Ep 74 | The Mercenary's Dilemma - a podcast by Amer Abu Shakra, Austin Trudeau, & John Morgan III

Today we examine the idea of subcontracting (hiring a mercenary) as opposed to hiring and managing your own staff. This comes with many benefits; the biggest of which is the savings on insurance and payroll deductions that allow businesses hiring subcontractors to be more price competitive. You see this happening all the time in an industry like ride-sharing, but it is also very prevalent in the home contracting world that we all work in.

We’re here to tell you why sub-contracting is actually not in your best interest, and that the cost savings come at the cost of reliability, manageability, quality, and a loss of control over your business’ brand & image.

You will learn Amer’s #1 tip for how to overcome the “price is too high” objection, we will talk about reinvesting in your business vs personal assets (and how this varies depending on the business you run), and then we get into a big chat about how big news outlets, influencers, etc are all becoming “mercenaries” for hire by anyone looking to purchase credibility.

And of course... make sure you stay dialed in until the very end to hear John react to Tekashi 6ix9ine’s hit song “Gooba”.☎️☎️☎️

HINT: he is NOT a fan!
