In this video, BIZ Experiences Network partner Business Rockstars sits down with Fred Joyal, co-founder of 1-800-Dentist, to talk about the negative consequences of hiring friends to work for you.

It's pretty simple: Odds are, at some point you are either going to have to fire that friend or that friend is going to leave your business. Either way, it's likely that you'll lose an employee and a friend at the same time. Joyal recommends that BIZ Experiencess should protect their private lives and avoid hiring their friends.
