Year after year, wildfires in California grow more intense, more unpredictable, and more devastating. We've watched fire seasons stretch longer, push first responders beyond capacity, and leave entire communities reeling. Water has run out mid-response. Crews have been forced to focus on active flames, while at-risk properties are left vulnerable. Too often, property owners are left standing alone—garden hose in hand—without a plan or resources to protect what they've spent a lifetime building. But it doesn't have to be this way.In honor of Wildfire Awareness Month, this episode focuses on proactive solutions—strategies that give landowners the tools and confidence to act before the flames arrive. Joining host and CEO, Michael Delbar, are two experts on the frontlines of wildfire prevention: Shawn Sahbari, founder and CEO of Komodo Fire Systems, and Stuart Mitchell, a Certified Wildfire Mitigation Specialist with Wildfire Mitigation Advisors. Together, they share real-world advice, innovative products, and field-tested tactics to help property owners protect their land, homes, and legacies from the growing threat of wildfire.__________If you found today's conversation helpful and want to dive deeper into wildfire preparedness, join the California Rangeland Trust and Komodo Fire Systems for an upcoming webinar titled “Mitigating Fire Risks on YOUR Ranch.”You'll hear more from Stuart Mitchell on smart, real-world mitigation strategies, gain insurance insights from a local agent, and explore the range of products Komodo offers to help you protect and prepare your property.To learn more and reserve your spot, visit rangelandtrust.org/events.__________If you're interested in having Stuart visit your property to assess and help reduce wildfire risk, head to wildfiremitigationadvisors.com to learn more and get in touch.Want to learn more?

On this week's show, I'm excited to be joined for the third time by DSP (David Spencer-Percival!).The founder of Life Science People, a global life science people provider based in the UK with offices in the US and soon to be opening in Europe. They are just under three years old with 100 staff.The first time David was on the show, they were on their way to a hundred people - they were flying. The second time, earlier this year, David talked about how they'd lost a lot of money in the downturn at the end of last year - £800,000 in three months. The market just wasn't great. Now, he's back on the show to share that they've just secured £4 million in investment funding by Silchester Partners. This discreet, private hedge fund now owns 20% of his business and the £4 million is going to fuel their growth for the next 10 years to help them get to 1000 people. In this 30 minute episode, we cover:
Starting a cybersecurity recruitment business during a tech market downturn can be exceptionally challenging for several reasons: reduced demand, intense competition, financial constraints, and talent availability. Despite these challenges, it's not impossible to succeed in launching a cybersecurity recruitment business during a downturn, as proven by my special guest, Stuart Mitchell. Stu founded Hampton North in 2022 with the goal of building the most trusted cybersecurity search firm in the united states. Despite the downturn in the tech market, they're on pace to bill $1.5-2M in their first year. In this episode, Stu shared his insights into key topics that help him succeed: finding the right people to surround you, attracting and retaining the best people, and how to build a personal brand, and becoming a recognized industry leader. With over a decade of experience, Stu has been a successful billing manager, having personally billed over a million dollars while building a multi-million dollar team who achieved an EBITA of $1m. He's placed some of the most well-known cyber security executives into Financial Services Companies, Retail Brands, and Tech Giants alike. He has built cyber security programs from 0-20+ on multiple occasions, including one of these scale-ups in less than 8 weeks. Episode Outline and Highlights [03:30] How Stu got into recruiting leading to him starting his recruitment firm. [11:30] From good to great - finding the right people to surround you. [16:18] How Stu began to build his brand by sharing a case study on LinkedIn. [20:48] Stu shared how he launched Hampton North and what makes them thrive despite the downturn in the tech industry. [29:52] Attracting, hiring, and retaining the best people as a startup. [39:21] Breakdown of how Stu became a recognized industry leader. [50:00] The importance of consistency in creating value-adding content - hear Stuart's content strategies. [1:03:30] Stu shares what is next for Hampton North. Overcoming a Tech Market Downturn - Launching Hampton North and Billing 7 Digits on Their First Year A remarkable achievement that I wanted to discuss with Stu is how he launched his cybersecurity recruitment business, Hampton North in 2022. What makes it amazing is that despite the downturn in the tech market, they are on pace to bill $2M in their first year! I am excited to share in this episode Stu's insights on the things that contributed to this success. We zoomed in on three key factors: The importance of hard work. Developing key account relationships. The quality of people that you hire. The third topic resonated well with me as I feel the impact of having the right team members to support my business. For many recruitment business owners, especially those who are just starting, hiring someone can be like a roll of the dice. Stu shared how he was able to get the top talents and retain them. It can probably be summarized with a question that serves as his guiding principle when hiring: “Who are the best people that I know, and why aren't they already working here?” Becoming a Recognized Industry Leader and Consistent in Sharing Relevant Content Stu also did a phenomenal job in establishing a reputation in the cybersecurity space as a recognized thought and industry leader. With more than 40,000 LinkedIn followers, he is consistent in posting industry-relevant content. I also enjoy the posts that he shares, so I wanted to get his thought process on how he is consistently coming up with ideas. We discussed the following subjects: The impact of sharing case studies. Creating a brand of familiarity less the intention of wanting to be liked. Avoiding “forced content” by sharing free-flowing ideas. Strategies in creating 2-3 posts a day consistently. Stu described his thought process this way, “I think I kind of see this as t kind of the writer's strike in Hollywood, right? The more you force it and try and make things rigid and structured like it's really hard to force great ideas. Great ideas are free-flowing.” Surrounding Yourself with the Right People Before becoming a recruitment business owner, Stu has always been a consistently successful billing manager. He billed over a million dollars while building a multi-million dollar team that achieved an EBITA of $1m. He revealed what can turn a good recruiter into a great recruiter: “I think it goes back, there's a saying of yours, your collective sum of the five closest people around you.” Stu mentioned great recruiters where he learned to shift his perspectives in terms of what is possible. Surrounding yourself with the right people can shift your whole belief system to drive you to reach your potential.

I'm super excited to be joined by Alexander Antoniou, the founder of AL Solutions, a Life Sciences specialist recruiter headquartered in London, just over five years old, with 25 staff.Now, the reason I wanted to interview Alexander is because he's not only grown AL Solutions, but he's also built a portfolio of five other businesses that he does the back office support for. They share infrastructure, and he's basically set other people up.Alexander is only 25 years old!He got into recruitment at 18. Having said to his parents, who wanted him to become a lawyer, that he was going to have a gap year and just work in sales to save some money for university. He then became the top performer at a local life science recruitment firm, and two and a half years later, at the age of 20 years old, he went out and set up AL Solutions, which stands for Antoniou Life Science.Alexander is an incredible guy with incredible energy. He's so young and has achieved so much.He looks at the business with energy, passion, and a level of simplicity. I believe we could all learn from the way he runs his business.You're going to enjoy this episode if you are a recruiter looking to start your own business in the future or if you're looking to grow and you want to think a bit clearly and a little bit more simply about the whole solution. __________________________________________HoxoAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

On this week's show, I was joined by Stuart Mitchell, the founder of Hampton North, a specialist cybersecurity search firm, headquartered in the US with 3 staff. He's based in Connecticut, just between Boston and New York.He launched the business in September 2022, so we're only nine months into his journey.I wanted to interview Stuart because he's built an incredible personal brand. I have never worked with Stuart, so I can't take any credit, but the way he works is exactly how I believe the modern recruiter should.It's what I teach thousands of people to do all over the world. He started investing in his personal brand in 2017 and by 2019 he was at Stott & May on the west coast of America. He was bringing in business all over the world for his teammates and he started to realise the power of personal branding and inbound on LinkedIn. He then teamed up with RecruitHub and launched his own agency. After nine months, he has billed over $ 1 million which is incredible! He's now at three people and he wants to build a company that is fit for the modern era - a remote first business. All of the people who worked for him have approached him, and they're already top billers elsewhere. So, anyone who's looking to start an agency, you're going to learn a lot. Anyone who's already running a business, you could learn a hell of a lot from the way he's running his.__________________________________________Hoxo MessageAre you spending hours on LinkedIn and cold outreach and want more business coming to you over your competition?

They're all the homes that look identical but they're actually different." -Stuart Mitchell Episode Description: Fire is one of the most destructive disasters that can happen to a home.
