Want to build a world-class startup? Hire for consistency... Lloyed Lobo said something in our conversation that stuck with me: 👉 Overnight success is nothing but compound interest on consistency. It’s easy to get caught up in the idea of “game-changer” hires—the ones who come in with flashy resumes, big ideas, and bold claims. But the people who truly drive a team's success? They show up every single day and put in the reps. The best engineers are consistent problem solvers, and always working on their craft. The best sales leader is the the one who talks to customers daily. The best marketing hire isn’t just creative—it’s the one who executes relentlessly. At StackedSP, we work with venture-backed startups who are scaling fast. And one of the most common talent mistakes I see? Chasing potential over proven consistency. Hire people who push forward every day—who turn small actions into massive outcomes.

“If you’re not pushing back on me, I’m worried.” Ali Khokhar, CEO of Amigo.ai, dropped this on the podcast, and it’s one every founder and hiring manager should take to heart. Great talent doesn’t just take orders. They challenge you, push back, and hold their ground—backed by logic, data, and deep expertise. Ali shared how he actively encourages this dynamic at Amigo. Why? Because the best outcomes come from positive friction, not blind agreement. This is the kind of team culture that builds game-changing companies.

If you’re a founder, a leader, or someone building a team—this one’s for you. 🎧 Listen to the full episode here: https://lnkd.in/gR_Wtu7v

Are you surrounding yourself with nice people or good people? Lloyed Lobo shared a powerful distinction in our recent conversation on the Unstacked Startups podcast: 👉 Nice people will say what you want to hear. They’ll validate you, comfort you, and avoid difficult conversations—sometimes at the cost of your own growth. 👉 Good people will tell you the truth, even when it’s uncomfortable. They’ll challenge your assumptions, push you to think deeper, and ultimately help you make better decisions. It made me think: How often do we seek validation over real feedback? Are the people around us energizing us and propelling us forward? Or are they just telling us what’s easy to hear? Building something meaningful—whether it’s a startup, a career, etc—requires surrounding yourself with high-vibe, high-velocity people who push you to be better. Watch this short clip where Lloyed breaks it down. It’s worth the 30 seconds. 👇 Would love to hear your thoughts: Who are the "good people" in your life that have challenged you in a way that led to real growth? Drop a comment.
