This episode of Chats with Dad is a very special one. Not just because it’s the last episode of season 2, but also because we have our very first guest, the Founder of BNI, Dr. Ivan Misner.

Ivan has been called the “father of modern networking” by Forbes and CNN and he is the author of 26 books. He’s also a good friend of Phil’s (they’re working on a book together as we speak). On this episode, Phil and James ask Ivan to share how he’s overcome mistakes and mishaps during his long and illustrious career. In particular, he shares one story that he’s rarely spoken about in such depth: how he took one of the biggest mistakes in his professional life, and turned it into a triumphant moment of learning, growth, and redemption.

Hiring and firing staff is one of the most daunting things a business owner has to deal with. How do you know when you’ve found the right person? How can you interview someone in a way that actually challenges them? And when is the right time to part ways with an employee who just isn’t living up to your standards? Phil and James discuss these difficult questions and share stories of hiring and firing, from their experience both as employees and as managers.
