What truly matters more in hiring—skills or character? Dave MacDonald, founder of Better Together Group, brings hard-earned wisdom to this age-old question. After being fired multiple times in his twenties ("I was a lousy employee"), Dave transformed these setbacks into powerful leadership lessons that now guide his successful HR and staffing business.With refreshing honesty, Dave introduces us to his "WTF philosophy"—Work hard, Tell the truth, Finish the job—and explains how these principles shape his approach to identifying standout candidates. Through his powerful furnace metaphor, he demonstrates how the right combination of intensity (the fire), integrity (the firebox), and intentionality (the ductwork) creates teams that genuinely thrive together.Beyond philosophical frameworks, Dave offers practical, immediately applicable interview techniques. Learn why asking for multiple examples of the same character trait reveals authenticity, how pattern interruption separates rehearsed answers from genuine responses, and when to prioritize filling a position versus waiting for the perfect candidate. His advice balances real-world business needs with the pursuit of character-driven cultures.Perhaps most compelling is Dave's vulnerability about his own leadership journey. "I'm still very confident, but I'm also a scared little boy inside at times too," he admits, reminding us that authentic leadership requires acknowledging our full humanity. Whether you're hiring for your organization or preparing for your next career move, this conversation provides a fresh perspective on what truly matters in building successful teams.

In this episode, I interview Annette Kaitinis, the Co-founder and Director of Scoot Boots Pty Ltd, Australia’s only manufacturer of equine hoof boots for barefoot horses. In 2015, she formed a business partnership with her ex-farrier, Dave MacDonald, who in invented a shoe for horses. After patenting and eventually selling that, he teamed up with Annette to launch the latest business, which has seen annual growth of 25% to 120% in each of the last three years after massive first-year growth.  With only five competitors in the world, they sell through over 500 stockists in Europe, the USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Australia (This is their smallest market). They went from 2 team members to 11. They grew organically with profits going back into the business to improve its processes and products and produce new sizes and accessories. Their manufacturer in Indonesia is able to produce in excess of 500 pairs of Scoot Boots a day, or in excess of 180,000 each year. The Indonesian company also warehouses and ships most of their orders.  They've invested heavily in systems and technology with a big focus on excellent customer service experience. Outsourcing marketing initially is key, and they felt they had succeeded when they bought and moved into their warehouse. She believes the hardest thing in growing a small business is the first two years, and the advice she would give herself on day one of starting in business is, “Get help. It’s so important to get someone to assist and advise you” Stay tuned as Annette graciously shares her amazing small business journey. This Cast Covers: Disrupting their industry by manufacturing equine hoof boots that are healthy alternative options. Serving huge markets in the United States, Canada, Europe, Scandinavian countries, New Zealand, and Australia. Designing their product to solve a major hoof protection problem. Being in an emerging market with only five competitors worldwide. Experiencing 1000% growth one year after their launch and shifting out of the startup stage into a growth stage. Continuously tweaking their product, manufacturing accessories, and the challenges they’re facing during the COVID-19 pandemic. From a two-man show to building a team of 11 employees and how systems and processes have helped make operations easier. How they had to outsource their marketing to a digital marketing agency during the startup stage and why they’re handling it themselves now. The successful strategy of growing their business slowly. Moving into their new warehouse, scoot boots being worn by mounted police at the SuperBowl final, and other success moments. The value of taking control back by handling their marketing in-house and focusing more on Facebook marketing. Getting various grants and growing the business solely from cash flow. The pain point in ensuring customers have the correct sized product. Improving their product and consistently ensuring the best customer experience. The excitement of running the business and loving the entrepreneurial journey. The challenges of trying to work on the business rather than in it. The importance of staying inspired, focused, and passionate about the product one is selling. Recruiting wisely to get people who are much smarter and share in the passion. Building a sustainable culture by allowing the employees to grow in the business, bring a lot to the table, and learn while working. Learning constantly from different channels and networking. The value-added from winning numerous national and international awards, and getting mentors. Dealing with the hardships that come in the first few years of starting a business.

Rich MacDonald is involved in sales and promotions at Superformance / Hillbank / Shelby Legendary Cars in Irvine, California.

Rich’s father Dave MacDonald raced Cobras to many victories in the 1960s so Rich feels right at home representing these iconic sports cars, many of which were featured in the recent FOX/Disney blockbuster movie Ford vs Ferrari.  

Dave MacDonald from Crafted1K joins the podcast to talk all things cartooning. Dave talks about how he developed a love of comics and doodling at a young age (shout out to Calvin and Hobbes and Garfield) and how accidentally stumbling into a sales career led to his current business. Crafted 1K helps businesses share their message via engaging cartoons. Dave chats about how brands should know what their goals and messages are, and how cartoons and comics can lead to happy customers. Dave discusses the three benefits using cartoons: people better remember them thanks to the “humor effect,” they’re fun to share, and they’re more effective than a standard text. If you read information paired with an image, you retain info 65 percent better than if you just read the text alone. Additionally, we talk about how different and impactful a message can be if your audience consumes it over multiple days instead of all at once (a la the Netflix binge effect). Dave and I are also both HUGE fans of Calvin and Hobbes, so we chat about our favorite strips from the series. If you’ve never read Calvin and Hobbes, first of all, I am so sorry. Secondly, please pick up a collection from your local bookstore or even right here on Amazon. But before you do that, visit Dave at his site Crafted1K and sign up for his Saturday Morning Cartoons, or say hello over on Instagram.

In this new monthly segment with Dave MacDonald, the President of The Western Australia Police Historical Society he tells us the fascinating story of the watch that saved the Policeman’s life back in 1891.
