Daniel Struna

Hiring is one of the hardest parts of law firm growth, and this episode breaks down why. Kevin Daisey and Daniel Struna of Atticus get real about the tension between urgency and intentional hiring.

Daniel shares why so many firms wait too long to hire, then end up making rushed decisions under pressure. He introduces the “humble, hungry, and people smart” framework and explains how culture, core values, and fit should lead every staffing decision.

In this episode you’ll learn:

• Why “hell yes or no” is a useful hiring rule
• How humble, hungry, and people smart predicts team success
• Why hiring under duress leads to bad decisions
• When to hire before you think you need to
• How culture creates a bench of future candidates

This conversation is especially valuable for managing partners and firm owners trying to scale without breaking their team or their standards. If staffing has been messy, this episode gives you a clearer way to think about it.
