  • 014 How do we streamline onboarding?
    You hired your new software engineer because you need them - right now. Far too much of a new hire's time when they first come on is spent repeating the same onerous tasks and asking the same repetitive questions, looking for answers in out-of-date documents, and learning how to integrate with the team. That translates to time lost - and money lost - for your business. Jayme Rabenberg joins Brett Kistler on Founder Vision to discuss how she and the team at Edify are using learning science and engineering best practices to remove the friction in onboarding so your new hire can focus on doing their best work from day one.

  • 013 How can we structure our business to bring out the best in our team?
    Companies spend a lot of time and effort recruiting, hiring, and training professionals. So why is it that traditional employment structures then turn around and hobble those professionals by being paternalistic, opaque, and controlling? Gareth Jones and his team at Headstart.io have a simple philosophy when it comes to team management: build a team of adults, create a culture of transparency, and trust your people. He joins Brett Kistler on Founder Vision to share the management style that has allowed Headstart to weather the turmoil of COVID-19 and build a fascinating tool that leverages data science to help businesses break free from implicit bias in the recruiting process.

  • 010 How can we communicate more effectively?

    This episode is all about communication. Ben Whately from Memrise joins Brett Kistler to discuss how his team built Memrise to utilize principles of human psychology rooted in science rather than strict pedagogy. He digs into the nuance of how humans naturally learn language and how, leveraging this understanding, Memrise has been able to help upwards of 59 million users from 189 countries learn to speak more than 23 different languages. In the >10 years Ben has been building Memrise, he has learned a lot. In our conversation, Ben shares some of those lessons, including how reassessing his own communication skills helped him to connect with his team and empower them to drive the mission forward together.

  • 006 How can we scale effectively?

    As a business scales and grows its internal process, connecting the right expert with the customer can be a challenge. As a product expands to serve a larger market, the professional services team has to scale alongside it to support it. Businesses may find themselves growing their professional services teams one to one with every new feature of the product. Tech companies don't generally want or need such a large professional service team. Xander explains how businesses can expand into the market without minimizing the number of features of their product.
