Gary Vaynerchuk
About this episode

How your employees feel doesn’t depend on the free granola, or fancy amenities. Here’s what I really think about all those goodies. It narrows down to feeling safe and letting them know they have room to grow. It’s true, it really is.

It comes down to the people and how they feel. Enjoy this one and think about what your company instills.
