September was a great month! Travelled to Austin with my wife. Worked on exciting projects. Met founders aiming to improve their hiring processes. Here's to more in October!

In Austin last week, I discovered a love for working in hotel lobbies. In the US, there's a buzz about using a laptop in a busy space.

I still get a buzz helping founders land their first hire. It changes the game overnight.

My goal is to make hiring less painful for startups and founders. Working towards it every day until we get there together!

The best candidates aren’t looking. They’re listening. Founders, sell the mission.

Every founder says the same after their first good hire. I wish I’d done this sooner!

I’ve spent years sitting between founders and candidates. Trust me, both sides are more nervous than they look.

The best founders? They sell their vision so well that candidates lean forward in interviews.

Stop chasing perfect hires. Start chasing momentum. Progress beats perfection.

Startups don’t die because of bad products. They die because they can’t build the right team fast enough.

One lesson I learned early in my career was that the best candidates rarely apply. You have to hunt, not wait. Founders need to learn this early in their journey.

Great hiring starts with clarity. If you can’t define outcomes, you can’t attract top talent.

Building a personal brand while growing a business has taught me a lot over the past few months. Not yet where I want to be, but I'm learning daily. We'll get there!
