What's up everyone this is Alex Lieberman co-founder and executive chairman of Morning Brew welcome back to founders journal

My personal audio diary where I give you the business builder the tools you need to think better in order to build better

Whether that's building a business a team or a new product

I want to share a little update with you all for the next little while we are going to be republishing classic episodes of founders journal

Why well first I think they're really good episodes and with so many new listeners over the last few months

It's likely that you haven't heard them and second I am spending a lot of time evolving founders journal so that we can make this show as good as

Humanly possible for you the next generation of builders and entrepreneurs

And I would love your help as I dream up the future of this show

So once you've listened to this episode shoot me an email to Alex at Morning Brew.com and tell me what you want to see for me

What do you want founders journal to do for you in your life as a builder?

What are specific episodes or topics you want to see me cover in the future?

Okay, that's the update now time for the episode in today's classic episode originally published on November 9th 2020

I discuss why companies should maintain relationships with all star candidates even if they are in a fit for a specific role. Let's hop into it

So I was talking to a candidate for a writing role at Morning Brew earlier today

It was for one of the editorial roles related to our paid product

I was chatting with him and I just really enjoyed the conversation

He was sharp. He had a great sense of humor. He had multimedia content experience

So audio video and social and he refers to himself as a human Swiss Army knife

And he just generally seemed curious and excited to find ways to

constantly be a better version of himself as a person and a professional

And so what I said to him at the end of the conversation was that will keep him updated on this role

And either way we'll let him know whether we'd like to move forward or not
