The Knowledge Project · Speed, Stress, and Better Decisions | Winston Weinberg · 12 May 2026 podcast

So one of the main things that I've found that's hard with hiring people is people think too many things are one-way doors.

Oh my, way too many things are one-way doors.

They just aren't.

And I think, again, this goes back to the stress or making mistakes.

You have to just make tons of mistakes with things that you think are one-way doors

to realize that not everything is a fricking one-way door, right?

I moved multiple high schools, right?

I guess technically one I got kicked out of.

But I moved multiple high schools.

It was not the end of the world.

Each time that happened, I was like, yeah, probably we're done, right?

And I remember I got really bad grades in high school and my life wasn't over.

And I think that there are just so many folks that have these such prestigious backgrounds and they've never gotten a B in their entire lives, like ever, probably, right?

And so they think everything is the end of the world, right?

And you can't hire people like that because they will break.

They will massively break because the reality is these companies are moving too fast.

The world is too tumultuous right now.

you're gonna lose like you're gonna lose so many times and you're gonna lose a bunch and you're gonna win a bunch and you have to have a tolerance for doing that or you're just gonna break no one at the company ever has been let go because they made too many mistakes it's never happened i've i have personally never done it i've never ever fired someone or anything like that because they made too many mistakes they always broke

And the thing that broke was they started to get decision paralysis.

They started not be able to scale.
