Today, I live in suburban, Dallas and run multiple 7 and 8 figure businesses. I'm here to tell you – what I have done, you can do. The purpose of my podcast is to motivate you to take ownership of your life, to show you how to operate on elite levels in business and life, and to embrace the mindset that you can overcome anything that stands in your way. It's time to go after what you want - and get it.","last_synced_at":"2026-06-21T12:19:51.410068+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111"},"episode":{"title":"The Hiring Lesson I Stole from Elon Musk - EP 272","slug":"the-hiring-lesson-i-stole-from-elon-musk-ep-272","published_at":"2026-03-11T12:03:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111/the-hiring-lesson-i-stole-from-elon-musk-ep-272","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-spinoso-podcast-7093111","url":"https://648583cc-05c1-41aa-a743-9eb841878b37.libsyn.com/the-hiring-lesson-i-stole-from-elon-musk-ep-272","audio_url":"https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/648583cc-05c1-41aa-a743-9eb841878b37/ALEX_10_Audioo.mp3?dest-id=4100751","summary":"Everyone loves to talk about remote work, hybrid teams, and the \"future of hiring.\" But most of that conversation is disconnected from reality. In this episode, I break down what hiring actually looks like in 2026, from building remote executive teams to why most people simply can't work effectively from home. We also discuss the powerful interview question used by Elon Musk to expose whether a candidate actually solved a real problem or is just repeating something from their résumé. The truth is, the companies that win aren't hiring based on prestige, degrees, or impressive job titles. They're hiring based on skill, accountability, and whether someone can actually solve problems. I explain why skill-based hiring is replacing résumé-based hiring and how businesses should evaluate character traits like humility, grit, and the willingness to learn. We also talk about the one asset that is becoming more valuable as AI expands: human skills. Emotional intelligence, communication, presence, and the ability to read people are now premium currency in business. If you want to scale a company, build strong teams, and hire people who actually move the business forward, this episode breaks down what matters and what most companies are still getting completely wrong.","meta_description":"Everyone loves to talk about remote work, hybrid teams, and the \"future of hiring.\" But most of that conversation is disconnected from reality.
