    Are Your Hiring Gaps Hurting Growth?

    Are hiring gaps quietly slowing your growth? In Episode 143 of Talk To Th3 Doc, Steve “The Doctor” Meek talks with Mark Mitford, Founder and Fractional HR Executive at HR Catalyst, about recruiting, onboarding, retention, leadership development, and why people problems are often growth problems in disguise. Mark explains why SMB leaders should always be building a talent pipeline, why a job posting is not the same as a job description, and how better onboarding and manager check-ins can help retain good people. For business owners, nonprofit leaders, municipal leaders, and DFW executives, this episode connects HR discipline with the same leadership habits that make technology, cybersecurity, and managed IT services work better: clarity, structure, communication, and trust. At The Fulcrum Group, Inc., we see the same pattern in IT. Whether through SPOT Managed IT Services, SPOT Managed Security Services, the STARPower Framework, or our No IT Jerks philosophy, healthy systems help good people do better work. Top Takeaway Equip leaders to lead effectively. Hiring gaps, onboarding gaps, and IT maturity gaps all point back to one leadership question: do we have a repeatable system, or are we relying on heroics? What We Cover • Why leaders should always be recruiting • The difference between job postings and job descriptions • How poor candidate communication hurts hiring • Why outdated job descriptions create bad outcomes • How AI and automation can help, but also miss good candidates • Why time-to-fill matters as an HR metric • How structured onboarding reduces turnover risk • Why leaders should re-recruit existing employees • Simple recognition habits that improve retention • Why promoted managers need leadership training • How trust grows through regular check-ins Episode Chapters 00:00 – Introduction to HR insights 03:06 – Current state of the job market 06:01 – Recruiting strategies in uncertain times 08:59 – Always be recruiting 11:30 – Job posting vs. job description 12:07 – Candidate communication matters 14:56 – Structured interviews and scalable hiring 19:59 – Automation and AI in recruiting 22:28 – Keep job descriptions current 24:05 – Time to fill as a key HR metric 29:03 – Onboarding and productivity metrics 31:39 – The cost of high turnover 33:50 – Key elements of effective onboarding 36:36 – Re-recruiting existing employees 39:48 – Recognition and reward systems 43:07 – Leadership development and engagement 48:27 – Building trust in leadership 54:05 – Balancing remote work and engagement 58:32 – Final takeaways and resources Guest Mark Mitford Founder and Fractional HR Executive, HR Catalyst Website: https://hrcatalystconsulting.com LinkedIn: Search “Mark Mitford” Book mentioned: People Are Your Profit Resources Mentioned • HR Catalyst: https://hrcatalystconsulting.com • People Are Your Profit by Mark Mitford • Radical Candor by Kim Scott • Patrick Lencioni and The Table Group podcasts • HR Problem Solver Podcast Connect With The Fulcrum Group The Fulcrum Group, Inc. is a Keller, TX based provider of DFW Managed IT Services for SMBs, local governments, nonprofits, professional services firms, manufacturers, and growing organizations.

    How to Build an SMB Cybersecurity Program With Peter Gailey Ep. 140

    🎙️ Talk To Th3 Doc – Episode 140 What if your biggest cybersecurity risk is not a missing tool, but the lack of a real plan? In this episode of Talk To Th3 Doc, Steve “The Doctor” Meek sits down with Peter Gailey, CEO of Gailey Solutions LLC, to unpack what SMB leaders, nonprofit executives, municipalities, and growing organizations need to understand about cybersecurity strategy, compliance, business email compromise, cyber risk, and security maturity. 💡 Top Takeaway: “Get a baseline. Just understand what you have.” — Peter Gailey If your organization cannot clearly identify its systems, assets, users, and risks, it is very hard to build a strong cybersecurity program. Peter explains why too many organizations are still playing cybersecurity “whack-a-mole” instead of taking a practical, structured, business-minded approach. What we cover: ✅ Cybersecurity trends affecting SMBs ✅ Why cybersecurity should be a CEO-level issue ✅ The role of NIST, CIS, ISO, HIPAA, and PCI ✅ Why business email compromise still works ✅ How policies, procedures, controls, and evidence fit together ✅ AI risk, third-party risk, and future governance concerns ✅ Why a baseline assessment is the best first move Guest Info Peter Gailey CEO, Gailey Solutions LLC 🌐 https://www.gaileysolutions.com/ 🔗 http://www.linkedin.com/in/petergailey 📞 214-336-1286 📧 Peter@GaileySolutions.com Fulcrum Group Links 🌐 Podcast Hub: https://www.fulcrumgroup.net/talk-to-th3-doc-podcast/ 🌐 Main Website: https://www.fulcrumgroup.net/ 📧 Email Steve: thedoctor@fulcrumgroup.net 📧 Sales: sales@fulcrumgroup.net 📞 Sales: 817-337-0300 🔗 Steve on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemeekcissp/ 🔗 The Fulcrum Group on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-fulcrum-group-inc . ▶️ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheFulcrumGroupInc 🐦 X: https://twitter.com/TheFulcrumGroup 📘 Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheFulcrumGroup/ 🎧 Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1807560282 Chapters 00:00 Intro to Peter Gailey and cybersecurity for SMBs 03:13 Cybersecurity trends and market consolidation 09:06 Common blind spots for organizations 11:54 Why baseline assessments matter 15:09 Compliance frameworks and business risk 20:09 NIST, ISO, and measuring maturity 24:01 Ransomware and email compromise 39:04 Business email compromise explained 44:52 Controls, policies, procedures, and evidence 50:59 Why cybersecurity belongs at the leadership level 59:58 AI risk and third-party risk 1:04:06 One Big Takeaway: get a baseline 👍 If this episode helped you, please like, comment, subscribe, and share it with another business leader. #TalkToTh3Doc #Cybersecurity #SMBCybersecurity #ManagedIT #DFWBusiness #RiskManagement #BusinessLeadership

    How to Fix Random Acts of Marketing With William Collins | Ep. 139

    🎙️ Talk To Th3 Doc – Episode 139 In this episode of Talk To Th3 Doc, Steve “The Doctor” Meek sits down with William Collins, Partner and Chief Marketing Officer at Chief Outsiders, to unpack why so many growing organizations stay busy but still struggle to grow. If your company keeps saying, “We need more leads,” this episode may help you find the real issue. William explains why stalled growth often comes from missing strategy, weak alignment, poor measurement, or random acts of marketing that never connect to real business results. 💡 Top Takeaway: Do we have the right strategy, the right team, and the willingness to make the investment? That was William’s core challenge to leaders trying to break through stalled growth. What we cover Why “more leads” is often not the real problem What random acts of marketing look like inside real organizations Why buyers want to self-educate before talking to sales How sales and marketing alignment impacts revenue Which business and marketing metrics leaders should actually watch How reverse pipeline thinking helps teams work backward from revenue goals Why ideal customer profile and customer pain points matter so much How leaders should think about strategy, team capability, and investment before expecting growth Why this matters This conversation is especially useful for SMB owners, nonprofit leaders, city managers, and executive decision-makers who want better growth strategy, better leadership alignment, and more measurable business outcomes. The lessons apply beyond marketing, because strategy, accountability, and clear priorities matter in every part of the business.

    Why Great Leaders Must Sell the Why

    What are you really selling to your team every day? In Episode 138 of Talk To Th3 Doc, Steve “The Doctor” Meek sits down with Phil McShan, founder of Innsider Innovation, to unpack a leadership truth that hits SMB owners, executives, and managers right between the eyes: if you lead people, you are in sales. Phil’s message is simple, leaders are always selling belief, clarity, consistency, and action. This conversation is for leaders who feel like their team has good people, a decent plan, and plenty of effort, but execution still gets wobbly. Phil explains why strategy alone is not enough, why communication has to carry the why, and why coaching is one of the strongest forms of influence a leader has. As Phil put it, “when you’re coaching, you’re closing.” What you’ll learn Why leadership is really about influence, not just authority Why teams need both the belief side and the strategy side How better communication improves buy-in and execution Why coaching mindset matters as much as coaching behavior How leaders can build stronger culture, accountability, and performance Chapters 00:00 Intro 01:10 Meet Phil McShan 03:45 Why all leaders are in sales 08:40 Selling belief and strategy 13:20 Leadership, influence, and communication 21:10 Mindset, buy-in, and change 30:35 Culture, hiring, and coachability 38:50 Developing top performers 46:20 “When you’re coaching, you’re closing” 50:10 Phil’s one big takeaway 53:00 Additional prescriptions for leaders 55:30 How to connect with Phil Guest CTA Phil’s challenge to listeners: Take a fresh look at your leadership and ask, “What am I selling to my team right now, and is it working?” He also invites leaders to identify one mindset shift and one behavior shift that would improve how they lead.

    Busy Isn’t Productive: Fix Workflow Friction | Steve Meek Ep. 137

    🎙️ Talk To Th3 Doc – Episode 137 What if the real reason your team feels overloaded is not a lack of effort, but too much friction? In this solo episode, Steve “The Doctor” Meek challenges a common business myth: that more AI, more software, and more work automatically create more growth. Instead, he explains why many organizations are busy, meeting-heavy, and digitally exhausted — but still not truly productive. If you are an SMB owner, executive, operations leader, nonprofit director, or local government decision-maker, this episode will help you rethink productivity in a more practical way. 💡 Top Takeaway: The market says productivity comes from more tools and more work. Steve’s diagnosis is that the real issue is friction — and the organizations that reduce drag fastest will create the strongest growth. What You’ll Learn ✅ Why AI adoption does not automatically equal productivity ✅ The difference between being busy and being effective ✅ How friction shows up in meetings, approvals, handoffs, and unclear ownership ✅ Why decision speed and process clarity matter more than another app ✅ How to “run a friction audit” inside your organization Time Stamps 00:00 Welcome and opening diagnosis 02:00 Why more technology is not always more productivity 06:45 The real disease: friction 10:30 Why SMBs are searching for leverage 18:30 Productivity vs. cost pressure 27:00 Why visible activity is not the same as output 33:00 The problem with “one more tool” 38:30 The flawed productivity model 43:30 The better model: clarity, process, decisions, automation 49:30 Practical prescriptions for leaders 57:00 Final takeaway and close Listen on Your Favorite Platform 🎧 https://pod.link/1807560282 Explore More Episodes 🌐 https://www.fulcrumgroup.net/talk-to-th3-doc-podcast/ Connect with Steve Meek 📩 thedoctor@fulcrumgroup.net 🔗 https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemeekcissp/ Contact The Fulcrum Group 📞 Sales: 817-337-0300 🌐 https://www.fulcrumgroup.net/ 📩 sales@fulcrumgroup.net Follow The Fulcrum Group LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-fulcrum-group-inc .
