As the great historian Bruce Catton wrote in The Hallowed Ground, “when Grant showed up things began to happen.” It didn’t matter if he was in charge of a small army or a big one, he was a leader and when leaders arrive, they make a difference.

| 0:03.7 | It's also one of the hardest things that you can do. Indeed knows that when you're growing |
| 0:08.9 | your own business, you have to make every pound count. And that's why with Indeed, |

| 0:19.4 | percent of employers using Indeed find quality candidates who CVs on Indeed match their job |
| 0:24.8 | descriptions the very moment they post a job. One of the things I love about Indeed is that it |
| 0:30.2 | makes hiring not just easy, but it puts it all in one place. The moment you post a job in Indeed, |

| 2:04.5 | Stoics illustrated with stories from history, current events and literature to help you be |
| 2:09.4 | better at what you do. And at the beginning of the week, we try to do a deeper dive, |
