Rishon Blumberg is an entrepreneur and the co-founder of Brick Wall Management, an entertainment management company. As they hired freelancers to build websites and apps within the industry, they kept bumping up against the same problem: good, reliable talent is hard to find.

In the first part of this interview series, we're going to explore finding “10x” talent: what it means, how to hire it, and, most importantly, how to retain it.
