QUOTES
Hunter: "It's okay to not be great from day one. You're gonna shine in this area, or maybe this other person doesn't shine. I need a well-rounded team so you go shine in the areas where you're good. The other things will come and you don't need to worry about the imposter syndrome."
Hunter: "Acknowledge the elephant in the room. Real or fabricated or whatever, it's important that you don't know it all, all of the time otherwise you stop learning. If you are the smartest person in the room, you should probably check yourself."
Hunter: "If you don't let people jump off a cliff and fail, they won't learn anything. If they are already doing the job, they're ready for the next job, not the job that they're already doing."
Hunter: "It all starts with hiring. If you hire the wrong people for what you're looking for, then you can't make someone who doesn't have that mindset into someone who has that mindset. It's one of those intangibles that you either have or don't."
Hunter: "My value is building. Give me a project, give me a problem, and tell me to go figure it out, and I will do it 9 times out of 10. Probably not every time. But I need problems because I really like solving them and I get great satisfaction from that."
