Episode 23: Seth Carpien on Unintentional Mentors, Personal Growth, and Product Mindsets

In this episode, Seth Carpien - Chief Growth Officer at Tricon Infotech - shares how “unintentional mentors” helped shape his career from finance to sales to product leadership. He reflects on the moment a colleague challenged his thinking and sparked a complete mindset shift - one that led him to embrace failure, stay humble, and treat his career like a product: something to test, learn from, and constantly improve.

We talk about navigating career pivots, leading remote teams, building cultures of curiosity, and why effort often matters more than talent. Whether you’re early in your journey or rethinking what comes next, Seth offers practical, candid insight on finding your path - and growing through the uncomfortable parts.
