When recruiting results are behind, it is easy to assume the answer is more recruiting activity.

More candidates.
More outreach.
More interviews.

Sometimes that is the answer.

Other times, recruiting is where a different issue is showing up.

- Is the priority clear?
- Does everyone know what they own?
- Is the process actually working from beginning to end?

Before adding more activity, take a look at the bigger picture:

Priorities. People. Processes.

Finding the real breakdown first can make everything that follows work better.

🎉 Congratulations, Mya Dodge!

We are so excited to celebrate Mya’s graduation from the 𝗘𝗚𝗣 𝗛𝘆𝗯𝗿𝗶𝗱 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺!

Mya brought an incredible work ethic, a team-first mindset, and a real commitment to learning throughout the program. As a former Division I student-athlete, she knows what it takes to stay focused, keep growing, and show up for the people around her.

Mya, we’ve loved being part of your development and are so excited to see what you continue to accomplish with Kalvin Grabau Keele - Northwestern Mutual and the Cedar Rapids team.

Congratulations!! 💙🧡

Every team has a few things that would make the work easier if they were just a little clearer.

A priority.
A role or handoff.
A communication rhythm.
A system.

Sometimes the best move is to pick one change and follow through.

Ask your team:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗶𝘀 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗻𝗴𝗲 𝘄𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗹𝗽 𝘂𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼𝗴𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗴𝗲𝘁 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁𝘀?

Then choose it, name the owner, and make it visible.

Small steps today. Stronger team tomorrow.

A question worth asking before things get busier:

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗹𝗶𝘃𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝗼𝗻𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻’𝘀 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗱?

The recruiting process only one person knows.
The handoff that works because someone remembers every detail.
The spreadsheet only one person updates correctly.
The decision that always circles back to the same leader.

For a while, it works.

Then the team grows, the work gets heavier, or that person is out.

We see this often in growing financial services offices. It is one of the places where growth starts to feel harder than it should.

Pick one thing this week that lives too much in someone’s head and make it easier for the team to see, use, or repeat.

One process. One handoff. One decision path. One recurring task.

That is how structure starts to support growth.

07/31/2026

A simple question for your team:

If one key person stepped away for two weeks, what would slow down first?

The answer usually shows where the team is relying too much on memory, good intentions, or one person holding all the details.

In growing financial-services offices, this often shows up in recruiting, onboarding, client handoffs, or daily operations.

Strong teams need clear priorities, defined roles, communication rhythms, and simple systems that help the work keep moving.

Where is your team relying too heavily on one person?

Please join us in congratulating John McDaris on graduating from our 𝗥𝗲𝗰𝗿𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗙𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗦𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺! 🎉

John brings such a powerful mix of leadership, service, and heart to everything he does. As a Purple Heart recipient and retired Army veteran, he spent more than 16 years leading soldiers around the world — and now continues to serve others through talent acquisition, community leadership, and helping people find opportunity.

Throughout the program, John brought strong perspective, authenticity, and a genuine desire to grow.

Happy Fourth of July from EGP! 🇺🇸

This year, we’re celebrating America’s 250th birthday — which feels like a pretty big deal and, in our opinion, absolutely calls for the good parade candy, extra fireworks, lake days, backyard cookouts, family time, and at least one person wearing something aggressively patriotic.

At Empire Growth Partners, we spend a lot of time helping leaders and teams build what’s next. So today, we’re feeling especially grateful for the freedom to dream big, work hard, gather with people we love, and keep creating something better together.

Here’s to 250 years of courage, grit, big ideas, and bold moves.

Wishing you a safe, joyful, and wonderfully festive Fourth of July. ❤️🤍💙
