How to Stop Making Bad Hires with Ryan Hogan

from PodCrash with Matt Ebert · host Matt Ebert

In this episode of PodCrash, Matt Ebert sits down with entrepreneur and Navy officer Ryan Hogan for a conversation about failure, leadership, hiring, and what it really takes to build something that works. Ryan shares how a rough start, a blown engine, and a push from his mom led him into the Navy, where he learned the discipline and focus that later shaped his career as an entrepreneur. He talks through the rise and fall of Run For Your Lives, what went wrong when the business took off too fast, and how those lessons helped him build Hunt A Killer into a $55 million company. They also get into product-market fit, why most companies misunderstand hiring, the value of peer groups and coaching, and why the right systems matter once a business starts to grow.
