Episode 0034 - Justin

The guest on episode 34 of Feel Free to Deviate is Justin Baum. He is the VP of Product at a software company called LeaseUp. He’s also a designer and a user experience guru. He probably won’t like that I called him a guru, but that’s too bad… He’s a very knowledgeable guy who digs deep into the philosophy surrounding the tech industry. I have always admired his technical skills, but also his uncanny ability to find an actual career path at an early age. He’s a sort of a wunderkind, who rocketed to early success, experienced some bumps along the way, and then reinvented himself on a different coast. We talk about the tech industry, image generation, and a bunch of other stuff. I’m hoping he’ll come back sometime so we can follow up on some of the many topics we started talking about. Topics include:The pleasures and pains of a rapid rise in the tech industrythe tech industry in generalStartup cultureWeb 2.0!Flat brim New EraThe perils of constant growth/the effects of constant growth on innovationToxic work environmentsSociopathic tech brosWhat is “Product”AI generated artSO MUCH MORE!Check out Justin’s company, LeaseUp if you have commercial real estate needs, or if you are curious - https://www.leaseup.co/Some other related things you might want to check out:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stable_Diffusionhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DALL-Ehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshall_McLuhanC-level - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corporate_title#List_of_chief_officer_(CO)_titleshttps://hbr.org/2019/01/the-era-of-move-fast-and-break-things-is-overhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lean_startupThat should keep you busy for a little while...Feel Free to Deviate is the podcast about people, their careers, and their relationships with success.
