If you’ve ever wondered how to scale without losing yourself in the process, how to build a high-performing team without the hiring headaches, or how to stay connected to your vision when the pressure is on—this is the show for you.

[S5, Ep2] Hiring Isn’t the Problem — Your People Strategy Is
Tired of hiring people who look great on paper but just… don’t fit?
That last hire who drained your energy, missed the mark, and left you picking up the pieces? 👉 It probably wasn’t their fault.
💥 You didn’t need a doer.
💥 You needed a decision-maker.
💥 What you really needed was a People Strategy.
In this episode, I break down:
- Why hiring in panic mode sets you up to fail [2:29]
- What’s missing from your hiring process (and it’s not another job post) [3:34]
- My 3-part hiring framework—built for values, strengths, and future growth [4:17]
- How to stop hiring for today’s fire… and start building for tomorrow’s vision [6:02]
✨ This is your CEO moment.
Stop hiring based on where you are. Start building based on where you're going. 📈
