Today's Dropping Bombs episode features Tim Madden, the Army veteran turned "reverse headhunter" who almost took a $12-an-hour job after leaving the military — and instead built Executive Career Upgrades into an Inc. 5000 company helping directors, VPs, and C-suite execs land six-figure roles.

Tim breaks down the documented hiring process most companies never write down, why "hire slow, fire fast" beats every gut-feel decision, and the negotiation tricks that add six figures to a client's offer. Plus, a hiring story of his own gone wrong takes an unexpected turn.

Whether you're chasing your next executive seat or trying to fill one, this episode is the playbook. Don't make your next move blind.
