guest: alex belew, chef and owner of dalts and jane in murfreesboro
- look for people with integrity, self-awareness, and a genuine desire to learn over raw talent or experience
- give candidates a trial shift so both sides can see if the fit and culture actually work
- handle performance or culture problems with a calm, private conversation instead of public conflict
- be honest and transparent with your community and staff about business struggles instead of hiding them
- stay creative and keep pivoting your offerings when your usual business model stops working
