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 industry
- the tech industry in general
- Startup culture
- Web 2.0!
- Flat brim New Era
- The perils of constant growth/the effects of constant growth on innovation
- Toxic work environments
- Sociopathic tech bros
- What is “Product”
- AI generated art
- SO MUCH MORE!
