    How to Hire Exceptional Talent in 2024

    How to Hire Exceptional Talent in 2024

    A great employee in the US is going to cost you $60-200K. But not everyone needs that when you get started. Here’s how entrepreneurs should hire in 2024. Start with a low cost, low risk hire in LATAM or the Philippines who can do great work for you for 50-90% less than US equivalents. If you are looking for one of these folks, go to www.supportshepherd.com and set up a call. I've hired 50+ with them and it's changed my life and career.

    Why I Sold My First Business For 7 Figures & Started a Self Storage Company

    Why I Sold My First Business For 7 Figures & Started a Self Storage Company

    Here’s the truth. My first business was tough! When I look back, I’m shocked at the amount of risk we took. But it gave me the foundation, cashflow, and the operational chops to do what was next which was building a large self storage portfolio. Here’s the story in a short clip. Listen to the full podcast with Kyle Mathews if you want the rest.

Adrian Walsh Ecostream ,

Really enjoying this podcast

This podcast has inspired me to add a maintenance division to our project based irrigation business.

GeordieDaveInAus ,

A gem

I found this Podcast via a couple of interviews I heard with Nick on Tropical MBA.
Although I sometimes wish his interviewees were a bit better prepared, Nick has a real skill for getting the best from them.
A great show based on a great concept.
