How to make your first hires (part 2 of 3)

Throughout August, I received a lot of questions around hiring. 
 
The topic and answer deserves a lot of detail, and last week I started to go into it on what was the first of a 3-part episode run on how to hire for scaling a business, and here is the second part. 
 
This is a must-listen for anyone who is thinking of hiring, or has hired and wants to learn more about the ins and outs of scaling a business through people.
