Rachel Biggs Mastermind Interview

Hello everybody.

I am with Ms.

Rachel Bix, who is a, wonderful friend client of mine.

She's been a big supporter of mine as well over the last few years.

I'd let you introduce yourself first, Rachel.

Okay.

Yes, I'm Rachel.

I'm the owner of Good Works Talent.

We are recruiting and search firm located in Wichita, Kansas.

Our focus is accounting and finance placements.

One other thing really that connects me with the Wichita, Kansas is Ted Lasso.

I really like Ted Lasso, but you don't have the country accent.

I'll work on it.

That being said, how do you feel about this first mastermind?

Rachel, you honestly supported me with every single venture I've launched so far and I really, really appreciate that.

But give me some candid feedback on how you feel about the last two days so far.

Yeah, no, it's been a privilege to be a part of your journey as you influence ours.

I think so much of what you create is almost just in time.

If I think back to my business school, just in time learning just in time manufacturing, I feel like you are always one step ahead of where we need to be as agency owners.

You look ahead to the future and you can predict some of the hurdles that we're going to need to figure out how to overcome.

And then you also make sure we don't lose out on opportunities that sometimes we're so busy just doing the work.

I think having a resource and an asset like what you are for us as owners is huge because we can lean on you for your expertise to look ahead and either, like I said, seize the opportunity or prevent the issues from happening.

That's, that's actually what we've been trying to do ever since I've launched the community.

Me, my team as well.

We're just in your corner.

We are not.

I never say like I am an expert in recruitment systems.

People perceive me like that.

I, I'm just a student of the game.

I'm just trying to find better ways to solve the same problems.

But I've had so many recruiters tell me, hey, we went into this clay rabbit hole and we spent two hours, I'm trying to figure out.

ChatGPT just doesn't understand me, what systems are good for me even now, what strategy is good for me to go to market, should it be mass at scale outreach, should it be targeted?

So we just try to cover those things.

But thank you so much for your feedback.

how do you see AI impacting your day to day recruiting practice?

It's a great question.

my mind is being blown every hour of this session that we've been here together.

I think what I appreciate about what I'm learning is how to not only set my team members loose to better utilize AI, but to appreciate and understand what's going on behind the scenes myself.

You've consistently challenged me.

Don't just do it, but seek to understand for yourself too of what we need to know as owners.

Not every detail, maybe.

and I think I would also want to share with people like you were instrumental in helping me find my team members.

So it's like a double benefit that I can lean on the understanding that you provide in our weekly sessions.

Here's what's new in AI.

Here's what is worth your consideration and what's not.

Don't get stressed or anxious or overwhelmed by this piece, guys.

Just follow the plan and the process.

And you laid out the plan and the process for us.

And that combined with the team members that you have provided me over the years, has been really, really.

I really appreciate it because this is.

It's literally a real life example of a business owner who, let's say a year or so ago was like, okay, I'm not tech savvy.

I just need this person to do the job for me.

But my encouragement for Rachel was, you still need to know what's good, right?

Because now she's been talking to Claude maybe for the last couple hours, and she was just telling me that I'm addicted to this now because the MPC connections are working and, you know, she can push and pull data from her newsletter and soon from her ATS system as well.

So that's just what we're trying to do.

Like I said before, it's different use case for every recruiter.

We're trying to tailor it.

And I just want people like Rachel to come back to me and tell me, okay, I feel like I'm one or two steps ahead of where I was a month ago or maybe even a year ago.

But thank you so much for joining me, Rachel.

Thank you so much for all your support so far.

And I think we will be doing this in different locations, maybe someday in Wichita as well.

And I would love to come check out and maybe pick up a country accent.

but until then, you gotta believe.

You gotta believe.

Thank you so much.

See you guys at up.
