Basically, he takes candidates out to breakfast and, on the sly, asks the server to intentionally mess up the candidate’s breakfast order so he can see how they respond. Oh, and he promises to leave a big gratuity for the server. On one hand, I get it.

Over the past few months, I’ve been talking with startups about their businesses. When I ask them to define their target customer, the responses I get are things like “everyone who needs training” or “everyone who uses the Internet.” I hate to be the contrarian, but everyone is not your customer.
