New Erupt Podcast Episode Live 🎙️🚨

As an early-stage founder, knowing when you're being spread too thin and need to hand tasks/ projects over to another person can be hard to come to terms with.

Which is why when you do hand those tasks over to another person, they not only have the skills to complete the job to a high standard, but that they also share your business vision to execute them in line with where you want to head.

Angeley Mullins, CMO & CCO, recently sat down with Tom Walsh, Executive Search Manager at Annapurna, to open up the discussion on when the right time is for early-stage founders to hire a CMO/ CCO, as well as what to look out for in your first hires beyond talent in isolation.

If you're an aspiring founder, current early-stage founder, or even an established organisation founder who's struggling to build cohesive and talented teams to scale successfully, this episode is for you.
