The hosts of the Zero to 5000 podcast welcomed Choate Construction President & CEO Matt Brewer on the show to discuss critical factors that build and protect a professional relationship. From hiring practices to maintaining a healthy culture, Brewer dives into the essential components of what it takes to encourage a business to thrive.

In his interview, Brewer ponders, “How can we [at Choate] wake up each day and get every employee-owner engaged to the best of our ability, maximizing their potential?” and explores the role an effective hiring process plays in maximizing potential. Internal relationships are just as important as the external client relationships fostered every day. According to Brewer, “Selecting the right candidate is not solely based on experience, but alignment with the company’s culture, values, and mission.”

He goes on to say, “When an employee has personal investment in the company and feels supported with the tools to succeed, they are exponentially more engaged. The growth and reputation follow suit.”

“The success we’ve been blessed with is thanks to our employee-owners. Their investment of not only time but enthusiasm and engagement are what make people want to produce good work,” says Brewer.
