Amy and Ryan dropped a truth bomb that has really stayed with me. They talked about the importance of having buy-in from leaders they recruit for their org. As Founders we feel it’s a win to get someone to quit their job to join our startup. For Amy and Ryan they expect even more, usually a significant buy-in. What I learned is if someone can quit and get another job they approach work differently than if they’ve invested significantly into the business. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/g8G6VZJ5
