    Gokul Rajaram: The Superpower of Being Helpful

    Gokul Rajaram has worked as a leader at some of the most iconic companies in the world: Google, Facebook, Square, Pinterest, Coinbase and Doordash. In conversation with Caesar, Gokul dives into the motivations behind his journey from being one of the foremost ad experts in the world to being a leading tech investor and advisor.  Gokul promotes the superpower of learning how to be helpful. After sitting on more than a dozen executive boards over his career, Gokul advises listeners not to be motivated by status, but instead to focus on lending your expertise to growing businesses.  Instead of focusing on profits and promotions, he explains how over the years he has made the mission of the company – including serving consumers or small businesses – his North Star. In the abstract space of fintech, he stresses the importance of feeling excited about the product you are building for customers. He also underscores the need to work with high-caliber professionals who challenge you, because when you’re the dumbest person in the room, that’s when you learn.  In his professional leaps and bounds, Gokul has focused on regret minimization. Rather than staying in his lane as the product director of ads at Facebook, he sought out new and unique leadership roles in product development. He invites listeners before a career jump to consider the worst case scenario, and no matter the outcome, whether you will develop new skills and grow your network.  When it comes to investing, Gokul argues money making should not be front of mind. Instead, as an angel investor, he embraces the opportunity to support growing businesses and to learn. Investing is a way to stay relevant and engage in developing technologies more tangibly.  Gokul provides a motivating story of putting purpose over profits, and shares how he’s helping give back to the community now that his mindset is paying dividends.

Brandon recounts his bold decision to move from Las Vegas to Seattle for a new opportunity, despite his family’s concerns.

The conversation delves into Brandon’s initial struggles with imposter syndrome and how encouragement from colleagues at the White House’s U.S. Digital Service finally gave him the confidence to make the leap into tech. He also shares invaluable lessons he’d impart to his younger self about taking responsibility for one’s life path, staying patient and focused on goals, and maintaining financial discipline.

His story serves as an inspiration for being thoughtful about risks while remaining unafraid to defy conventions in pursuit of one’s dreams.

    Karim Temsamani, the CEO of Cardlytics and previous President of Google in Asia, joins Caesar for an eye-opening conversation about personal growth, career changes, and the mindset he had that pushed him to make these pivotal changes throughout his life.

Karim stresses that he believes no one should make a career change strictly based on the financial aspect.  While money and your financial situation can play a role in career decisions, he wants people to understand that the best way to make career changes is based on interest, the ability to work with great people and family, and the opportunity to learn something new. Karim shares that his decision to leave Google in Hong Kong was made based on wanting to try something new and be closer to family.  This episode tells the story of different factors that should influence career changes and how money isn’t everything.
