His approach blends empathy, purpose, and consistency, helping authors connect with readers and turn their books into a driver of business growth.
