thanks for the video!

Please buy Jerry a decent mic

Thanks , CTO is the best choice for me , as building engineer and urbanist who works on aware cities in optic , computer science . CTO , in teams , is a good choice in small teams .

i'm so curious about the background. what is the red cloth covering? is that a vibe plate? dog toy?

This was helpful

They look absolutely sleepy

This is a really great video. The real key take away for me was Eric Kaplan. You can really tell wealth of experience and sage wisdom. The other offered a lot of current and fresh pointers but Eric was evergreen and pure gold!

Please link slides and socials for the panel

Whoever edits and uploads these interviews needs to change. A 9 year old knows that the camera should switch immediately to and stay on the person asking/answering the question. Also, why do you guys keep using the interviewER in the thumbnail??? I don't even know his name, and all these insights are from the guest!

Diversity is only gender? There is good number of Asians ,mainly Indians and Chinese working in technology sector. You have to represent them in leadership . What about veteran etc.

You guys gotta stop using the interviewER as your thumbnail. Makes me think that all your videos are of him talking. It's also quite disrespectful to your guest speaker who's sharing all this knowledge.

Please ask leaders to share good stories or examples also along with topics they cover

Please be consistent in using the speaker as the thumbnail. I want to watch all your interviews with Vinay, but half of those videos have the face of the interviewer; that's not helpful.

any link to the sides available?

Knowledge is power, so it's no surprise that most highly successful people list "continuous learning" as a key to their success. Make learning a lifestyle!

Keep it up 🙂👌

Excellent presentation. Thank you!

good stategies

Superb! So so useful!

Is it only me to whom the left two in the panel made more sense than the right two?

Learned a few things from this talk, thanks for sharing. I wish she watches this talk herself to improve her public speaking skills. There are many places where she says the phrases “you know” and “sort of” that don’t add much value and weakens her messaging.

Starts at 9:48

Thank you, guys. amazing talk.

Good stuff !!!

Is this the Jonathan Raymond that said: “You can't know what you don't know. You can't know about things you have yet to discover.”

good one. stepping into this role, this knowledge would surely be helpful!

Will Larson is very smart and well spoken , his book is helping me a lot and this interview is great . Thanks !

Excellent panel

Very nice

Great point about "Startups within a startup". Thinking that way in a startup makes a startup hypercharged.

I keep coming back to 18:47; especially his point, "...we accept that humans have shortcomings, and we design our organizations, our culture and our process to understand what our own shortcomings are."

The last story is the reward for the 2 hours spent watching this 👏
