It’s interesting that people would rather watch interviews with people that teach things they’ve never done than interviews with people that are really doing it. Great interview. So much to learn from Tobi.
Wow what a great interview! Watched it in 2 sittings. So good. My biggest takeaway: "If your company is growing at 40% a year, everyone has to get 40% better each year just to stay still & re-qualify for their job." As a leader of a fast growth company, this was eye opening, and a great way to put in words what I've struggled to express with my team for years. Thanks for telling me to watch this interview, Dan! It didn't disappoint.
If you’ve ever wondered how Shopify built a company that is the ONLY company competing directly with Amazon and winning? Watch this interview with Tobi / Co-Founder & CEO
Tobi Lutke is on a level of his own. Awesome interview with some solid questions. You were able to get him to express viewpoints which were pure genius. This video deserves more views. Thank you for the content.
Dan, what an absolutely fascinating conversation with Tobi. I particularly enjoyed his advice to “build something different”, and to continually (personally) grow such that you have to...”re-qualify for your own job every year.” There are so many wonderful insights here for every entrepreneur - and for those who are thinking about carving out their own path. Thanks for bringing us this conversation Dan; clearly lots to chew on. Thanks to Tobi for being so generous in sharing his thoughts and Shopify’s success story!
Ok, I downloaded the video to listen to later while driving... But, I had to search this video back up on TH-cam to comment the following: Well done on this video! Amazingly interesting. Will save this to re-listen to somwhere in the future.
Finding an interesting question to answer...Dan, you and Tobi are both self taught programmers. Any suggestions on an acceleraed path to self teaching to build for SaaS?
Marcus Tarrant go to a book store and buy a book. It can be that easy. For Mobile, Swift. For web I like Ruby or JavScript. If you want to pay more there’s a bunch of online boot camps now.
12:20 - Have a question that your priorities are built around. Don’t be defined by a swim lane, follow what helps the customers to a specific objective! Mine: How can I help online creators become an increasingly strong and powerful form of media?
Dan Martell thanks! Currently making a start with editing services for creators with over 2 billion views on edited videos. Helping them create more, higher quality content. Will see where the question leads me next 💯
Great interview, I used Shopify for 3 years and now I actually host my ADHD coaching website in there and even sell my coaching calls via shopify now. It’s been 8 months. I have a question though, any idea about how I can kickstart my youtube channel? I’m consistently making videos once a week geared toward people with ADH with a growth mindset, but it’s a bit hard to find that first audience.
Amine The ADHDoer you need to Bujold a group of people that care about similar topics and support each other by sharing videos and doing collaboration. Also, there is some YT SEO involved. All things you can find on TH-cam ;)
I have what I believe to be a great business idea related to e-commerce, but it has the potential to branch out to much more. Is there any way of contacting Tobias Lutke?
Jake Winters I was actually in Ottawa speaking at SaaS North and just invited him over to a room I rented for the interview. Also, I’ve known Tobi for almost 10 years... he’s a friend. You can ask him but I think he trusted it would be a good use of his time and we wouldn’t have boring conversation. Mission accomplished?

Couldn't agree more!
Great interview, it changed my opinion about Shopify. One of my favorite interviews of 2020
"I need to be twice as good next year to requalify to my job." Tobias Lutke - Shopify
Thanks for this really inspiring and enlighting talk!
52:00 - focus on being slightly ahead of the current version of your business and look ahead to being slightly ahead of the next stage

Mark, so glad you enjoyed... been wanting to shine a light on Tobi's genius for a while.
We need more people like Tobi!

Amazing story,, inspiring, filled with practical thought and perspective. Arming the rebels... me too!
@dan martell it would be good to create a playlist for all the escape velocity episodes.
rebels armed
Awesome talk guys, thanks! Love the mindset here.
Great insights and questions but difficult to watch. I just wish the interviewer would stop interrupting Tobi and let him finish his points.
Thanks alot for this interview, it was super interesting! Would love to learn more about the shopify leadership training practices.
Damn should have watched months ago. This is amazing and now I can see why Shopify is where it is
Amazing interview, tons of insights in there! Thanks so much to bring this interview to us!

So much value in this - great interview!
Thank you
Tobi Lutke should teach us how to dropshipping effectively, with all the data he gathers from Shopify, he should be the ultimate shopify guru.
His first shop, selling snowboards is probably a dropshipping business.
He could build a whole advertising platform off that
very good interview. thanks

very cool

Posture Promises he’s got bigger opportunities to deal with
Dan Martell fair enough
But... but how did you convince Tobi to come to Moncton?!
Jake Winters I was actually in Ottawa speaking at SaaS North and just invited him over to a room I rented for the interview. Also, I’ve known Tobi for almost 10 years... he’s a friend.
