#65 Mike Fisher - An accountability community

In this conversation, Ben speaks to Mike Fisher, the (outgoing) CTO at Etsy.

Mike and Ben discuss why he sees high-performing teams as “accountability communities”. Why grounding our identity firmly in our job title is misguided. How he’s found the courage to ask critical questions of himself and his peers. Why his career has been defined more by running towards things he loves than away from things. And why scrutiny is important to his work.

Mike has built multiple consequential companies - and through his insights - it is clear why he is so well regarded.
