One More Round - Vincent Licata - Liberty Staffiing

In this episode, Josh talks to Vincent Licata, founder of Liberty Staffing USA.  Vince talks about his 26 year career in staffing as an employee and eventually and owner.  Vincent went on his own in 2003 and was able to build several staffing companies with specific niches that he would eventually sell and exit.   After a brief retirement from the industry, he decided that it was time to build a new company that did things better from those in the industry and truly focused on the people internally and externally to build what is now Liberty Staffing USA.
