Episode notes

Here’s a question that should make every tech CEO uncomfortable: What if the single biggest competitive advantage your company can build costs nothing and requires the opposite of what you’re currently doing? In this episode of the Signal to Noise Podcast, host Josh Narva is joined by Patrick Spence, former CEO of Sonos, for a masterclass in leadership, recruiting, and organizational clarity. Patrick shares battle-tested insights on hiring with intention, building trusted advisor relationships in recruiting, and why clarity fuels innovation.
