Episode Takeaways

  • Train hiring managers to look for personal qualities your brand values, like confidence and friendliness, in addition to experience.
  • Staff for the business you want. Don't make cuts in labor before looking for other ways to improve efficiency.
  • Embrace flexibility in staffing. If you're only hiring managers who can work 50 hours a week, you might be missing out on incredible new hires.
  • Create a strong operations and talent management strategy. Without a strategy in place, off-premises sales can actually hurt your brand.

    CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist

    It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
