Listen "EP 5 | The Builder’s Mindset: Jack Keck on Product, People & Process"
Episode Synopsis
What happens when a small-town kid with a pink mohawk trades the Marines for Goldman Sachs?
Jack Keck, Head of Application Development at Octus, proves that unconventional paths often lead to breakthrough leadership. From sleeping under his desk during the Marcus launch to building the Apple Card infrastructure, Keck's journey challenges everything you think you know about tech leadership. He didn't follow the traditional script—no computer science degree, no Silicon Valley pedigree. Instead, he learned by doing, taking swings at problems others wouldn't touch, and turning imposter syndrome into unstoppable drive.
Listen now to discover how authentic leadership stems from climbing mountains with your team, not standing above them.
