Elias Torres (@eliast), co-founder and CTO at Drift, joins Lucas Bagno for this episode, which was recorded as part of a special event for Villagers. They discussed:
- Why Elias is so grateful for the US and the differences he noticed when he came here from Nicaragua.
- How he has forged a great relationship with a co-founder who is the opposite of him in many ways.
- Why people should be taking more risks.
- Why they hired a recruiter as their first employee at Drift.
- Why they place less emphasis on resume and more on culture fit, as well as how to test for fit.
