Grabbing the Brass Ring: The Unexpected Secret to Hiring Success in Business
<p>Have you ever clung to a piece of advice that shifted the trajectory of your life? That's exactly what happened to me thanks to Rick Torcaso's "brass ring" philosophy, which not only guided my time at Young Country, KYCW 96.5 in Seattle but became the bedrock of my mentoring and hiring practices. In this episode, I peel back the curtain on the moments that shaped my approach towards spotting and nurturing relentless drive in people, favoring potential over pedigree. You'll hear how this mindset played a crucial role during my encounter with the tenacious Tina Perry, now president of OWN, and how it can make or break one's rise to the top.<br/><br/>It's often said that giving someone an opportunity can change everything, and Tina Perry's journey to president at OWN is a compelling testament to that. As I recount her ascent and the OWN turnaround challenge, it becomes clear why sometimes the best leaders are the ones who initially missed the brass ring. This episode is not just a nod to the wisdom of Rick Torcaso, but also a call to action for anyone with the power to lift others. Join me in exploring the transformative effects of extending opportunities and how gratitude and mentorship can echo through the halls of industries, changing lives and fortifying legacies.</p> <br/><br/>This is a public episode.
