Growing or Selling Your Business – Why Retention is Key

In this episode, we dug into one of the biggest factors in taking your business to the next stage—whether you’re focused on growth or getting ready to sell: keeping your people. Gerry Gadoury with Red Beard Solutions joins us to share insight into what is the secret sauce.

When you’re growing, retention means stability. It’s tough to scale if you’re constantly replacing talent. And when you’re selling, buyers care just as much about the team as they do about the bottom line. A business with loyal, engaged employees is worth more and makes the transition way smoother.

Gerry is a twenty-five year veteran of the Tech Professional Services industry. In that time he has been a recruiter, sales person, manager, consultant, trainer, executive, speaker, author, and business owner. Utilizing that experience Gerry created the Destination Employer Methodology toempower Startup, Scaleup, and early stage companies to consistently Attract, Recruit, and Retain the top-talent they need to fulfill their critical missions. The methodology wasderived from the successful engagement he had with more than 75 early stage companies in empowering them to build highly performant teams. From this experience he wrote the #1 best-selling book, “Destination Employer” and he uses that experience to this day in supporting Startup growth. In addition he created the industry’s first CyberSecurity & Tech focused Recruitment & Retention as a Service (RaaS) Platform as well as the Destination Employer Program to assist Government Agency and Private Industry partners with the critical task of sourcing, recruiting, and leading the teams that ensure their success. And doing it in a manner that not only improves their overall Employment Brand but is the most cost effective solution by a wide margin!Contact Information

The 'Yeah, But' Mentality

Benny Carreon, Dennis, and Marc A Wolfe explore the pervasive 'yeah, but' mentality that often hinders personal and professional growth as discussed in Marc's book. They discuss the internal and external barriers that lead to hesitation in pursuing goals, the role of fear in decision-making, and the importance of fostering a culture of openness and support in the workplace. The conversation emphasizes the need for self-awareness, the courage to overcome fears, and the responsibility of managers to motivate and engage their employees. Ultimately, the discussion encourages listeners to embrace a growth mindset and view challenges as opportunities for development.

Marc A. Wolfe’s curiosity was evident early on when the eager fourth grader was kicked out of his New Jersey public school—for being too helpful in explaining lessons. Though confused by their decision, Marc discovered his calling: empowering people to unlock their boundless potential.

This passion lit an unexpected career fuse, beginning as a 16-year-old freelance photographer capturing Presidents, pro athletes, and celebrities. Pivoting his creative eye, Marc became a pioneering Apple computer dealer, reinforcing the magic of Macs in companies like CNBC, TXU Communications, GAF, and Tiffany & Co. years before the iPod existed.

But hardware was the means, not the endgame. Marc yearned to directly uplift leaders in transformational growth. So adding to his work as an innovation and strategy consultant, he also became an International Coaching Federation (ICF) certified executive coach, blending insights across healthcare, entertainment, finance, and more. Offering empathy, humor, and wisdom, Marc facilitates getting leaders unstuck at organizations such as Bridgestone, Tufts Health Plan, Ramsey Solutions, Synnex, Thread Bank, and Choice Hotels Owners Council.

Expanding his reach, Marc contributed leadership articles to Forbes.com while also serving as an INC5000 Executive Coach. Understanding great collaborations fuse heart and mind, Marc served as a Facilitator for Marshall Goldsmith’s MG100—fostering human-centered breakthroughs.

With his bestselling book “Yeah, But...Cut Through the Noise to Live, Learn and Lead Better,” Marc combines a career of unexpected pivots into practical leadership perspectives. Audiences relate to this witty Jersey guy living his best life outside of Nashville, TN, with his forever bride while his two adult daughters are nearby.

Marc guides his clients to action by connecting authentically and meeting people where they are at. He mixes humor, vulnerability, and wisdom distilled from unplanned detours into surprisingly impactful destinations. He always turns “Conversations into Outcomes”
