  <itunes:subtitle>Ken Rusk is a leader who has built wildly successful organizations and teams starting from the ground up.  And he’s done it by emphasizing people and cultures first. This is someone who walks the talk of “People First” and he has the results to prove it.  He’s the founder of a wildly successful organization that hasn’t just been able to produce head turning results…he’s maintained an incredible 95% retention rate of his team in one of the most high-turnover rate industries in the world. Ken has been featured in places like Forbes, the USA Today, and Fox News…and today he joins us and shares a framework you can implement immediately.  This framework has helped literally thousands of leaders build teams that operate with consistency, predictability, and without sucking the life out of those who work there.
