What if your investment in employees is paying off, but you’re looking in the wrong place for the ROI?

In Episode 72 of The Business Fix Podcast, Chrissy and Josh explore the invisible ROI of employee development, leadership training, retention, and company culture. They explain how investing in your people can reduce turnover, prevent costly mistakes, improve management, and build a team that can operate without constant owner intervention.

They also discuss the three Cs of retention: Capability, Confidence, and Commitment, plus why business owners should ask a different question before cutting employee investments:

What will it cost us if we don't make this investment?

Are you running your business, or is your business running you?

If your days are filled with putting out fires, chasing down updates, avoiding uncomfortable feedback, and constantly stepping in to keep things moving, you may be paying what we call the invisible tax of scaling.

Welcome to The Business Fix, where Chrissy Myers and Josh Troche tackle the people, leadership, culture, systems, marketing, and operational challenges that keep business owners and managers stuck in the weeds.

Chrissy brings the perspective of a third-generation CEO and fractional HR expert. Josh brings a systems, marketing, and operations lens. Together, they address the friction that develops when a business grows faster than its leadership practices and internal systems.

On The Business Fix, you’ll learn how to:

Stop babysitting your team and create stronger accountability
Navigate the “nice leader” trap without destroying relationships
Handle difficult conversations with greater clarity
Know when to coach, correct, or cut
Build a healthier company culture through honest leadership
Move from being the hero who fixes everything to the strategic architect of the business
Create systems that allow your business to operate with or without you in the room

There’s no motivational fluff and no academic theory for theory’s sake. Instead, Chrissy and Josh deliver practical frameworks, honest conversations, and real-world business fixes leaders can actually use.

If you’re a small or midsize business owner, executive, entrepreneur, or manager trying to build a stronger team and a business that doesn’t depend on you for every decision, this podcast is for you.

The habits that built your business can become the bottlenecks holding it back. We help leaders eliminate culture drift, reduce conflict, strengthen accountability, and build a company that thrives without them in every room. Because kindness without clarity is expensive avoidance. Learn more at https://businessfixpodcast.com.

Is your emotional intelligence helping your business, or quietly hurting it?

In this episode of The Business Fix, Chrissy and Josh explore what happens when a leader's mood becomes the operating system for the business. They discuss how emotional reactivity can damage trust, psychological safety, employee retention, communication, and team performance.

You'll learn why emotional intelligence is not about hiding your emotions, why passion and reactivity are not the same thing, and why employees may stop bringing you problems when they don't feel safe telling you the truth.

Chrissy and Josh also introduce a simple leadership framework: Pause, Perceive, Proceed.

Pause before you react.
Perceive what is actually happening.
Proceed with clarity, facts, and accountability instead of ego.

If you're a business owner, CEO, founder, or manager who wants stronger teams, better communication, and a healthier workplace culture, this episode will give you plenty to think about.
