Ever tried to woo a dream hire… and got rejected?
In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share how hiring a new executive for one of my companies turned into the business version of 90 Day Fiancé. 😅💼
You’ll hear:
- Why I risked public rejection to share this
- How I courted a former agency partner to lead our sales team
- What I did when she turned me down (spoiler: I celebrated her)
- Why I believe every “no” is just a “not right now”
- And how I literally scouted talent… at church 👀
This isn’t a hiring tutorial—it’s a real look at trusting your gut, building your dream team, and staying open to magic in unexpected places.
