Becoming That (Payroll) Guy feat. Gerard Hall

Although Gerard Hall is a guy with 20 years of experience in the payroll industry, he wasn't always That Payroll Guy. Becoming that guy began with a love for numbers, lots of curiosity, and a genuine desire to inform himself on the ins and outs of his craft so that he can help equip others. In this episode, Gerard joins Daniel to talk about how he got into payroll; how he used LinkedIn to create and grow a business without spending any money on marketing; how he numerically calculated what his time is worth; betting on himself; and how he finds balance between being a husband, father, and entrepreneur with a full time job.
