Well this certainly changes a lot through the various stages we’ve experienced so far (and I’m sure continues to do so). I think the best answer is optimizing around the things you’re best at, and hiring people that are great at the things you are not. In reality there are some commons themes between how my day is spent, it’s typically a split between recruitment (significant %), strategy, and being in tune / supporting the core priorities we have as a business at any given time. Some of the most effective time spent is really trying to diagnose and unblock anything that is slowing us down. --- _[View the full topic](https://gorelay.co/t/i-m-rich-waldron-founder-and-ceo-of-tray-io-ama/687)._
