But the story Daniel Clarke digs into here is the one most owners never manage. When Tim's wife was diagnosed with cancer, he walked into his Amazon delivery business, roughly 100 trucks and more than 100 employees, told the leadership team he had spent three and a half years training that he was leaving to take care of her, and left. He worked about one month that entire first year. The business kept running and it stayed profitable.\nTim and Daniel get into how you build a team that can do that, why he put employees first and profitability third, and what nearly 900 hires taught him about work ethic. \nTIMESTAMPS\n0:43  Meet Tim Kane\n1:27  Seven companies, a dozen swings\n10:27  What actually makes a salesperson\n25:11  What he put ahead of profit\n33:02  The year he was not there\n38:32  The California problem\n53:36  What he knows now\nABOUT RISKY ASSETS\nThe Risky Assets Podcast is produced by Greyhawk Premier Insurance Solutions.
