Published: Jan. 3, 2023, 3:30 p.m.

Tobi L\xfctke, CEO and founder of the Canadian multinational e-commerce platform Shopify, is always looking for the tools he can use to build a better company. Since his early days running an online snowboard shop from his carport, Tobi has envisioned himself as fundamentally a craftsman first and a business exec second, a mindset that he has used to solve a wide variety of problems over the course of his career. In this episode, he joins Kevin to talk about applying computer science and engineering techniques to build and scale a company, the idea of bringing an \u2018apprentice mindset\u2019 to his work, and\xa0how his daily practice of writing code and tinkering in his home lab inspires him to be a more creative leader.\xa0
