@aarongolub, entrepreneur and the first legally blind Division I football player, has a clear take on hiring family and friends.
People hear how Aaron and his sister work together and assume it’s a good idea. He disagrees. Their relationship works because of a very specific history and a unique way they learned to operate as a team.
His rule is simple... in most cases, don’t hire friends or family unless it’s a truly specific circumstance, because if it goes sideways, you don’t just lose the work. You can lose the relationship.
Would you rather protect the relationship… or risk it for the role?
