The Culture Matters Podcast

Season 80, Episode 960: Guest: Nick Holmes: High-Quality Work

Jay Doran Season 80 Episode 960

"While I was unaware that, at the time, my real compensation for that job wasn't monetary. It was learning about, and getting comfortable with, rejection and, as I would later realize, indifference to rejection is a fundamental part of being an entrepreneur." - Sam Zell



Author of The Blueprint, founder of Holmes Drafting Services and the Holmes Family Foundation, and the founder of ApeShot Media Nick Holmes is joining the program today and we have a lot to cover, so we're jumping right in.  During today's discussion, Nick and Jay are digging into why contractors get a bad wrap even though an overwhelming majority of them are providing high-quality work, why people in the industry run into issues because of only dealing with one product or service, and how shifting your focus in hiring for the long-term instead of simply because someone checks off a few boxes is going to benefit your company for years to come.  Having Nick on the show was a real pleasure and we're looking forward to hosting him again on The Culture Matters Podcast.
