In this episode, I sit down with Zach Creighton, founder of Hemans Talent, a financial services search firm he built from zero in Dallas.

Texas. Zach spent a decade in recruitment, scaling the Selby Jennings Dallas desk to nearly 40 people, before walking away with 30 direct reports to go it alone, self-funded, with no brand behind him.

We cover how he hit $1M in year one and backed it up with another $1M in year two, through relentless face-to-face BD, a disciplined niche focus, and a client strategy built around exclusivity without ever dropping his fees to get it.
