Realistic Day In The Life Of a Tech CEO (70 Employees)

[Music] [Music] [Music] it's going on so I was supposed to record some content hot cash but first meeting went over and then some stuff came up and now I have a phone call scheduled right now I'm waiting for someone to call so very rarely do things go exactly as planned if they do go as planned it's usually a good thing because that means I get more like a focus work time which I don't get that much but put that up on this call [Music] hi guys so the recap one thing that I'm not showing is that I spend a lot of the time like eating in the meetings kind of on my laptop just keeping up on metrics or slack like a lot of people emailing messaging so I try to knock out a bunch of that stuff as like I'm going to these various meetings just to see how everything is going look at how Facebook guys are doing that kind of stuff as a leader it's your job to help make the team as effective as possible like I as one individual can only do so much so if I had the whole day to just like work I'm only gonna get one person's like amount of work done but we have a team of like 70 people essentially it's my job to help everybody be as effective as possible so sometimes that's answered questions sometimes that's providing insight sometimes that's just soliciting and so yeah that's what I spend a good amount of time game I always see what happens let's get it [Music] [Music] I'm sorry not a battery on my remote it's an unusual so I got a kickback and I hurt my back yesterday so I usually do I used to do a Monday morning stunt okay I kick off like the Monday morning meeting it's All Hands meeting and I come into a stunt so for april fools my assistant tracy suggested that i act like I hurt myself and then I did actually hurt myself four minutes late definitely all right so when I compare today or think about today compared to most other days it's alright like it was a very very average day I would say that it was maybe even less eventful than normal like I was thinking about that might not have been the most exciting day in the life but definitely like a real perspective of being the CEO of a seventy person company or whatever is not like all this like fame fortune anything like that like you show up and you just help your team like you have an amazing team and you just help that team to be super effective and make sure that you know everyone's really excited make sure that you know you're fighting fires or you know if there's some drama or something like you do with that and just making sure that everyone's like chasing towards the mission yeah maybe I'm not as exciting as you think definitely this was a definitely a realistic perspective of what a day in their life looks like I think the only thing that I would add is I typically get interrupted more and I don't think that we we caught much of that itself the day's not done so I'm going to go home seven o'clock I'm gonna go home haven't dinner with my wife hang out there for a little bit and hop back online I didn't get to work much throughout the day so um definitely have some things that I got to work out but see you guys soon what's going on guys I am working here on the couch just figured I'd tune you guys in usually nighttime is one is get everybody everything that they need in order to be successful tomorrow again like I said you have to be the like you're the facilitator as a CEO to help the team be as effective as possible and if someone isn't able to go on to the next step then you're slowing things down and so that's where I get in trouble because sometimes I'll be up three o'clock four o'clock at night I'm really trying to get better about that the last like week almost week I've been going to trying to go to bed before or right around to essentially I think last night was 2:30 but anyways sometimes I can get caught up till 4:00 or 5:00 6:00 even sometimes later so that's that's a pretty dangerous place and then number two is when I get to do kind of my individual work so there's still a good amount of individual work that I do home like tonight I was supposed to record the podcast I didn't get to so first thing in the morning I have to record the podcast because it's going live on Thursday yeah things just got away from me today but anyways I get to do my my individual work which I enjoy but you know sometimes you don't get to do that as much as you would like being CEO or or you have to find other ways to do that so anyways I'm gonna get back to work [Music] thanks so much for checking out the video if you liked it please hit the thumbs up subscribe if you want to see more if you want to see the day today come check me out on my personal Instagram thank so much guys really appreciate it [Music]
