I definitely have that. I've found the person when I thought there was no one enough times that I'm always like, I have hope. I could go through so many examples of like, are you kidding me? This person exists and they're that obsessed with this crazy thing.

And then I think one key thing that people miss on hiring is you need to understand why it makes sense for the candidate, why the candidate should choose this container and this setup and be rating it like 100 out of 100 if possible. Realistically, it won't be that. I see people make a mistake. It's like I'm hiring. It's like a left hemisphere approach.

It's like I'm hiring this person to do this thing. It's like they're treating it as a machine. But it's so much more complicated than that. If you want the person to thrive and have the energy and then be rooting for them, you need to understand why, from their perspective, this is the right thing for them at this stage of their life with this set of skills.

If you understand that, then it gives the stability to the whole thing.

One aspect is that I have that analogy of a river with two banks. One is order and the other is chaos. And you kind of start off your career closer to order. And sometimes you swim closer to chaos over time. It's like a developmentally appropriate approach.

of being an intern and learning a craft and apprenticing and all that stuff where you're not really often that in touch with what you actually want. You're just playing the game the way other people have defined it. And I feel like if you're talking to a 22-year-old, they have been on the playing field less time, and so they don't know what they actually want.

They're socialized in Keegan's language. There are all these things they're subject to that they can't see. And so partly the hero's journey, or pick your metaphor, is about listening to what the world wants from you and what you actually want, and then looking for that intersection. So the questions I ask sometimes, what are you compulsive about?

I noticed it for myself, like I could surf LinkedIn. I don't know what my appetite would be. I could probably do it for three or four hours, which is like, I don't think I've ever surfed LinkedIn. Boring. For most people, it would be very boring. And so I like looking at their picture. I feel like someone's self-selected photo is so crazily high signal.

If somebody chose that photo to represent themselves, they are saying there's something of my essence that I want to have be my essence that's in this photo. And then matching it up with my impression of what life has done to them, what they've done to life in the photo, and then matching against the resume, I can literally do that.

What's the thing you do that other people kind of make fun of you for? I feel a little embarrassed that I can do that somehow. It feels like weirdly tactical and kind of boring. But... On some level, I just enjoy seeing that dance of what somebody wanted and then what the world wanted from them.
