On this podcast Dan and Ian talk a lot about apprenticeships, something they have offered in their own businesses in the past.
But, preparing for this episode, Ian undertook a little research about apprenticeships worldwide. He discovered that, in many developed countries, there’s a robust ‘apprenticeship culture’ that just does not exist in the United States.
So, on this week’s show, we are going to bring you the story of an apprenticeship told from both sides.
Jacob Puhl hired Cory Ames as an apprentice at the company Jake co-founded, called Firegang Dental Marketing. You’ll hear how their relationship started and how it evolved to where it is today, with Cory is preparing to take on a brand new role.
