In this episode of Founder Unfiltered, I talk about the most expensive mistake I made during my first startup—trusting the wrong people and hiring too fast.
From vague job descriptions and poor vetting to network-based hiring without alignment, I walk through how team-building backfired—and how going solo forced me to grow sharper, clearer, and far more intentional.
I’ll share real stats, honest stories, and what changed when I finally said: “Let me do this myself for a while.”
If you’ve ever hired for the wrong reasons, felt betrayed by early collaborators, or been afraid to work alone—this one’s for you.
