Hello, PodHunters! This was a fun interview for me - normally I get an hour to ask amazing CEO/Founders questions, but we had to record this episode in 30mins! 😬 Luckily, @lizwessel is super smart, on-point, and full of great insights and stories, so she rocked it and I love how much we covered. WayUp's mission and vision are already inspiring, but they don't stop there - listen to learn about teammates making a difference with causes beyond democratizing hiring. It's a great peek behind-the-scenes at what it's like to work at a 🚀 startup and full of ideas for leaders + managers, so please give it a listen and lmk what you think!
