03: Hiring generalists, building better teams, and building a startup home you want to live in

The Bold Founder

Hiring is one of the biggest determinants to your success in your business, but it's also one of the hardest things to do as a founder. To be frank it is actually a huge struggle I have in my own business, so I am excited to bring on the perfect expert to make hiring the right team easier and more streamlined for your business.
For today's episode we have on Shaina Anderson who has spent 15 years building startups. She is the founder and CEO of Hello Generalist, the startup community's home for part-time hiring. She also works as Chief of Staff at Nory AI, as a coach to startup Chief of Staffs and as a startup angel investor. Prior, she was Chief of Staff at Yelp for Restaurants and was an executive at Choose from its seed stage through series 2 acquisition where she led marketplace supply delivery operations and US market expansion.
In this episode we will cover:

• How to know when and who to hire for your company
• How to know when to fire someone on your team (and should you have already?)
• The difference between a specialist and a generalist and which is best for your team.
• Why Shaina believes windy career paths are better than straight forward career paths
