About this episode

Most recruiters say they feel stuck.

But what if you feeling trapped is a choice?

In this episode, Dan Alexander sits down with Todd Patrick Dorsey - executive search firm owner and coach to independent recruiters - to unpack the mindset patterns that shape recruitment performance.

This isn’t surface-level motivation. This is deep work.

They explore:

  • Why recruiters recreate the exact firm culture they once hated
  • How language patterns directly impact billings and retained search wins
  • The hidden limiting beliefs holding consultants back
  • Why “happy clients” is a more powerful metric than KPIs
  • How NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming) can surgically remove performance blocks
  • The difference between knowing self-development and embodying it

If you’ve ever:

  • Felt stuck in your recruitment career
  • Considered launching your own firm
  • Hit a revenue plateau
  • Struggled with confidence, positioning, or client conversations

This episode will challenge the story you’re telling yourself.

Because the story shapes the results.
