The Biggest Mistake People Make When Hiring | Solo #2 | Far From The Grey

What separates great employees from the ones who simply show up? And what does it actually mean to work hard? In this episode of Far From The Grey, we get into the principles of hiring great people, building a strong work ethic, and taking responsibility for the work in front of us. We discuss what to look for when hiring—from hunger and coachability to resourcefulness and emotional discipline—and why a person's attitude and willingness to learn can matter just as much as their experience. We also explore the growing temptation to choose comfort over discipline, the difference between being busy and being productive, and why doing hard things matters in business and life. Drawing on ideas around responsibility and personal development, we challenge the mindset that keeps people stuck and discuss what it takes to become someone others can depend on. In this episode, we discuss: • What to look for when hiring great people • Why hunger and coachability matter • How to recognize ownership and resourcefulness in an interview • The difference between working hard and just looking busy • Laziness, comfort, and the temptation to avoid responsibility • Why discipline matters even when you don't feel motivated • Taking responsibility and doing the work in front of you At Far From The Grey, we believe meaningful work, personal responsibility, and faith matter. Building a business is about more than making money—it's also about the kind of person you become along the way. 🎙️ Follow Far From The Grey for honest conversations about business, faith, freedom, entrepreneurship, and living with purpose. #JordanPeterson #Responsibility #Discipline #SelfImprovement #mindset
