From high school dropout to CEO, with Autodesk’s Andrew Anagnost

Before we get to the rest of our conversation today, I want to spend a moment sharing with you about the Masters of Scale Summit, which returns to San Francisco this October 20th to 22nd. So many of us feel overwhelmed right now. feels like so much of the world is careening. And we don't have power, we don't have agency. That's the thing about the Masters of Scale Summit. It's really designed to remind us that we do have agency.

Agency to lead, agency to design, to build the relationships and the partnerships that empower us and to make the change that we want to see. We program a stage, we curate an audience, we set a schedule that builds in time for these relationships to be made and to grow, so that by the time you leave summit, you are fired out of a cannon. Ready to run through walls to do better in the world with the agency that you actually have. I hope to see you there. Visit masters of scale dot com slash summit. I think we are the product of the people that lift us up. I really believe that.

I never believe this bull crap. Oh, you know, I did this all myself. Who do you want behind you? The one that believes in your mission or the one that you paid. to be there the mercenary. You want the one who believes in your mission.
