## Resource

What happens to your business when your star player leaves? In this episode, Dan Rochon breaks down how to build a “deep bench” of top performers so your business keeps winning—no matter what happens. Drawing lessons from his own leadership experience, Dan reveals how to find proven talent, how to interview for mindset (not just skill set), and how to identify future stars before the competition does. You’ll discover the three categories of talent—potential, emerging, and proven—and how to decide which is right for your business stage. Dan also shares his simple step-by-step system to evaluate candidates, predict their success, and build an organization that’s ready for anything. If you’ve ever felt stuck hiring the wrong people—or scrambling when a key team member leaves—this episode will change how you attract and retain great talent forever.
