In this episode of the Entrepreneur Logbook Podcast, host Zachary Bernard sits down with Joey Price, President and CEO of Jumpstart HR, an award-winning HR consulting and technology analyst firm. With nearly two decades of HR experience, Joey has transformed from an HR assistant to a respected voice in the industry, authoring "The Power of HR" and delivering TEDx presentations.
Joey shares his unique journey from kinesiology to HR, revealing how he shifted from helping athletes perform their best on ball fields to helping professionals excel in corporate settings. The conversation dives deep into the three Ps of business (profit, people, and purpose), the evolving role of AI in HR, and why founders must view HR as a strategic investment rather than a cost center.
