Send us a text

Let’s be real—hiring the right people can make or break your company. Get it right, and you’ve got a rocket ship. Get it wrong, and you’re burning time, money, and energy you can’t get back.

In this episode of Mork Unfiltered, I sit down with Alfredo Vaamonde, a three-time founder and co-founder of Papa (the health-tech unicorn tackling loneliness), to talk about his latest venture: Mission Hires.

Alfredo’s company is rewriting the rules of recruiting using AI to match companies and nonprofits with talent that truly aligns with their mission and values—not just candidates chasing the next shiny startup.

We get into:

• Why most hiring processes are broken and what it’s costing companies
• How AI is transforming the way we find, screen, and engage top talent
• Why mission-driven hiring is the key to resilience and retention
• Alfredo’s personal journey as a founder—from Venezuela to scaling a unicorn
• The loneliness of entrepreneurship, and how to cope when the grind gets real

Whether you’re a founder scaling your team, a leader trying to find better hires, or a candidate frustrated by today’s broken recruiting process, this episode is going to change the way you think about hiring.

If this episode moved you or gave you a different lens on adversity and growth, I want to invite you to go deeper.

I wrote Step Back and Leap for people exactly like us. People building through chaos. People trying to find meaning inside uncertainty. People choosing purpose over comfort. You can get it here:

And if you want practical tools you can use today to strengthen your resilience, I created a short, tactical guide you can download immediately. It’s called The Mork Guide to Resilience and it is designed to help you build inner strength, recover faster, and lead from a grounded place:

Because sometimes the most powerful leaps forward start with stepping back, grounding yourself, and reconnecting to why you are here in the first place.
