Culture-Hacking with Daniella Mestyanek Young

Culture is What Happens Between the Spaces

Episode 11_ “Culture is What Happens Between All the Spaces”



We talk about the following:


Starting a business as a child


Teachable skills vs. desirable personality traits

Where the hiring process breaks down. Can we create a better system?

Creating an innovative video-interviewing platform that helps companies have a better idea who the candidate is before they walk in the door.

Biggest leadership mistake—trying to replicate yourself instead of tying other people into your team for their own talents and skills and personality.


Great Quotes: “Culture is what happens in between all the spaces”

“Life is a wide-open canvas and you can literally create whatever you want”


Matt’s #1 Culture-Hack: Find that open canvas and if you're a leader, help others create it. If you're somebody who's not sure if you're a leader yet, go create it yourself and you'll have other people who want to join and who love it.
