Day 3 of 14 at Launchpad. Yesterday I went fishing with Daymond John. We didn't catch any fish. But I came home with two ideas I'm now thinking about. 1/ Stay lean, even when you don't have to. Daymond is a multimillionaire, and he still keeps his company under 50 people. We made the same bet at Stan. We chose not to scale through headcount, and that's a big reason we passed $30M ARR in under 3 years. Headcount is a vanity metric. Your business grows with the quality of your team's ideas, not with the number of people in the room. 2/ Hire for raw talent, not résumés. Most of Daymond's team, senior people included, started as interns. His view is that an internship answers one question: can this person create value here? Business changes constantly, so people have to learn as they go. He values raw ability over credentials. We hire the same way. A good number of Stan's senior engineers joined us straight out of school. Years of experience don't prove talent. Ability does. First principles over checklists. What a day!
