[44] LoRen gReiFf: "People hire people. They do not hire resumes."

The Entrepreneur Next Door 🏡

Loren Greiff (who purposely plays with how her name is displayed) is a super successful executive career coach. I invited her to the podcast because the key to success in building and growing a business is hiring the right talent.
Loren is a self-declared "Idiot Savant" with a talent to visualize, "I treat life like a pallet." And she gives kudos to Grandma, who Loren calls "the bad-ass in the family."
Loren attributes her success to the smart strategic move she made to "Learn from the Masters." and sharpen her tools - I wanted to learn 10" deep, not 1" ten times."
Join me for this fun rollercoaster interview, learn the behind-the-scenes of recruiting and the following additional insights:

• Why Loren decided to be an English Literature major (not what you think of when you're visually creative.)
• Why Loren decides to take on business as a discipline
• How did Loren get into a top-tier advertising agency with a degree from a small but unfamous college?
• What prompted Loren to pivot in her pursuit of achieving balance?
• Why is Loren messing with the spelling of her name?
• What is an "excuse exterminator?"
• Why are people stuck in jobs they don't like? It results from the perception that looking for a job is long, hard, and generally sucks.
• Why hitting the Apply Now button is soothing but very deceiving.
• What is the easiest way to separate (candidates) fakers from the real deal?
• "I don't care about your resume. I know how to read."
• "Different is better than better."
• What role is AI going to play in the hiring process?
• The one song Loren admits to singing in the shower.
