Hiring the right people isn’t just about finding someone smart or a great team player. It’s about putting the right person in the right role. Too many businesses make the critical mistake of mixing creatives and operators, expecting them to thrive without a proper structure. That often leads to chaos.

So today, I sit down with messaging and leadership expert Yara Golden to unpack why marketing and operations teams often find themselves at odds and, more importantly, how to fix it. We dive into real-world examples of misalignment and how a lack of clear roles and expectations can lead to frustration.

We also explore how to set up iteration loops that allow creatives the freedom to experiment while giving operators the structure they need to keep projects on track. When these teams learn to work together, businesses don’t just grow—they scale with precision and efficiency.

Don’t let the wrong hires or poor management decisions hold your business back. Listen to the conversation and then download our free High-Performance Hiring Blueprint inside our Visionary Vault.
