Summary
You're in for a treat today–Rich sits down for a conversation with industry legend, Brian Elias. That's the same Brian Elias who grew 1-800-HANSENS to an $80 million company, then sold it in 2017… then in 2020, he started a new company with his son called REFLOOR… and they are on pace to hit $70 million this year. In other words, this dude doesn't just talk the talk, he walks the walk. On today's episode, they will be talking about hiring, firing, and building company culture. You're going to want to listen carefully–this is great stuff.
