In this clip from the mission control podcast episode with Raymond Wendell-Little and Sheldon Murphy they discuss the critical differences and massive risks of misclassifying your sales team between W-2 employees and 1099 contractors.

Are you walking the fine line between hiring W-2 employees and 1099 contractors? Raymond breaks down why he prefers the 1099 model for its lower overhead, avoiding HR departments, and eliminating unemployment tax burdens. However, managing contractors requires you to be a true leader who leads from the front, rather than just being a boss.
