He shares his counterintuitive approach to finding and empowering exceptional talent while leveraging AI as a tool that makes human uniqueness more valuable than ever.• Entrepreneurs are "broken people" who experience dopamine during pursuit rather than achievement of goals• Most business books treat employees as interchangeable commodities, leading to mediocre results• The Pareto principle shows that 20% of people produce 80% of results – fight this natural distribution at your peril• US employers struggle to hire top talent locally as they compete with tech giants and entrepreneurship• International hiring creates win-win situations where your US company becomes an aspirational employer• Pay 10% above the high watermark (not median) to access talent that performs 10-100x better• Use paid trial projects instead of resumes and interviews to identify exceptional candidates• AI replaces tasks rather than jobs, making mediocre employees dangerous while making exceptional ones more valuable• Delegate projects not tasks, and focus on outputs rather than time spent• Virtual work requires intentional connection through small teams, shared interests, and occasional in-person gatheringsStart building your dream team today by identifying what miracle workers you need and creating the conditions for them to thrive.Support the showThis episode is NOT sponsored.
