Scaling Up: Lessons From The World's Best CEOs and Founders · From The Archive: Art Meets Science - Bruce Buchanan, Rokt CEO and Co-Founder · 8 Oct 2025 podcast

So to be able to switch off from that is a skill in itself.

Could not agree with you more.

And with four daughters

You're you're gonna be up against it at times, I can imagine.

Uh one last question because you've been so generous with your time, but is there any lesson that you would tell your twenty five year old self that you've learnt in the years post that that really resonates with you?

I mean it's great advice.

And often that hard conversation is never as hard as what you think it's going to be when two people actually get to the bones of of the situation face to face.

Fantastic answer.

Uh uh so grateful for your time.

I'm super excited to watch Rock grow in the in the years coming.

You're one of Australia's great entrepreneurs, one of the great executives, and I I hope I've done this story justice, but thank you, Bruce Buchanan, for your time.

Scaling Up: Lessons From The World's Best CEOs and Founders · Block by Block: Building the Future of Money - Owen Jennings, Head of Product, Block [S9.E6] · 7 Sep 2025 podcast

I'm Ed Cowan and this is Scaling Up.

My guest today is Owen Jennings, the head of product at Block and a key person around the executive table of what is now by market cap one of the largest 500 companies in the world.

Block, formerly known as Square, today is really several powerful ecosystems under one roof.

Square serving millions of merchants, Cash App, the consumer super app that's become the financial home for.

tens of millions of people, and of course, Australian founded Afterpay, the global BuyNow PayLader platform that connects these two, bringing shoppers and sellers together.

Owen is one of the rare executives that has truly grown up inside a company.

Today, Owen leads product across all of Block.

He's widely credited for the new sense of product velocity inside the company, and the ability to ship faster, to experiment at scale, and to embed AI as a multiplier in everything they do.

But most importantly, this is a story about scaling culture.
