Your Best Employees Don't Feel Recognized — And It's Costing You | Ready to RISE Ep. 8

Episode 8 runs through the RISE Business Framework for small business owners. Brandon breaks down a jump in overdue invoices and how to protect your cash flow, Meta's $115M free skilled-trades academy and why you'll have to train your own workforce, and how values-driven buying is rewarding small businesses that tell their story. Plus: the recognition gap costing you your best people (only 17% feel recognized weekly), a cybersecurity reminder for small teams, AI adoption crossing two-thirds of small businesses and the training gap that decides who wins, why retention beats chasing new customers, and Instagram's shift toward rewarding original content. Plus a good-news shout-out and this quarter's commitments. Learn more at sharperbusiness.com.
