Top 3 Takeaways:
- "Always pull on your network, always pull on that trust factor because people go to work for people. That's what they do, especially in startups and especially really early-stage startups"
-
"If you want to be headhunted, make yourself available to be found, build your LinkedIn profile. Let us find you, there's tools and platforms that exist"
- "Just realize that there is a stigma. If you're 10 15, 20 years in corporate and you've never left and you want to go join a startup. I'm not saying it's impossible, but you start putting yourself into a box and breaking those shackles of corporate life. Going into a bootstrap, incredibly lean startup mentality, hair on fire, no resources to figure it out yourself can be hard"

4:15 "How are you able to get that talent and be able to consistently get talent?"

25:00 "Is that kind of the better way to do it is learn skills in a big place and then go to a small place?"
29:30 " What, what should entrepreneurs, or what should companies be looking for?"
34:15 "Is there anything that we didn't talk about that you wanted to mention? Do you want to talk about your podcast as well?"
