Episode notes
Training Programs as Competitive Advantage
- Build a good training program for low-skill, high-turnover positions.
- This reduces costs compared to hiring pre-trained workers, increasing your advantage.
Superstars and Culture Fit
- Recognize and retain "superstars" who fit your company culture.
- Don't make cultural exceptions for them, as high performance coupled with negative cultural impact can be detrimental.
Scaling Difficulties
- Scaling from $0 to $1 million is hard due to ignorance about business.
- $1 million to $3 million requires new team-building skills; $3 million to $10 million requires shifting focus from the front end to product and backend.
