8/18/25: Business Elevated Podcast:

I had the distinct pleasure of being a guest on the Business Elevated podcast, along with my client and friend David Gray, Director of Human Resources at Lagoon Amusement Park. We discussed Lagoon's very impressive and intentional hiring, training, and other HR practices, which make it such a positive, educational, and safe place to work, especially for young employees getting their first employment experience.
