The Matt Mittan Show

651 episodes - English - Latest episode: 15 days ago - ★★★★★ - 8 ratings

My broadcasting activites have evolved from being a daily topical program to being a special features platform, with a continued "Front Porch" vibe. I retired my "daily microphone" a while back, as the responsibilities of running my businesses grew. So now this podcast feed now encompasses my various efforts. Whether it's me personally interviewing someone I find interesting, or one of our "Find Your Backroad" features or the many travel adventures of "Matt & Michele Odyssey" - they are all here. Thanks for continuing to listen and stay connected! Visit www.MattMittan.com to connect to everything I have going on. - Thanks, Matt

Labor Shortage or Shortage of Desirable Jobs?

November 04, 2021 18:00 - 14 minutes - 10 MB

We should probably talk about an issue that is sitting right in front of us. There is no labor shortage, not in the traditional sense. There is a shortage of people willing to work in - or for - traditional business models. The change isn't just about increasing wages (although that is important), it's also about changing the employer/employee relationship and culture. Just thinking out loud... THOUGHTS?
