Business and Marketing Podcast with Adam Solomon.\nRecording this episode with Adam Solomon is one of the most fun we\u2019ve had, mostly because we are actually recording in a podcast studio. Usually we record in our guests office or they come to our headquarters.\xa0 We\u2019ve had one recording where we recorded via skype. Today, we are in the studios of Podcast Village, using professional equipment with an engineer monitoring sound. It\u2019s just a fun experience. Maybe one day Select Business Team will have it's own studio with our own in-house engineer, although our editor, Evan, does a great job once we finish the recordings!\n\n\n\nAdam Solomon is a talent acquisition recruiter and he\u2019s been at the forefront of technology for a long time.\xa0 Adam is the owner of DC Tech Search and he helps employers find qualified candidates for technology development and engineering projects. You have to speak the lingo and understand the business in order to find the candidates and Adam has the background.\xa0 In some segments of the technology industry, there aren\u2019t enough candidates to fill a lot of the positions. One of the area's we talk about is how he sells the sizzle to get candidates to consider moving to a new position! \nA few other areas we dive into include:\n\n \tBuild your company and focus on the brand, not on promoting the founder.\n \tHow to make a company recession proof\n \tThe value of having your office outside of your home\n\nAdam has started 4 companies, learning lessons from each venture.\xa0 He shares some of the ups and downs of starting each business and what he\u2019s done differently with the last business to make it a success. It\u2019s good information for every business owner.\n\nWhen recording this episode, we noted we might be over 500 downloads when this episode goes live.\xa0 At the launch of episode 12 we are over 700 downloads.
