In this "Lessons" episode, David Fink, Co-Founder & CEO of Postie, challenges the conventional wisdom on experience in a category. He dives deep into the importance of finding the right balance between fresh perspectives and domain expertise when building a team for success.

Experience - A Double-Edged Sword: Experience can be both a benefit and a drawback. Deep knowledge can lead to incremental thinking, while outsiders might lack the industry know-how.

The Ideal Team Blend: The perfect team combines both. Disrupters challenge assumptions, while experts ensure smooth operations and provide vital knowledge.

Building Your Dream Team: The key is finding the right balance. A team with creative thinkers, industry veterans, and those who bridge the gap is the recipe for success. This blend fosters a culture of innovation grounded in practical industry knowledge.
