Tobi Lütke: CEO and Founder, Shopify
In this episode, Kevin Scott, the host of "Behind the Tech" podcast, sits down with Tobi Lütke, who is the CEO and founder of Shopify, a Canadian-based multinational e-commerce platform. Tobi's entrepreneurial journey started with an online snowboard shop he ran from his carport, and from there, he always aimed to be a craftsman before a business executive.
Throughout his career, he has used his problem-solving skills and a mindset that revolves around being an apprentice or a learner, which has helped him build and scale his company. This episode goes into how Tobi applies his background in computer science and engineering to overcome challenges and how writing code and tinkering in his home laboratory inspires his creative leadership. If you're interested in entrepreneurship, computer science, or engineering, this episode is highly recommended to gain insights into the mind of a successful businessman.
