The CFO Title Is a CFO
Brent: People use title inflation to undercompensate people. He says it's hard to hire the talent you need because they're not going to work under the CFO that's there today. Brent is reading sacred pace by Terry Luper who's a mutual friend of ours and I'm reading the 40 day Rick Warren book.
Chris Powers (Fort Capital) joins Brent Beshore & David Cover to talk about almost losing everything, what changed his life and business for the better, building exceptional teams, the critical importance of real friendship and support, knowing where you’re going to provide the most value and find satisfaction, and prioritizing an operator’s mindset in the face of challenging conditions.
