This week we positioned our most powerful fan at the rear end of a corpulent bull in hopes of snaring the attention of legendary bullshit fighter, Alex Smith A strategist who's set himself the mountainous task of extracting all the nonsense from business strategy, Alex is very much a breath of a fresh air in a field that can, at its worst, smell a lot like somebody's done a poo… on a dead crab… in the drains of an abandoned laundrette… and then set it on fire. He is the author of a bestselling book on strategy, titled, with Alex's typical disregard for fluff, No Bullshit Strategy. In those pages – and through Alex's wildly popular LinkedIn posts – he makes a compelling case for businesses to look more closely at the decisions they make and wheedle out the ‘anti-strategic' ones that are causing 99% of all pickles. So, in true Alex fashion, we probably could have just said something like ‘he helps businesses get stuff right, more of the time' instead of all that nonsense about the crab and the laundrette. Ah well. This episode is dedicated to Alex's wife who is the engine and foundation underneath everything.  ///// Follow Alex on LinkedIn.

Nic and Tarina start off with a good laugh at themselves and one another. One because of Nic's always hard nipples (seriously, you gotta listen to it). And Tarina's gig work as a helper of Amazon and USPS delivery guys while wearing flip flops.Nic goes into more detail about how he helps apprentices understand finding the right fit career. So, he expands on his “Three Circles” idea: 1) What are you passionate about? 2) What are your skills? 3) What will the market pay for?Together they map Nic's path for how got to where he is today as a professional speaker. He figured out that he's good at taking complex ideas and breaking them down into easy-to-understand simple solutions. And how his real passion is helping people—to which Tarina replies, “See, you like helping people, too!” But Nic eventually took a 30,000-foot view to fully appreciate 1) what he was passionate about; 2) what he was good at; and (most importantly) 3) what the market would pay for.What Nic and Tarina find important about this topic is the tendency of many people to focus on only one aspect of the Three Circles. As Nic says, “When we find ourselves taking a job or a career because of the money. If we only look at what it pays, we're going to find ourselves in a career that we're miserable in.” This they see as a major cause of burnout.The leader's job in these situations, especially when they see burnout in one of their people, is to apply the breaks for them. This is important for both parents and leaders. So, it's not a day off people need. They may need you to help make sure they take a little breather. And it's about giving them the protection, the air cover, they need to do a little less so they can realign and keep going.And sometimes even leaders need to take a step back. If things aren't working, the right thing to do is the hard thing to do. This might look like a foreman stepping up to step out and return to working a journeyman again.If you enjoy Nic and Tarina's podcast and get something from listening to “all this Nic Bittle Crap,” please hit the like button, share it with a friend, or both.

Selecting qualified people who can fit in and contribute effectively is a key hiring manager challenge, whether you’re a mid-manager or senior executive. When the decision is right, you can relax and enjoy the ride. When the decision is wrong, you can look forward to losing 2 times base salary plus the hidden but significant costs of morale problems, customer chagrin, lower productivity, and missed opportunities. Today, we’re going to discuss the advantages of psychological or executive assessment for key people when it is added to traditional hiring methods and other best practices. Traditional hiring will more likely lead to a 40 to 60% (at best) success rate.

What are you using to guiding the type of team that will grow your agency to it's full potential? In today's episode, our featured guest shares his experience of co-founding a digital agency two decades ago with a group of former colleagues. By bringing clients from their previous agency and leveraging a steady stream of referrals, they were able to launch and grow their business. However, he quickly discovered that attracting the right talent—especially individuals excited to join a small, fledgling agency—was far more challenging than expected. Learn the valuable lessons he's learned about hiring, the qualities he looks for in candidates to drive his agency's success, and why he emphasizes the importance of acting swiftly when a hire isn't the right fit. Justin Hall is the co-founder and managing partner of Voxus PR, a B2B tech PR, social media, and content agency based in South Seattle. He shares the story behind how he and his partners transitioned from a larger agency to launching their own, the uncommon support from their former employer during their transition, and what's he's learned since about hiring and scaling. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why asking “who” matters more than “how” in agency growth. Balancing experience vs. potential in agency hiring. Be quick to act if a new hire is not the right fit.

An Intentional Agency Backed by the Old Boss Justin's path to agency ownership was more deliberate than the typical accidental agency owner. He worked at a big agency twenty years ago, where he joined a group of workers who set out on their own to build an agency. Motivated by the idea that they could figure out a better way to do things, this group ventured to start their own business. They had built a reputation for exceptional work, which earned them not just their former boss's blessing, but also the opportunity to bring several existing clients with them. In fact, Justin acknowledges that their old boss' support played an important role in their eventual success. It's an extremely rare case scenario and one that was a result of the great work that these workers had done for that agency. Why 'Who' Matters More Than 'How' in Agency Growth When it comes to choosing a niche, Jason believes it's a mistake to make this decision based on your personal preferences. “Do I love this particular niche?” Is not necessarily the best question to ask yourself when choosing a path for your agency. Instead, this would be a good moment to ask yourself: “Where?” and “Who?” These questions serve as guiding principles for agency leaders, enabling them to empower their teams to make informed decisions autonomously. When agency leaders focus on the destination rather than the minutiae of the journey, they create an environment that fosters initiative and proactive problem-solving among their employees. In this sense, instead of asking HOW can I get my agency to the next level? Ask yourself WHO could help me reach that goal? And WHO do you need to become to not hold the agency back? This mindset of surrounding yourself with the right people who can contribute to the agency's vision and help navigate the complexities of growth should also align with your recruitment strategy. As Justin has learned, leaders should be hiring for initiative and communication rather than merely filling positions based on specific skill sets. Balancing Experience vs Potential in Agency Hiring Once the business was set up and some clients were secured, Justin and his partners faced the challenge of scaling and adding new business responsibilities to the client work they usually handled. Fortunately for them, the referrals poured in during the first several months, so new business was not a concern. On the other hand, finding talent willing to join a small agency was not easy. Unlike larger corporations with specialized roles and departments small agencies require employees to wear multiple hats. As Justin explains, the ideal candidate must not only excel in project management and writing but also be adept at pitching media and communicating effectively. This recruitment challenge prompted a fundamental strategic question: should they prioritize experienced people who could immediately contribute, or invest in developing new, young talent with the right potential? Each approach has its merits. Initially, the partners sought seasoned professionals who could make an instant impact. Yet they quickly discovered that these experienced hires often required significant support and integration. Hence, they now expand their search to also find talented young individuals fresh out of college with the right attitude and potential that could be trained to become valuable team members. The agency has adapted to offer these individuals what they would need to thrive: invested mentors and the right processes to make them the best they can be. Making Hard Choices in Small Agency Leadership Thinking about past hiring mistakes, Justin goes back to the need to fail fast when you're running a smaller agency. This is true for clients and also for employees. In both cases, you'll need to say no sometimes and be quick to find out whether or not they're the right piece in your puzzle. The balance between nurturing talent and recognizing when to make tough decisions is a delicate one that agency leaders must navigate. You may recognize the signs that an employee is just not right for your team but fail to act quickly and hold on to them thinking you can turn things around. It's human nature to want to fix the problem. For Justin, it depends on whether or not the employee is 100% invested in trying learn and get better. At the end of the day, however, if they're not capable of fulfilling certain functions in a time-effective manner, then they're probably the wrong fit. This philosophy is compassionate yet pragmatic. It recognizes that sometimes, the most supportive action is to acknowledge when an employee's skills and the agency's needs are fundamentally misaligned.
