“No one really has the authority to hire when you’re starting your business. Don’t see it in the perspective that “I don’t know how to hire” but think of it as more of like you are introducing yourself to a friend. I'm sure you're wise to choose a friend. You've been tested and you've learned already. It's just like that. You are choosing the right people that you can easily get along with, someone whom you can ask for favors and someone whom you can work with. Brian’s thoughts when asked how to hire people when you do not have the authority in hiring people
