Episode notes

There is an argument to say that at many of these large companies, that are extremely successful, there are many people who are just coasting, but this is not actually directed at top talent.
The benefits that these companies are providing are for the masses, and are not actually directed at top talent.

It's human nature to worry about the things that can go wrong.

But often overlooked is the mentality of attraction instead of detraction, or in other words focusing on what you can bring to the table instead of what you can prevent from happening.

While so many companies signal they want entrepreneurial candidates yet don't allow side projects, want out of the box thinkers yet expect them to work in a box (office), and vow they only hire top talent yet pay below market rate... there's power in thinking through whether you're truly focusing on attracting the right people or just trying to prevent wrong behavior.

In this episode, Steph and Cal discuss the mentality of being a magnet instead of a jail, originally inspired by this tweet of Steph's.
