What's one interview question you ask every prospective employee?

0:00:05.073,0:00:07.472
I'm fortunate that a bunch of my founding team

0:00:07.472,0:00:08.846
is still with me,

0:00:08.846,0:00:12.025
and we were friends off the bat

0:00:12.025,0:00:14.625
so we can be very comfortable with each other.

0:00:14.625,0:00:17.879
So, I'd say the first question I ask is actually,

0:00:17.879,0:00:20.429
"Tell me your story."

0:00:20.429,0:00:21.892
It may seem pretty simple,

0:00:21.892,0:00:23.431
but really what I'm looking for

0:00:23.431,0:00:25.534
is creativity,

0:00:25.534,0:00:26.704
honesty,

0:00:26.704,0:00:28.937
and probably the most important characteristic

0:00:28.937,0:00:30.522
that no one ever talks about

0:00:30.522,0:00:32.302
is sense of humor.

0:00:32.302,0:00:34.867
If you can't roll with my existing team

0:00:34.867,0:00:36.112
and laugh at the same jokes as us

0:00:36.112,0:00:38.049
and get done at the same pace as us,

0:00:38.049,0:00:40.782
then you can't contribute to the team,

0:00:40.782,0:00:44.024
and that would be horrible for you.

0:00:44.024,0:00:45.348
You don't want to be in an environment

0:00:45.348,0:00:46.602
where you don't really feel

0:00:46.602,0:00:48.492
like you're part of the family.

0:00:48.492,0:00:49.942
So, I'd start from there.

0:00:49.942,0:00:50.597
What's your story?

0:00:50.597,0:00:52.347
Who are you?
