🧽 Your Next Hire Should Know How to Mop

Founders don’t have a hiring problem. They have a humility problem.

The kind that shows up when they decide they’ve “earned” a C-suite.

So they skip the dirty work.

And they hire someone who skips it too.

Every founder I know has done it.

You think you need the big “C”…

But your CRM is broken, your onboarding sucks, and no one knows who’s fixing the broken Zap that nuked 3 leads last week.

You bring on someone with a six-figure burn rate and a résumé that makes your investors nod.

Three weeks in, they’ve scheduled a strategy off-site…

…and nothing’s been fixed.

Meanwhile, your $55k ops coordinator rewrote your onboarding flow, fixed billing bugs, and handled support escalations without a Slack message.

You don’t need someone in the C suite.

You need more people who are happy to get dirty.

🎥 What to Watch

So who should you hire next?

✅ The one who updates the broken CRM before you ask.
✅ The one who moves fast, gets dirty, and loops you in after it’s solved.
✅ The one who doesn’t need a job title to take ownership.

Bottom Line

Hire the janitor before you hire the COO.

Because right now?

A $55k executor will outrun your $200k PowerPoint general.

Every damn time.
