Ice Cream with My Mom đ„°
đ Tampa, Florida, Monday, October 13
This isnât a âlook at me, I can take Mondays offâ post.
Itâs simply a reminder that our time with the people we love is finite, especially our parents.
If our businesses arenât designed to make space for moments like this, then whatâs the point of it all?
Iâm deeply grateful for a team that allows not only me, but everyone on the team, to enjoy these moments.
Every person at Staff4Half has the same freedom and flexibility to design their work around what matters most in life, and that could very well be an ice cream on a Monday afternoon with mom and the nieces.
Three things that help us:
1ïžâŁ Design for redundancy. Cross-training and clear SOPs ensure that no single person becomes a bottleneck, myself included.
2ïžâŁ Protect moments that matter. We encourage teammates to block time for important family moments, no questions asked.
3ïžâŁ Lead with trust and clarity. When I take time off for moments like these, it sends a message that everyone can too.
Business is a vehicle, but the destination is a life youâre proud to live with the people you love. â€ïž

The Hiring Conversation: Building Teams with Heart
Some ideas arrive fully formed.
But others take years to find their place. For me, building companies has always been more than just building products or services. Itâs about the people:ÂThe ones we hire,Â
The ones we grow with, and sometimesÂ
The ones we have to let go.Â
Over the years, Iâve come to embrace that people component more and more. Leadership without people at heart is nothing. Thatâs why Iâm bringing back The Rosemary Czopek Podcast with a new season called âThe Hiring Conversationâ. I want this to be a place for candid, open talks with (women) founders about what it really takes to build great teams from people:How do they hire?Â
How do they lead?ÂAnd how do they build teams that last?Â
Weâll talk about what worked, and most importantly, what didnât. Because itâs the failures that teach us the most. Learning from those whoâve been there and are willing to share their experiences has always been the most effective for me. And thatâs what I want this new season to be:
A place for mutual learning.
