If you want your culture to be void of burnout, you’ve got to find ways to serve and uplift your employees. It’s not just showing up - it’s showing up with a positive attitude. “People want to be around people that they enjoy being around.” - Hobie Higgins Connect with Hobie:Website: GatewayLoan.com Connect with Steve and Jason:LinkedIn: Jason or SteveWebsite: Rewire, Inc.: Transformed Thinking Email: [email protected] Show notes by Podcastologist: Chelsea Taylor-SturkieAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.
