Throughout the conversation, Paul and Sam discuss how to identify Simplifiers, the challenges of being a Simplifier (and what makes them truly special), and effective interview techniques to find candidates who embody this mindset. Paul dives into the nuances of hiring, focusing on the importance of enthusiasm, the right metrics for assessing business health, and the balance between micromanagement and excellence.
We're not exaggerating when we say this is an episode that had both our audio and video editors picking up their pens to take notes. So don't be a Complicator — just give it a listen.
