Listen "Ep 9: Linus Hakansson: Why AI means it's a great time to enter the workforce"
Episode Synopsis
We meet Linus Hakansson, who became a Chief Product Officer by way of developing mobile apps, architecting cloud solutions, and a spell of consultancy. Throughout his career Linus has succeeded by applying technology to solve real problems. Linus explains how his progression was due to a mixture of skill, hard work and good fortune. Espouses the value of a mentor who knows talent where he sees it, and explains how he was never more stressed than when his job was stress free. We discuss why good health is the only thing that matters (and critical to career progression) and digress into naming animals after footballers. Finally Linus explains how he views the AI revolution as a good thing for those entering the workforce - if they can be solutions orientated.
