7 Sep 2025 / Ep. 44 / 45:32

Until AI replaces the need for humans completely, building a team remains a crucial part of building a startup, and the need for other humans to help get things off the ground often comes before the budget to hire them, so some clever thinking is required. Megan Luttrell – founder of Kairos Recruitment and Aussie Founders Club – joins Scotty this week for a conversation to work out what’s smart, and what’s not, when it comes to startup recruitment.

The Bootstrap unpacks strategies that any founder can apply to make smart, data-informed decisions as they navigate the early stages of building a startup. We focus on helping founders avoid the common pitfalls that stop many great ideas from becoming a reality.

Each episode, we start with one or two news items that bootstrapping founders need to know, and then host Scotty Allen (Founder of The Product Bus) is joined by a guest who brings their experience and subject matter to a specific topic with practical, actionable strategies that founders can take away and apply immediately to their own business.
