The next hire you’re avoiding is costing you millions—and your peace of mind.

In this episode, I sit down with Talent Maximizer Roberta Matuson to unpack the real reason founders stall: people. We get honest about 3 a.m. recruitment anxiety, the fear of hiring someone better than you, and the scarcity mindset that keeps teams mediocre. 

Roberta dismantles hire slow, fire fast principle, shows me how to attract A-players without the massive salaries, and explains why small firms have a hidden edge right now. 

We cover when AI helps (and when it hurts), how magnetic leadership pulls talent to you, and practical ways to rewrite roles, filter candidates fast, and build a team that scales—and sells.
