ONE THING Business Owners, Entrepreneurs and CEOs Should Focus On

Systems don’t build businesses—people do.
Want to scale, survive a recession, and build a culture-first company?

In this episode of The Mason Duchatschek Show, I sit down with Theresa Bassett, CEO of The Diamond Group and author of Uplevel, to discuss what really powers sustainable, scalable businesses: your people systems.

Theresa shares how upgrading your approach to hiring, leadership, and accountability can protect your company in uncertain times—and unlock the growth you’ve been chasing.

The full episode is a must-watch for CEOs, entrepreneurs, and team leaders looking to build a future-ready business.

Key Takeaways

✅ Recession-proofing starts with your people, not your product
✅ Culture is built through intentional systems and leadership behavior
✅ Strong people systems attract and retain top talent

About Our Company

Alchemy was the medieval forerunner of chemistry, based on the supposed transformation of matter. It was concerned with attempts to convert base metals (like lead) into gold. WORKFORCE ALCHEMY is kind of like that—except with people and businesses.

We provide various skill, attitude, and personality-based psychometric assessment tools and training to help employers with employee selection, engagement, and retention.
