I wrote a post highlighting 10 of the most common hiring mistakes early stage founders make: https://t.co/MnWa69OdKj

[Aurora Harshner @aharshner]

One of these mistakes is underestimating how much time and work recruiting will take – it might seem like a straight-forward skill, but you’ll be hard pressed to find and attract good candidates if you don’t take it seriously.

[Aurora Harshner @aharshner]

A recruiter should be among your first 10 hires. This may seem counterintuitive — if founders are pressed for time and need the right technical talent right away, shouldn’t other hires take precedence? Far from it. Here’s why: https://t.co/zIDEm8NDPS

Mahalo to @Oprah for driving fundraising dollars to the grassroots orgs on Maui that are leading the relief efforts! You are a blessing to the community!

[Aurora Harshner @aharshner]

I'm from Maui, my friend is a midwife on island and is organizing a relief effort through the Pacific Birth Collective. Help is urgently needed, if you can donate in any way, please do through their website. https://t.co/XIaaTXgPYn

After months of trying to engage with the @SECGov on our planned Coinbase Lend product, we recently received notice that it intends to pursue legal action against us. We believe dialogue is at the heart of good regulation, even if the SEC may not. https://t.co/OumvyTPQdj

What if the most important question is how to be kind (to others and to yourself) more consistently?

This is among the best things you can read in 10 minutes. Your top regrets will likely be failures of kindness

Some exciting news… Aloha Hawaii! We’re so excited to finally be able to serve clients in the great state of Hawaii, making @RiverFinancial one of the few #Bitcoin companies to be able to do this!

A little bit about how we were able to make this happen…

[Aurora Harshner @aharshner]

@AndrewBenson @RiverFinancial Amazing! Finally Hawai'i is getting access to crypto action. My friends and family will be thrilled.

Useful inversion for hiring decisions: “this person passes the bar” vs “I would be deeply disappointed if this person didn’t join”
