Do you ever think about the importance of the types of people your company hires?
When hiring, many companies focus on the experience of their candidates. While this plays a large role, who a person is and their level of entrepreneurial talent could be even more important. 
Jason explains the nuances of hiring the right fit for your company, breaking down the distinction between generalists and specialists. He also shares how to get your company ahead by leveraging AI and developing relationships with your competitors. 
Jason Smith is a product driven, sales and marketing centric tech entrepreneur. He has been the cofounder, investor or early employee of 5 start-ups. He’s led sales, marketing, product and services teams, advised great companies like Mobify (acquired by Salesforce.com) and Strutta (acquired by LX Ventures) and received E&Y's Emerging Entrepreneur of the Year for the Pacific Region. He is currently the CEO and Cofounder of Klue, an AI-powered Competitive Enablement platform.
In episode #165, Jason shares his experiences as an entrepreneurial leader to help you delegate, hire and manage better.
