We’re talking about what you should actually be looking for in an interview—so you stop hiring based on “good conversations” and start hiring based on clarity, proof, and long-term fit.
If you’re not clear on what you’re trying to reveal, you end up asking surface-level questions, hearing “good answers,” and then discovering the truth after the hire. In this episode, we break down the simple framework that makes interviewing more objective and repeatable: capacity, character, and evidence.

Episode Highlights

• Why “good answers” don’t always reveal the real person
• The 80/20 problem in most interviews (and how to flip it)
• The 3 things every interview must reveal: Capacity, Character, Evidence
• How to assess capacity through abilities, potential, and bandwidth
• Why “good character” isn’t specific enough—and how to define your company’s character criteria
• Why you should never ask hypothetical questions (“what if” vs “what is”)
• How personal-life patterns often mirror work patterns (and what that reveals)
