In this episode, I\u2019m joined by Josh Hightower, who shares how pet business owners can create a scalable, automated hiring funnel that attracts, qualifies, and converts great staff. Josh explains how to treat hiring like a sales process\u2014complete with lead magnets, automation, and pre-qualification steps that save you hours and help you avoid bad hires.

We also hear from Brian Hahn, who reveals how the CliftonStrengths framework can help you build a stronger, more cohesive team. Brian explains how identifying and working with your staff\u2019s strengths can boost motivation, reduce conflict, and improve overall performance - starting with understanding your own.
