Episode: I Hired the Wrong CTO Twice — Here’s What Saved the Company | #1355
Description: Startup journeys are rarely clean. In this episode, Brandon shares the behind-the-scenes story of hiring the wrong CTO twice, discovering betrayal at the worst possible moment, and betting everything on a third leader with a 90-day rebuild plan.
You’ll hear how Seamless survived by moving 1,000 paying customers to manual services just to stay alive, why leadership resilience matters more than perfect hiring, and the real lesson: mistakes are inevitable — survival and courage are optional.
This episode is about grit, trust, and the moments that determine whether your company dies… or scales.
