Join us in Episode 35 for an inspiring and strategic conversation with Gerry Gadoury, a former U.S. Marine Corps Sergeant and Signals Intelligence Operator turned recruitment expert and founder of RedBeard Solutions. Drawing on nearly three decades of experience in recruitment, management consulting, leadership, and entrepreneurship—and informed by success scaling startups like Apisero—Gerry has made it his mission to help small and early-stage businesses become Destination Employers, building cohesive pipelines that attract, recruit, and retain world-class teams.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • How Gerry’s Marine leadership experience shaped his holistic approach to talent strategy.
  • The power and structure of the Destination Employer Methodology—covering attraction, recruitment, and retention phases.
  • Why integrating talent acquisition into leadership and HR is critical, and how misalignment can lead to churn.
  • Practical strategies for startups and small businesses to empower recruiters, cultivate trust, and build high-performing, long-lasting teams.

Whether you’re a founder, HR leader, or startup enthusiast, Gerry’s grounded insights offer a roadmap to transform your people strategy and build a thriving, people-first organization.
