This Boomer is Not Afraid to Teach or Learn Mark Weber

How to adapt to the times with Mark Weber

In this episode, Steve and Brad welcome Mark Weber. Mark has been in the print industry for decades and now transitioned to HVAC. He is currently the General Manager at Iron Fireman Heating and Cooling. They talk about the challenges as a business owner and general manager on changes in behavior and attitudes, the expectations of younger employees, and the concerns to attracting and retaining employment.

Episode Highlights:

08:04 I also think, yeah, I feel like they have less fear of going out and starting something on their own. We’ve raised generations of kids that are now more aggressive, more confident, and all these kinds of things. They don’t have some of the fears and anxieties we had.

09:36 I feel like we can sell our company to people, we can get them excited and enthusiastic about what we’re doing here if we have that opportunity to have that conversation.

13:22 To look at these younger people and say, we’re gonna be fine. We just have to find them out there and we have to attract them and we have to understand that they think about some of these things differently than we do.
