The Art of Figuring it Out, Hiring, & Imperfect Action with Sage Toomey

We all have that friend who's tried everything, knows a lot about a lot of things, and is always down to just figure it out - and Sage Toomey, sommelier and entrepreneur, is that to a T. I loved having her join me on the pod this week for a juicy convo, where we cover:
her journey through entrepreneurship and owning different businesses
our experiences (and horror stories) from hiring & firing employees
where to post your job that actually works & what’s worked for us
the hardest parts of hiring are TRUST and communication - and how to work through those
the value of being someone who can figure things out on their own (as an employee AND biz owner)
wine clubs, a look into the wine industry, and Sage’s experience as a sommelier
hosting a podcast, our experiences with it, what we love about it, and doing audio vs. video
mine and my fiance’s idea for a new podcast and our love for collecting vinyls
the benefits of making time for things you love JUST because you want to do it
technology, coding, different generations’ ability to use tech
outsourcing vs. hiring in business and how that changes the results and experience
being willing to make mistakes, stop worrying about judgement, follow what you love and HAVE FUN
Connect with Sage on Instagram and her podcast!
