•. Fixing the entry-level jobs turnover problem •. “The results have been amazing” (Total recorded time is 19:48) HONESDALE, Pa. — When Michael Neal set up his optometry practice in rural Pennsylvania, he was focused on his patients even as a problem was growing out of sight. The problem is one that many small businesses of all types face: employee turnover, especially in entry-level jobs. Finally, something had to be done. “I have changed the way I hire for my practice and the results have been amazing,” he says. Today, while still seeing patients, the doctor is busy running a new business that he says helps small businesses with staffing through the use of psychometrics. Michael Neal talks about his solution in this episode of Bizgnus Interviews. His new company is called Build My Team. He says it models how companies like Disney and the Four Seasons hire. As it moves beyond the health care industry, his company has clients in more than 40 states and Canada. Mr. Neal says he identified the performance factors that predicted long-term employee success including speed of learning and the applicant's mindset. In changing how he hired, he says the practice began to retain employees for longer stretches and there was more energy in the practice. For more information please click here.

Jim Weiss has evolved Real Chemistry from a one-person consultancy into an international leader in health innovation. Currently, he serves as Chairman and Founder and as Executive Advisor to New Mountain Capital, Real Chemistry's investment partner. Jim is a healthcare, biopharma, medical tech entrepreneur, business leader, and digital health pioneer. He's been named a Top 50 Health Influencer and Innovator of the Year. Last year, he received the Trailblazer Lifetime Achievement Award. His affable curiosity began in our hometown of Honesdale, Pennsylvania, and was furthered at his alma mater, Syracuse University, where he was inducted into the Newhouse School's 50 Forward as one of its most accomplished graduates of the last 50 years. Jim and his wife Audra also founded the Weiss Center for Social Commerce at S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. In this episode, Jim talks with Todd Stephens about taking the leap from big pharma to launching a start-up. He recounts his early days becoming the leader that, perhaps, no one saw coming. He also touches on the next phase of his career. Through it all, Jim says his commitment to family and giving back kept him grounded. Still, he dispels the myth of work-life balance. He believes the pursuit of “downtime” and "work time" will usually merge. When he's not working, he loves to watch his Northern California teams and listen to The Grateful Dead or see Dead and Co. live! Jim resides with his wife and two children in the Bay Area.

Welcome to Times Will Tell, The Times of Israel's weekly feature podcast. This week, we speak with Jeff Abella, chief executive of Moka Origins, a kosher boutique coffee roaster and chocolate retailer based in Honesdale, PA, on the grounds of the Himalayan Institute, a yoga and meditation retreat in northeastern Pennsylvania. Abella and his staff of 15 roast and grind coffee and cocoa beans, creating their artisanal chocolates and coffee for a greater purpose. The products are part of the institute's humanitarian efforts to help subsistence farmers in Cameroon find better ways to earn money and support themselves and their farms under better conditions. Moka Origins is looking ahead to helping farms as well as in Uganda, Costa Rica and Mexico. For Abella, it's all about excellent coffee and fine chocolate, but it's just as much about social entrepreneurship. He wants more people consuming fine craft chocolate and coffee in order to broaden the net of people engaging in their social impact project. As Abella says, "the more chocolate and coffee we can sell, the more good we can do."

Joe Granville, Earl's twin brother, had always had aspirations of becoming a soldier. Once Joe took his oath, it was only right for Earl to do the same. The twins would become Infantrymen together in the Army National Guard and be assigned to the 109th Infantry Regiment out of Pennsylvania. Joining during a time of peace, the brothers' first taste of adventure landed them in Bosnia as part of the NATO mission, Operation Joint Forge, to bring peace to the region after years of conflict. This gave them both a chance to see the world and experience a new culture. The brothers quickly fell in love with the military way of life, and they knew they wanted to make it a career. As the PA Army National Guard (PAARNG) Unit left Bosnia, mid-March of 2003, President George W. Bush addressed the world and announced that the United States of America would be invading Iraq. An Iraq combat deployment was a sure bet, due, in part, to the nature of the Infantryman's job. But, eager to fulfill his service obligation, Joe Granville, volunteered to deploy to Iraq. Feeling the pressure of his brother's decision, Earl decided to volunteer as well. He felt compelled to join his brother in Operation Iraqi Freedom; furthermore, he just couldn't allow him to go alone. Both men thrived in their careers, and despite the hardships of combat they knew the military was their “calling”….They both re-enlisted prior to returning home. Once he returned home from combat, Joe got married and landed a great job as a correctional officer at SCI Waymart, a state correctional institution. Later, he was attached to the Pennsylvania National Guard A1-109th Infantry in Honesdale as a Training NCO. Earl returned to community college and earned his associate degree. The men were progressing in their lives, respectively, and all was right. The opportunity to deploy to Afghanistan presented itself to the brothers in 2008, Joe wasn't ready to go back to war. Joe had a young family, a good job, and he thought his best option was to wait for the deployment orders to drop. On the other hand, Earl felt as though the deployment had come at the exact right moment and he took it! “Who the fuck is watering their grass in Afghanistan??” BLACKNESS “When I came to…big beautiful sky...my feet are backwards, and I'm full of blood. The Humvee to my left is completely destroyed. We just hit a roadside bomb.” Listen to the episode to hear how SSG (Ret.) Earl Granville, US Army Infantryman, overcame this horrific attack, how he honors the brothers he lost, and what he is doing to change the future! Currently, he is travelling the nation telling his hard truths and inspiring other Veterans to do the same! This episode is in loving memory of: Staff Sgt. Joseph Granville (1983-2010).
