-: The best piece of advice I've ever been given
was, I don't remember the exact quote,
but I was chatting with an entrepreneur
and he said that one of the biggest mistakes he had made,
which I took his advice, was to put a lot more emphasis
when hiring on someone's heart versus their brain
or their pedigree.
And at the beginning, I think you get very excited
when you look at what company someone's worked at
or all of these things, but again,
I think it comes back to really understanding who they are
as a person and a human and how they're gonna interact
with everyone else at the company,
because at the end of the day all you have are the people.
That's what makes up the company.
And so putting a lot more weight on who someone really is
made a massive difference and was probably
some of the best advice I ever got.
