How Upbringing Shapes Our Views On Parenting, Technology, and AI | Chris Miller (father of 1, Hubspot)
Manage episode 397551566 series 3514481
Chris Miller is the VP of Product at Hubspot focused on Growth and AI where he has worked for nearly 8 years. I consider Chris to be one of the most forward thinking leaders on AI, monetization and growth. Prior to Hubspot he built product at companies like Runkeeper and Roam. Chris is a loving husband and the father of a two-year-old son. In our conversation today we discussed:
- His personal and professional background, including how he got into AI
- The influence of Chris' upbringing in New York
- Managing a family with culturally diverse backgrounds
- The unique challenges of modern fatherhood
- How family background influences differences in parenting approaches
- What is and isn't worth spending money on as a parent
- How we think about the relationship we want our kids to have with technology, especially as technology professionals
