In Episode 11 of Own the Exit, Joel shared his perspective on leading in an industry where employee turnover is normal.

He explained that instead of holding onto employees tightly or making them feel guilty for leaving, he chose to lead with an open mindset. Joel understood that most team members weren’t building lifelong careers in their roles.
