You are at the point in your business where the company is ready to hire the first person to head up a department (i.e.: sales, marketing, engineering). You are excited and terrified at the same time. You're thinking “I have to get this right”... and you are right, you do! How do you evaluate a person with an area of expertise that you are NOT familiar with? The answer, my friends, is being prepared, digging deep and really listening! Step outside of your first impression and be aware of your tendency of confirmation bias. Shift your focus on gathering concrete evidence and the outcome will be the correct decision every time. Our guest today: Liam Rose, Founder of Catalina Seven Ventures. Liam is the founder of Catalina Seven Ventures, a Southern California consumer software startup. Before forming C7V, he managed the sales team for an Orange County-based entertainment startup.
