 “If you’re thinking you’re going to hire in the in the future and in general, it makes you more organized to create system for everything. I think that’s one of the things that we’ve done a really good job with over at Till, not suggest we haven’t done a good job with it over at DK, but we have the benefit of all the lessons learned. It’s that we have standard operating procedures for a lot of our different systems and we’ve had a lot of canned emails that we’ve had from the start and that makes it really easy; one, to make sure that you’re on-boarding people in a uniform way and everybody sees the same sort of expectations that they need to see. And two, that people understand exactly what’s expected of them”

Introduction

Krista is back on the podcast and this week we’re chatting about what we’ve learned over the past few years about building team. Everything from the fears we had before hiring our first team members to why we decided to primarily hire employees instead of contractors and some tips that we have for the hiring process. We hope that you find these reflections helpful especially if you’re considering starting to grow a team yourself.

    After building a successful photography business and launching the Rising Tide Society, one of the largest communities for creatives in the world, we decided to make helping creatives build brands that book our full-time gig. 

    We believe in chasing hard after an intentional life—one that includes fulfilling work, palm trees and blue skies, time with our sons Jack & Bennett, and—of course—wine and pizza.

    We’re here to help you as you build a brand that books so you can chase after the life you want.

    we're Davey & Krista
