236 - Why Justin Dixon Quit a Six-Figure Job to Build a Recruiting Firm During a Crisis

Justin Dixon walked away from a comfortable six-figure job and launched a recruiting firm—just weeks before the world shut down. In this episode, he joins Craig Andrews to unpack what it really takes to lead when the timing couldn’t be worse.

Justin shares the personal finance moves he and his wife made to de-risk the leap, and why reading Rich Dad Poor Dad flipped his entire outlook on life and career. He talks about navigating COVID as a new business owner, giving away free career advice when no one was hiring, and how that generosity paid off later.

He also dives into how most business owners misunderstand recruiters—and the small moves that can drastically improve your odds of landing A-players. From running triathlons to running a company, Justin reveals the parallels between endurance sports and entrepreneurial grit.
