When Hope Meets Strategy

What happens when you leap before you’re ready and figure out the strategy later?

If you're weighing risk and reward, this conversation will change how you think about betting on yourself.

Inside this episode:

• The hiring mistake that almost cost them their culture
• How betting on themselves created faster success than "waiting for perfect"
