About this listen
Casting Not Hiring reimagines entrepreneurship as a dynamic theatrical performance, guiding business leaders to build high-energy teams by casting the right talent, setting clear expectations, and ensuring new hires thrive from day one.
In Casting Not Hiring, Dan Sullivan redefines the way entrepreneurs build teams, arguing that a thriving business is more like a high-energy theater production than a traditional corporate structure. Rather than simply filling job positions, business leaders should focus on casting the right talent in roles that align with their strengths, ensuring a powerful and cohesive performance. Sullivan introduces his 4x4 tool, a proven framework that helps entrepreneurs attract the right people, set clear expectations, and provide new hires with a roadmap for success. By identifying and communicating deal breakers upfront, companies can create a culture of alignment and excellence from day one.
This book builds on the core teachings Dan has shared with clients for over a decade, and it marks an evolution in his approach, as Strategic Coach has refined the Casting Not Hiring process through real-world testing. For the first time, Dan collaborates with Jeffery Madoff, an acclaimed creative director and author, whose background in branding and storytelling adds a fresh dimension to the book. With insights drawn from both business strategy and the creative arts, Casting Not Hiring provides entrepreneurs with a practical, tested system for assembling teams that drive innovation, engagement, and long-term success. Whether you're scaling your business or refining your hiring approach, this book will transform the way you think about talent, teamwork, and leadership.

Story
Most people’s notion about how long they’re going to live is an oppressive thought. They feel confined by a certain number of years, an age expectation based on family history and averages. But what if you could extend your lifetime? How would adding extra years impact the way you live now? Dan Sullivan's goal of living to 156 may sound outrageous at the outset. But you’ll soon find that the imagination can have a huge impact on your behavior, and a simple mindset shift can literally change every thought you think.

Most people’s thinking ability is limited. But there’s a dimension of thinking called Thinking About Your Thinking where you step back and observe your own mind. It’s a subtle mental shift that creates a massive change in perception and possibilities — a shift that Dan Sullivan discovered early in life, which went on to become the basis for every concept and tool in The Strategic Coach® Program.

Story
Every day, there are multiple things vying for our attention - people, businesses, technologies, apps. But many of us don’t realize that our attention is our property. It belongs to us just like any other resource we own. And when we choose what we give our attention to, we can focus fully on our own purpose and on what’s best for us. When you take a step back and think about your thinking, you can take control of your attention, as well as your time and your purpose, rather than allowing others to be in control. It’s up to you.

Story
Most entrepreneurs are fixated on their competition and on external conditions they can’t control. To them, cash flow is a constant source of worry. What they don’t realize is that their success isn’t actually about them at all. It’s about who they can create value for and what those people aspire to. Entrepreneurs who know exactly how they create value can cross over a line where cash flow becomes certain and the model they’ve created continually improves. Once you reach this point, you become totally confident that your cash flow will always be predictable.

By identifying the key audience you want to create value for, you focus yourself on the most crucial people in your life, helping them to grow their capabilities - and growing your own as well.
