The Change Officer

Human beings don’t like change: it’s wired into our very DNA. Yet change is inevitable, and if we want to remain relevant and empowered, we need to understand the changes unfolding before us. Knowledge is power, and by seeking it we hope to dismantle our collective anxiety about not knowing what the future holds. To get the answers, we’re speaking to the change-makers themselves – the entrepreneurs, the founders, the business leaders – asking them where they see the change ahead, and what we can do to make the most of these opportunities.

STEP 2023: Finding Happiness in Work: A Conversation with Lloyed Lobo

April 03, 2023 • Ivan Zeljković

Welcome to the latest episode of The Change Officer (TCO) podcast, where we embrace change and talk to the change-makers themselves. In this Step Special episode recorded at Dubai Internet City, our host Ivan Zeljković sat down with Lloyed Lobo, the Co-founder of Boast.AI & Traction. Lloyed is on a mission to help businesses accelerate their innovation by providing quicker access to R&D tax credits.

During the conversation, Lloyed talked about the importance of being happy in your job and how his own experience led him to a breaking point. After working 24/7 for his company, Lloyed found himself in the hospital pledging to commit more time to his family. However, he continued to work just as hard until his daughter confronted him, urging him to find a job with a founder who shared his values and allowed him to spend more time with his family.

Lloyed took his daughter's advice to heart and stepped down from his company, moving from San Francisco to Dubai for a happier and healthier life. In Dubai, Lloyed found a combination of Miami and Las Vegas, a place with fewer investments than Silicon Valley, but where he could still thrive and innovate. Lloyed concludes that hard times bring innovation and encourages us all to find the right balance between work and family.

We hope you enjoy listening to this inspiring conversation and take away valuable insights that will help you embrace change in your own life.
