Episode Description

✨ 𝗦𝗰𝗮𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝘀 𝗪𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗦𝘁𝗼𝗽 𝗛𝗶𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗶𝗸𝗲 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗔 𝗡𝘂𝗺𝗯𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗚𝗮𝗺𝗲 ✨

In this episode of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁 𝗦𝗽𝗼𝘁𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁™, Winter sits down with 𝗥𝘆𝗮𝗻 𝗛𝗼𝗴𝗮𝗻, CEO of 𝗧𝗮𝗹𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗿, to unpack the real story behind building, losing, and rebuilding at a higher level.

From creating a zombie race that ultimately went bankrupt…

to building a recruiting firm placing 100+ high-performing sales talent every year…

to helping companies finally understand what “good hiring” actually looks like.

His biggest lesson?

You don’t have a hiring problem. You have a clarity and process problem.

𝗜𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗱𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻:

🔥 Why most companies hire before they truly define the role

🎯 The truth about top sales talent (they’re not actively applying)

🧠 Why recruiting is actually a sales process in disguise

🤝 How relationships—not job boards—drive real hiring success

📉 The costly mistake of treating hiring like a transaction instead of a strategy

🚀 What it really takes to build a repeatable pipeline of elite performers

🎧 A must-listen for leaders who feel like “we just can’t find good people” might not be the real issue.
