Don’t Hire Your Friends Until You Watch This

Описание: In this episode, I open up about one of the biggest leadership traps I’ve seen (and experienced) firsthand: hiring your friends. It might seem like a great idea early on, especially in a startup, but more often than not, it ends in broken trust and lost relationships.

I talk about how familiarity breeds contempt, why the shift in power dynamics can ruin a friendship, and the real cost of choosing comfort over clarity in your business. I’d rather protect the relationship than risk it for a role and I explain exactly why.

But that’s not all we cover.

We also dive into:

How to handle competition in a Christlike way

Why you need to protect what God has entrusted to you—your “castle”

What to do when employees start relationships with each other

The biblical take on partiality in business vs. in church

Why I avoid sharing the Gospel with people who have no desire for it

And how I think about friends as investors vs. partners

If you’re a Christian leader or entrepreneur navigating team building, competition, or faith in the workplace—this episode will challenge you to lead with wisdom, conviction, and discernment.
