Join Mike Walker in this episode of TWC Talks Podcast as he unpacks one of the most overlooked yet mission-critical aspects of scaling a business: building and keeping a team of A players. Drawing from candid conversations with top-tier consultants inside our Chamber mastermind, Mike dives into the tough question every founder eventually faces: What’s the early warning sign you missed before your biggest “oh shit” moment this year?

For many, the answer was the same, losing a top-tier team member they didn’t see coming. In this episode, Mike doesn’t just identify the problem, he walks you through the systems and cultural structures you need to prevent it. From designing a workplace where the best ideas win no matter where they come from to using attitude, competency, and experience as a framework for hiring and evaluating talent, this episode is packed with practical tools you can apply right now.

Plus, Mike shares the mindset shift required to stop coddling B and C players and start building an organization where excellence is the standard and anything less is respectfully shown the door. Learn how to raise the bar, hold it high, and create an environment where A players not only thrive—but stick around.

If you’ve ever wondered how to create a culture that’s both magnetic and self-policing, this one’s for you. Let’s get into it.
