But no one breaks the mold quite like this week\u2019s guest, Isaiah Granet, the co-founder and CEO of Bland. The voice AI startup has been growing at breakneck speed, but the founding team has taken its time to prioritize passion over pedigree and find its members in places many might not think to look.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this episode, Isabelle Johannessen and Isaiah Granet unpack a radically different approach to hiring that prioritizes aligned work ethic, curiosity, and flexibility rather than r\u00e9sum\u00e9s and connections.
