What Do You Love About Your Job?
"My job as a leader is to scale what my employees love about their work with RTC and replace them in areas of their job that aggravate them or simply don't bring them joy. In most businesses, employees love 20 percent of what they're doing and tolerate the rest. We've been able to flip those percentages around, and our staff are inspired to bring their A-game because of it."

Are You Having Fun?
"In order to be successful, employees need to be passionate and engaged. It’s important to me that everyone at my company is excited about what we do and enjoys being a part of our team.
