Calling all sports fans — you guys are going to love this one!
In this episode, Sam interviews JR Butler, founder and CEO of Shift Group, which focuses on bridging the gap for military veterans & former athletes as they enter into the corporate world.
Throughout the conversation, JR emphasizes the importance of resilience, coachability, and teamwork in recruitment — and the fact that a 4.0 GPA can't speak to the true abilities of a candidate. Some of the innate values of those with athletic and military backgrounds make them highly trainable (and great team players!) — and JR shares how Shift Group trains and prepares them for success in sales roles and beyond.
Ultimately, the conversation highlights the significance of a team-first mindset and the long-term benefits of investing in early-career talent — and thinking outside the corporate box in doing so.
In short: GO TEAM!
