💡 "Engineers have become 'force multipliers' working with AI..." ✍️

. @ianmtl , @gabrielsundaram and I had the pleasure of being joined by @markmacleod_ who has sat at the right-hand side of the leaders of high growth technology companies as either a CFO, VC or deal maker since 1999. He served as CFO for software companies including Shopify and Freshbooks. He was also a General Partner in Real Ventures and founded SurePath Capital Partners.
Mark is a coach to startup CEOs and was nice enough to share some great advice on the podcast. We spoke about:
- His journey from CFO to investor to coach
- Why coaching is important for CEOs just like elite athletes
- Striking a work-life balance
- The notion of intentionality in one’s work
- How learning leads to a virtuous cycle in his work
I hope you enjoy the conversation!

Sending you off into the weekend with great news: Our network just hit 2,000 members!
We're thrilled to be an ever-growing home to the world's most talented engineers and product builders. To all our members new and old, we're grateful to be working with you!
Fully remote, fully flexible, and access to the best talent in the world: that's Mission.
It's no coincidence our platform perfectly suits the way things are headed; it's by design.
Mission was built with the future of work in mind. That's why it works so well in the present.
⭐ Access talent: Companies see that they need to be distributed to hire the most talented people globally
Rather than hiring the best person in a 30-mile radius of the office, they can hire the best person in the world for every role
How AI might affect the future of work is a complex, and yes, anxiety-inducing topic. We see AI as a tool to augment human capacity, so it still depends on the talent of the engineers using it. And you won't find better engineers than ours.

2023 only just started, but the awards are already rolling in! Mission has been named one of the Best Startups by @GPTW_Canada ! True to our ethos, we'll only use it as motivation to continue to improve and provide a better and better platform for our network. Thank you!
According to a recent Fast Company article, workers today are "seeking meaning as much as high pay" and want to align with their company's values
At Mission, our core values include community, personal growth, and independence. If those align with yours, let's build together
According to a study done by Owl Labs, remote workers
• Are 47% more productive
• Spend 10 minutes less per day being unproductive
• Work one more day a week
Our engineers are going to keep that same energy in 2023, and they'll get to do it wearing their favorite slippers.
