Most careers don’t grow by playing it safe.
Ania Smith moved to the U.S. from Poland at 12 years old without speaking English. Years later, after building experience at Walmart, Uber, and Airbnb, she became CEO of Taskrabbit.
In this episode of How Leaders Lead, Ania breaks down the real decisions behind that trajectory. The risks she took before she felt ready. The tradeoffs most people avoid. And why she believes the fastest way to grow is by building a culture that encourages experimentation, learning, and honest reflection when things don’t go as planned.
This conversation isn’t about titles or shortcuts. It’s about momentum. About trusting yourself before you have all the answers. And about creating environments where people can move fast without being reckless.
If you’re trying to grow faster this year, personally or professionally, this episode will change how you think about risk.
You’ll learn:
• How to think like your own customer
• What most people misunderstand about agile companies
• One strategy that keeps long-term thinking front and center
• A practical framework for balancing work, life, and family
