TMBA 270: A Roundtable Discussion on Apprentices, Mentoring, and Team Building
Podcast 26:54 | Download | Stitcher | iTunes | Comment
Our old friend and former team member Taylor Pearson from TaylorPearson.me has come by this week to help us have a broad, round-table conversation about team building. We talk about the ways that Ian and I have done it, and Taylor shares some insider insight about being on our team. We also answer a question from a young listener about whether he should be learning a skill set like SEO or diving headfirst into his own business.
Listen to this week's show and learn:
The benefits of "Training in Altitude" and "Playing with House Money".
Why we don't generally hire 30 year-olds.
Our definition of an "Open Door" management policy.
Why we believe in the "Six Months to Michael Keaton" approach.
When to hire a contractor and when to find a full-time employee.
Why we are returning to the era of apprenticeships and why that works better for everyone involved.
