Tech Titans: Learn How to Remix as a Leader with Michael Grinich, founder at WorkOS

from Modern CTO · host ProSeries Media

Every product and piece of art you love is a ripoff…and that’s a good thing. Today, we're talking to Michael Grinich, founder of WorkOS. We discuss why copying great work is a sign of maturity rather than weakness, how the best builders draw inspiration from wildly different industries, and why the most enduring motivation in tech is really just a form of suffering. All of this right here, right now, on the Modern CTO Podcast! To learn more about WorkOS, check out their website here.
