Hiring the Right Team with Kacia Ghetmiri

Kacia Ghetmiri joins me for this impactful episode filled with practical takeaways! Kacia is a multi-passionate entrepreneur, speaker, podcaster, real estate investor & event host. Her high vibe energy, transparency and “Come with me, let’s figure it out together” approach to life and business has led her to cultivate an engaged community of women!

But that's not all! Her background in recruiting and wealth of experience leading her own team gives her great insights that can help you navigate so many common hiring and leadership situations!


One of the things Kacia stresses, is the importance of hiring a lean team with an entrepreneurial mindset. These are people who are passionate about your mission and willing to take risks and try new things. We also chat about the importance of setting boundaries between work relationships and friendships. It can be tough to balance both, especially when you work with your friends, and Kacia knows just what to do!


We're also diving into weakness and how our perceptions can affect our business. Just because you're not good at something doesn't mean you can't be successful. You can choose to focus on your strengths and what lights you up! From there, you can work to build amazing connections with your customers. Our conversation touches on how you can use social media to promote authenticity and transparency to build community. There are SO many layers to this conversation with Kacia so grab your headphones, and tune in for all of the details!

Jackie Koch

Hey, I’m Jackie Koch. I have over 15 years of experience prospecting talent and building teams for Fortune 500 companies, startups and small businesses in all types of industries.  Technically, I have an MBA from Concordia University, although I’d argue I learned more about growing and scaling a modern business over the last 5 years in the LA tech start up scene. There I built out recruiting and People Operations teams for high growth tech start ups. I love entrepreneurs and being one at heart, I started my own business during the pandemic. I’m the founder and CEO of People Principles where I help founders scale through fractional recruiting and people operations services.
