Two for one

One of the first things CEO Jason Caras asks a newly hired employee is: “Do you agree your job is not your life?”

Then he asks the employee for a written life plan. Not surprisingly, no one has pulled one out of his or her briefcase in the seven years since he and Jason Pollner created IT Authorities, a cloud and IT managed service provider.

The questions aren't what you'd expect from the CEO of a tech company. But then, Caras and Pollner strive to be different.
