About this listen
Careers aren’t ladders—they’re launch ramps with detours, pivots, and the occasional George-Costanza-on-the-floor moment. In this episode, Ron sits down with Katy Shapiro—one of his all-time favorite hires—whose path runs from The Franklin Institute to Top 50 TA Leader to founder of Unapologetic Ambition.
They unpack:
- How to “own the room” in an interview and flip the script (prep, presence, and purposeful questions)
- The difference between posting to acquire talent and actually recruiting
- Why corporate TA needs business access (boots, hard hats, and learning the work)
- Bias in job descriptions and selection—and how to widen your funnel without lowering the bar
- Building high-performing TA teams (speed + care) and giving people room to try, fail, and grow
- Entrepreneurship, grief, and channeling your voice into a mission that serves others
- Simple ways to restore humanity: give candidates closure and keep people at the center
