Good morning. This is a holiday weekend for many of our readers, so happy Easter and good Passover to those who celebrate. It is also a day of leave of the US stock market and stockings, and a good time to think about certain wider lessons in business. Leadership Next is the weekly podcast that I cohost with Kristin Stoller, where we speak with lighting of their industries, their career paths and their business landscape prospects.
We recently met the CEO and co-founder of Roblox, David Baszuck, to talk about how the game platform has become such a success, attracting more than 85 million daily users and 2.8 million developers. As the father of four, Baszuck spoke of the importance of security: for users, creators and brands. “Hear even a bad experience of a person on the platform really puts it all in perspective when we multiply by this scale,” he said.
On a personal level, he wants to transform the Roblox experience for the people who work there, “by reflecting on how we are dealing with our employees, how we head our cafeteria, to the way we direct our security and our civility as having well-being at the heart of the way we operate the company.” He also talked about his philanthropic work in metabolic health, inspired by the impact that the diet had on the bipolar symptoms of his son. This inspired him to pay more attention to his own sleep, diet and well-being routine, which, according to him, is as critical for effective leadership as for elite athletes.
We also recently talked with Scott Boatwright, the CEO of Chipotle of the way he draws in AI in the restaurant chain, his response to the prices and his relationship with Brian Niccol, his predecessor and current CEO of Starbucks. You can listen to this episode here. And the episode of last week is with the CEO of Wendy, Kirk Tanner. We talked about the formative career experience of Tanner at Pepsico, its expansion plans and how consumer behavior informs its strategy. Here is a link to this episode.
