## Resource

Hiring the right people isn’t about finding the perfect resume—it’s about first understanding yourself as a leader. In this episode, Dan Rochon breaks down the real reason most entrepreneurs struggle with hiring. Many leaders focus on who they want to hire before they fully understand their own strengths, weaknesses, and leadership vision. Dan shares a powerful perspective: great hiring starts with self-awareness. When you know your superpowers and your gaps, you can build a team that complements your weaknesses instead of duplicating them. You’ll also hear Dan’s honest insight into the hiring process—including why his success rate is far lower than most leaders expect, why the first 90 days are still part of the interview, and how finding the right person can lead to partnerships that last for years. If you’re a salesperson, entrepreneur, or business leader trying to build a strong team, this episode will change the way you think about hiring forever.
