Why You Need To Hire Before You’re Ready: A CEO’s Guide to Strategic Growth

Don’t wait until you’re drowning to hire!

In this episode of The Business of Apparel Podcast, Rachel is going into the CEO mindset around building a powerful team before you need it. Whether you’re a solopreneur juggling it all or a growing apparel brand ready to scale, this conversation will change how you think about hiring.

Rachel shares candid stories from her own entrepreneurial journey, what she learned about burnout, bottlenecks, and building a dream team. You’ll get a behind-the-scenes look at how top-tier brands in apparel attract elite talent, why racing to the bottom on wages is a losing strategy, and how to create roles that others are excited to step into.

- Why CEOs must hire before they feel ready

- The hidden cost of hiring cheap
