A Highly Empathic Technical Person

Yusuf Syaid still can't believe that he is the third person to have been to the deepest sea on earth. The Australian-born man who is now the CTO of JumpStart Coffee has a unique history that can blow our minds. Yusuf is the person whose name is on every Gojek driver's jacket, on the deepest ocean floor, and also on Mars. With this impressive track record, he is still humble and feels that there is still much that can be done.

Yusuf explained the importance of connecting business people with technical people. According to him, humans are analog creatures. 'We don't live on computers and live digitally, do we?' he added. 'Humans still need interaction with physical objects.'

Defining himself as a curious, empathic, and technical person, Yusuf emphasizes the importance of being a technical person who has high empathy. Because 'highly empathetic people in the technical world are very rare,' he said.

Yusuf also explains how to have high empathy, namely by sharing. By sharing experiences, people will be able to empathize with us.
