Big news, friends - our first full-time hire is coming on board next week. Here's how we approached this unconventional hiring process: 1. Lightning fast - Pinged him in the morning, had dinner together the same day 2. Vision alignment - Prioritize someone who truly gets what we're trying to achieve 3. Culture first - Focus on cultural fit before diving into skills 4. Genuine connection - Our dinner talk? LinkedIn, creators, family, and cricket - not the role 5. Ego at the door - Approached the conversation with humility and openness 6. Authenticity wins - Being easily approachable and open to real discussions The result? We found someone who feels like they've been part of our journey all along. I can't wait to see what we'll achieve together. Keep an eye on this space – I'll be sharing more about our new team member and our exciting plans soon. P.S. What's your best tip for welcoming a new hire?

Founder is just a title. Frontman is an attitude. You can forefront for your company regardless of your role. You can generate client traffic and create partnership opportunity, strategize and execute, host Spaces and organize side-events at conferences, the list goes on really. All — regardless of your title at the company. Designer can generate leads, marketing guy can jump on sales calls, BD people talk about nasty happenings in the space on their social media. So? They understand the space and can hire! Multiple hats. This way you can try everything and understand your best in this specific team. Never you are bored as a nice bonus. You also develop a hollistic POV of the entire business pipeline. You know what belongs where and how the system works. So you can adjust the knobs as needed. You reinforce the founders. You become priceless. Invaluable. Irreplicable. One and only. Being a frontman is simply a choice. After the choice is made, opportunities you never imagined slip through the cracks onto you from the places you never knew existed. Insights, connections, money. In that order of importance.

I’ve taken 10+ stressed trips in the last 2 years. Why? - Because we were hiring doers and not thinkers. Storytime: I’ve always loved travel. In the last 2 years, I used to take a trip for 10 days. And I used to be super stressed after coming back. Because in those 10 days, OWLED wasn’t able to crack any clients or increase the revenue. This incident taught me the business can’t depend on me 100% We needed to hire thinkers. Basically, people who could make decisions independently. Currently, the team is so self-reliable and accountable that I can take a break. It’s not like now I don’t need to put effort, work hard, or hustle. Of course, I need to. The only difference is when I feel that I need a few day's break I can take it without the fear that things will be on fire once I’m back.

Founders tend to forget that one of their most crucial responsibilities is hiring. We can find and bring top-tier talent all the way to the negotiating table. But the last 10% is on you. It's simple. You are the one who spent months developing your own product, bringing the idea to life, and most likely took a huge risk into the unknown by starting a company. You are the most passionate member of your company. And guess what? That's insanely captivating, sometimes even contagious. So the next time you want to hire an A-player, book a proper time slot, and spare no detail about why your company is the one. It pays off.
