Before You Hire Again, Do This 5-Minute Self-Discovery Exercise

Hiring the wrong person is expensive. But hiring without knowing who you are? Even worse. In this episode, Dan Rochon helps you uncover your values, beliefs, and the culture you want to create—so you can build a business where the right people stick, and the wrong ones never enter. You’ll hear stories, aha moments, and a breakdown of why treating others the way you want to be treated is more than a golden rule—it’s the culture-building secret most entrepreneurs miss.

What you’ll learn on this episode

• Culture = how people treat each other. Define that intentionally.
• You must first understand how you like to be treated before building your team.
• Values like respect, self-starting, problem-solving, and growth set the tone for the business.
• You attract people who align with your beliefs—whether consciously or not.
• Before hiring, clarify your vision, mission, values, and personal leadership standards.
• Fairness and competence are non-negotiables for effective leadership.
• Leading by example (not just instruction) builds credibility and trust.
• The difference between values (what you prioritize) and beliefs (what you know is true).
