How to Break Into Tech & Build a Modern Career | Ex-CTO on AI, Mindset & Growth

Описание: Welcome to another episode on How to Break into Tech. Today, we have Paul Goldbaum, ex-CTO of Seedtag and now, founder of Lightbase. And honestly… we didn’t just talk about careers. We talked about real life in the modern job market.

Some of the ideas that stayed with me most:

→ Careers are no longer linear.
The old “study → job → promotion → retirement” path is fading. Today, growth often looks messy, unexpected, and full of pivots — and that’s not a problem, it’s an advantage.

→ The difference between a good candidate and a great one isn’t just skills.
It’s mindset. Curiosity. Ownership. The ability to learn fast and adapt even faster.

→ Be a DO-er.
Not just a thinker. Not just a planner. The people who stand out are the ones who execute, experiment, and build — even when they don’t have perfect certainty.

→ AI is reshaping everything.
Not only jobs, but how we work, how we learn, and how we create value. The winners won’t be those who resist change — but those who learn to collaborate with it.

One of my favorite takeaways from the conversation:

Careers today aren’t built by waiting for opportunities.
They’re built by creating momentum.

Huge thanks, Paul, for such an honest, thoughtful, and inspiring conversation.

I’m curious:
What do you think matters most today to stand out professionally?
