Ep16: John Hagenow reCHARGED

John Hagenow left his dream of being a player with the  Milwaukee Brewers in high school and instead focused on academics and corporate America. Using his great radio voice, John tells us his journey of leaving his steady, consistent job and venturing off to start his own business, during the recession of 2008. Great timing! He shares the trip on an airplane that sparked his idea of starting his own business. He knew there was a better way to recruit and have relationships. All his life, humility and goal-orientation are keys to his success. His advice “Don’t just be - Be outrageous enough to pursue what you love”. Take a listen to John’s upbeat and advice filled episode to help you reCHARGE® Your Life. With over 25 years of Human Resources and Talent Acquisition leadership experience across both industry-leading recruiting agencies and corporate environments (including GE and MillerCoors), the opportunity to build lasting relationships has always been the aspect of John Hagenow’s career that he’s enjoyed most.A degreed HR professional (UW-Whitewater - Go Warhawks!), John quickly realized how much he enjoyed recruiting - the people, the process, and the impact that hiring talented individuals has. There’s nothing else he’d rather be doing …(unless the Milwaukee Brewers finally call and make him an offer to play professional baseball)!John is a family-oriented individual (he two young boys and an incredible wife), who always find ways to both motivate and humor him.  He’s an avid sports enthusiast who likely quotes 80’s and 90’s movies too much and is a big believer in work hard, play hard…and a good Wisconsin fish fry.Connect with John and learn more about him and his company, Fusion Recruiters, LLC:https://www.linkedin.com/in/jhagenow/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/fusion-recruiters-llc www.fusionrecruiters.com Twitter: @FusionRecruiterSign up for our newsletter at https://abbraccigroup.com/.
