High listeners, it's Reed, you're about to hear a special episode of Master's Scale called

Five Surprising Ways to Rethink Your Hiring. Hiring is integral to scaling, and it's one of the

biggest challenges. It's how you ensure sustainable and thoughtful growth for many different aspects

of your company, like operations, profits, brand voice, creativity, culture, and diversity,

grows and evolves in a sustainable and thoughtful way. But to the busy leader pushing ahead,

hiring can feel like a drag on your momentum. Adding each new team member takes a huge investment

of your time and effort. It can also feel like an exhausting game of leapfrog. To reach each

stepping stone of scale, you need to vault over the next bigger hiring hurdle as you play catchup

in terms of the size and skill set of your team. But it doesn't have to be like this. Hiring

stories you're about to hear. In this special episode, we're going to share five critical mindset

shifts that will help transform your approach to hiring at every stage of scale.
