In this episode, Daniel and Nate tackle a tough question: how do you keep great teachers from leaving for your competitors—without pricing yourself out of the market?

It’s a dilemma many school owners face. You invest in training, build strong systems, offer excellent client service, and yet, teachers still leave. But is it just about the money, or is there something deeper at play?
