Marcus Lemonis: HR Absolutely Deserves a Seat at the Table—But Only If They Do This

Episode 33

Tuesday, May 27, 2025 • Duration 25:56

Most CEOs say people are their most important asset. Marcus Lemonis lives it.

The Camping World CEO, Beyond Executive Chairman, and host of “The Fixer” on Fox shares why HR and Talent Acquisition leaders play such critical decision-making roles at his companies – and what up-and-coming HR and TA pros must do to earn their CEO’s trust.

He also opens up about the biggest blind spots leaders have when it comes to recruiting, retaining, and empowering talent—and why the best companies treat talent acquisition as an “offensive move” rather than a “problem to be solved”.

Marcus also shares:

What HR professionals must do to earn a CEO’s trust
Why he believes a company’s employees are more important than its customers
How recruiting every day—not just when you have openings—can future-proof your company
