Other Quotes From the Chat with Beth Armknecht Miller:

Because we had a pretty open workplace so it would have been difficult to have discussions without other people noticing it. So we would say hey let’s put this in the parking lot and talk about this tonight”
- “hiring to values and using the behavioural interviewing process would probably be either be the one thing that would really have changed our success rate”
- “resiliency… Being able to adjust to change quickly. Having a good team or advisers around you who can ask you the stupid questions and get you to potentially slow a decision or change a decision based on the fact that you may have some biases that are holding you back from that ultimate excellent decision”
- “as an entrepreneur it isn’t easy and you will run into difficulties and you have to figure out how to get through them or around them”
