- Henry Kirk: The Realities of Running a Startup! 🚀
Today, I talk about Startups and Life as an Entrepreneur with Henry Kirk . Henry has the unique experience of working at large companies, working at his own startups, and jumping between them a few times. Today, he is the cofounder of Studio.init() which he started with a bunch of his colleagues from his time at Google.
Over the next hour, we have a wide-ranging conversation on a variety of topics such as the general day-to-day of running a startup, wearing multiple hats, how to hire talented people in a world where the candidates are always an AI assistant away from having a perfect answer, how to work effectively with multiple cofounders, and a whole lot more.
