Wonder if he is really this relentless during a real recruiting visit. Way to go coach.

Thanks Kelli.

That was interesting to watch.

Love him, or hate him... If only half the people in this world had the passion and love for their job and their employer as JP, the world would be a much better place. ... I'm sure a 7 figure pay check helps, but regardless, I know CEO's and CFO's of companies making that and still at the end of the day don't have that passion.

According to the latest Gallup poll, more than 70% of workers are disengaged from their jobs. Not just lower wage employees, either, but middle and upper management. A disengaged employee is either an anchor or a cancer.

6 or 7 years ago, I was living in Toronto and visiting with my parents in Montreal. There was a job seminar at one of the convention centers over the weekend, and I read about it in the Sunday paper. The main point that struck me, was that the host was saying that for the most part; people care more about the company they work for than the company cares about them.

I agree with this 100%. So many people give up huge chunks of not only their professional lives; but their personal lives to try and do a good job for an employer that essentially doesn't really care about them. The host said that above all, people should strive to work for companies where the owners/management are humane and care about their well being...and of course pay them what they're worth and offer a healthy work environment.

That was very interesting. I mean I kinda had a rudimentary knowledge of what recruiting is all about, but seeing Josh in action (even mock action) was eye-opening.

Loved Geron Johnson's comment about TigerNation -- "They'd die for the M."

not disagreeing with you, but I think that mentality is changing, especially with the younger workforce. They have seen how employers have treated their parents as well as what has happened the last 6 years. The younger workforce today are always networking/ looking for the next gig because they now they the employer won't have their back, so they have to have their own.

I love my employer, it is me. More people should try it, once anyway, give it a shot. Be the man instead of working for the man.

Good job Coach.

yes, loyalty in employment is dead both ways.

Very cool.

The demise of pensions has contributed. There is little incentive to stay with a company when the only long term benefit is the promise of increased vacation time farther down the road. Previously, you were rewarded for longevity in your job; now that the 401K is the main retirement vessel, longevity is less and less important.

i guess what the average person doesn't realize is why a lot of companies had to go away from traditional defined benefit plans. it made them go bankrupt. those future obligations came due and it forced companies to have to do away with them just to survive. if employees choose to falsely believe that this means that the company "doesn't care about them" then I guess they have the right to their opinion. but the way I look at it, there would be no company, thus no current paycheck and obviously no future pension paycheck if the company becomes defunct. it's the same thing happening in healthcare right now.

great video. thanks for posting.

As i've gotten older i've come to realize that none of us are going to be lying on our death bed thinking, "I should have spent more time at the office, worked harder. That would have made my life complete". Over the years i've given away too much of MY time to my employer.

I work for a good company and I'm in good shape with a pension and a 401k but if I had it to do all over again, I'd build my own business.
