Why Skills Come Second ft Arjun Vaidya
EPISODE NOTES
Skills can be taught. Values can’t. Arjun Vaidya explains a lesson most founders learn the hard way. In the early days, they didn’t hire for perfect resumes or polished skill sets. They hired for cultural fit. Startups aren’t built by people who know everything on Day 1. They’re built by people who are willing to learn together. Here’s the founder takeaway hiding in this story: 🔺 Hire for values before skills 🔺 Learning speed beats prior experience 🔺 Cultural alignment creates compounding teams 🔺 Skills change, ethos doesn’t 🔺 The right people grow with the business If you wait to hire only “ready-made” talent, you’ll wait forever. If you hire learners with the right values, you’ll build faster than you imagined. 👉 Subscribe for more founder insights: https://yt.openinapp.co/zwu…
