Grace and Ben give a warm welcome to Daniel Barber! Daniel has a wealth of tech leadership experience and is currently the CEO & Co-founder at DataGrail. A few years back, he wrote a piece for Salesforce entitled "What I’ve Learned from Interviewing 1,000 People." This article captivated us, and we wanted him on the show! Daniel did not disappoint, chatting about:

  • How the most successful people have deep passion for the mission—and how to discern if candidates have it
  • The importance of building diverse teams—and the dangers of pattern-matching against your own biases.
  • The value of being in person for interviews
  • How to build a "winning team" and look for value alignment, not "culture fit"
  • And of course, don't forget the speed round...are centipedes proof of aliens?!
