Scaling Smart: Recruiting, Delegation, and Entrepreneurial Resilience with Guest Justin Dixon
On this episode of The Ownership Advantage, host Tanner sits down with Justin Dixon, founder and CEO of Hire Tomorrow, to unpack what it truly takes to shift from the safety of a corporate career to building a business with intention. Justin shares his personal journey, from preparing for two years to make the entrepreneurial leap—just weeks before the world shut down in 2020—to growing his recruiting firm through uncertain times.
Together, they explore the power of having a supportive partner, the often-overlooked importance of downgrading your lifestyle for a shot at long-term freedom, and the hard truths about hiring that trip up most small businesses. Justin also dives into how AI is changing the recruiting landscape, what business owners get wrong about their first hires, and why letting go of ego is essential to gaining true ownership.
Whether you’re considering entrepreneurship, struggling to make your first critical hires, or wondering how to integrate AI into your business, this episode is packed with practical wisdom and real-life lessons you won’t want to miss.
