Sam Hinkie is someone I hold in very high regard. When someone like that leaves a place where he did such great work and can now talk about it… Listen to them.
Seriously, every podcast this man is on. Listen to it. I’ll link a couple of great ones below.
In this podcast, he talks about experience vs. expertise and where people miss the boat in hiring.
Experience in his words is, “how many times you’ve done a thing.”
Expertise is actually getting down the learning curve, solving problems, improving the process, etc.
The problem: We’re overvaluing experience because it’s safer to do that.
