Ep. 005: Prioritizing Employee Wellbeing

Bred To Lead

Show Notes

YOU'RE WORKING ON YOUR OFF TIME BECAUSE YOU WERE INEFFICIENT ON THE CLOCK

Dr. Jake Tayler Jacobs gets honest about growing so fast that he and his team started burning out, and the coach's question that stopped him cold. He also shares the night he found his mom crying in the kitchen after his dad lost his job, and how a $150 loan from his grandfather turned into a candy business across four high schools.

IN THIS EPISODE • Why wellbeing has to be a strategic priority, not a side project for HR • How vulnerability shows your team exactly where they can support you • Why he brought in a life coach and counselor whose only job was helping his team • Running a meeting audit, forcing vacations, and planning around your on-season and off-season

YOUR CHALLENGE What's one conversation you can have or one action you can take today to show your people their wellbeing matters?
