Quotes:
“Burnout isn't a badge of honor. When you are trying to do everything, eventually you are going to start sucking at some of the things that you are doing and you realize you're just holding your business back, instead of letting go and empowering people and letting them do the things that you used to do so that you can do things that you're never getting to.” [Nick, 6:05]
“The worst thing that you can do is hire in desperation. You don't want to settle for ‘good enough’. Your staff should align with the studios cultures and values. They should be proud to work at the studio. [Nick, 17:39]
“The key to growth is hiring smart and training well and leading with confidence. When you build a team that aligns with your vision you create a studio that thrives without you doing everything, and let me tell you, it just feels amazing.” [Nick, 25:44]
