And also yell at me if I haven't set up a Shopify store soon, please.

I need your help.

This show is also brought to you by Indeed, a hiring website.

I've used them many times for the many hiring efforts I've done for the teams I've led in the past.

I've recently actually had to write a few recommendation letters for people who I've worked with in the past.

And...

I really enjoy doing that because it reminds me how awesome the people are.

It kind of takes me back to those times.

And those months, those years that you get to spend together on a difficult problem, you get to solve it together.

The camaraderie of that, the struggles of that, the passions of that.

The ups and downs where you're really hopeful one day and then there's all these problems and you think the ideas you were doing are totally stupid and it's not going to work out and you kind of like can't quite figure out the puzzle of it and you might have to start over completely.

You have to backtrack, all of that.

The full mess of that and you get to share in that together.

And ultimately, at least for the things I've worked on, there's a mission, there's a dream to understand something deeply or to help a large number of people.

And that just gives the whole journey of struggle together meaning.

I mention that because the process of building up a team, the process of hiring a team, is so important.

Because a great team is so important.

Not just the success of the company, or a research group, or anything you're doing, relationships.

It's also just a source of happiness.

So use the best tools for the job of building the team.
