Shownotes Transcript

My guest today is Tobi Lutke), the co-founder and CEO of Shopify. I have spoken to Tobi on this podcast twice before, first in 2020 and then again in 2022. Needless to say, a lot has changed since we last spoke, and we start by talking about the biggest change of all: AI. But I’ll remember this conversation for the next set of ideas we discuss: Founder mode, raising the temperature of an organization, and the importance of building on an island that’s distinct from the mainstream. Tobi embodies the concept of Life’s Work that I believe so much in, and this episode is a shining example of it. He, along with nine other leaders we believe are doing their life’s work, will also be featured in the first issue of an upcoming print publication we’ve been working on. If you’re interested in hearing first when pre-orders go on sale, head to joincolossus.com/print. For now, please enjoy this great conversation with Tobi Lutke.
