Hey, know anyone who hired their buddy to do pack design or social media marketing? Yeah, of course, you do. In <a href='https://www.premiumgrowthsolutions.com/podcast'>my latest podcast episode</a>, I share some sociological reasons founders of early-stage brands don&apos;t want to hire &apos;friends&apos; as service providers. If you&apos;re an investor, take note as you advise your portfolio brands. This selection behavior is super common in the U.S. because, as a culture, we seem to place irrational levels of trust in our thin friendships. It would take a whole book to explain why.
