Finding new technicians. Most of my staff is 50 to 60 years old. And there's not a lot of young people coming into the skilled trades. So that's my biggest challenge with business and achieving a higher potential is making sure I'm ready for the future. I don't have a shortage of applications. I have a shortage of finding people that are actually qualified.” —Chris Lampien — Time Stamps *(0:22) About Chris *(1:37) How Chris’s career has evolved *(2:34) Creating Camaraderie *(5:20) Creating customers for the long-haul *(6:45) Segment 2: Across the Goal Line *(8:50) Is growth always good? *(9:51) How Chris measures success *(11:09) Managing under unpredictability *(13:00) Recent investments Chris has made *(14:16) Segment 3: How We Do It *(14:30) The great talent shortage *(19:50) Nurturing great partnerships with service providers *(24:25) Segment 3: Future Forward *(28:14) COVID related shifts *(31:17) Chris’ advice to upcoming talent — Sponsor: Wouldn’t you like to rest easy knowing that your brick and mortar locations are offering the best possible guest experience?
