This week Don breaks down how you can start implementing one with special guest and Business Made Simple President, Doug Keim. Listen now to finally learn how to begin attracting, hiring and managing top talent within your business!

| 0:06.6 | It is a very interesting job market right now. I mean, if you want to go get hired somewhere, |
| 0:12.9 | it's a good time. What that means, though, is for our listeners who own companies and run companies |
| 0:19.2 | that we've got to figure out how to recruit top talent. We've got to be competitive in the market. |
| 0:23.7 | We've got to figure out how to keep them. And then we've got to figure out how to make everybody |
| 0:27.6 | so productive at their jobs. We can actually pay them a little more and compete. So this is quite |

| 1:22.7 | the door. Yeah, well, there's done. There's literally thousands of books written on the importance |
| 1:27.2 | of talent. And for a good reason, I don't know a leader that's worth their weight that doesn't have |
| 1:32.4 | a strong point of view on this topic that we're talking about today that, you know, they really |
