We're hitting "replay" and raising a mug of cocoa! ☕️🎄

Each year, our PeopleForward Network team takes a full holiday break to rest, be with our people, and come back recharged for the new year. So this week, instead of a brand-new episode, we're sharing one of our all-time favorite conversations for you to enjoy again.

Curl up, press play, and soak in the inspiration while you enjoy your own holiday downtime. Thanks for listening and letting this show be part of your year. We're excited to keep growing with you in the new one.

What if the fastest way to grow your team... is to stop hiring? 🤯

Chad takes us behind the curtain of what real explosive growth looks like. Not the glamorous, glossy kind, but the messy, lesson-filled version that comes when you scale fast and learn hard. 🚀

He unpacks the difference between simply adding people to your team versus multiplying impact by building leaders who carry the vision forward. From COVID-era hiring frenzies to raw stories about broken systems and rebuilding the right way, Chad brings humor, honesty, and heart to leadership.

Listen in as Chad reminds everyone: real growth starts with us. Let's build something, and someone, worth multiplying. 💥
