Quit the safety net.

Andrzej Gorski walked away from a stable job to become employee one at a brand-new startup — no contracts or guarantees.

That leap taught him the mindset he still has today: Fail fast, fail often, and keep moving.

Now, he’s senior vice president of electronic systems at Two Six Technologies, running one of the company’s fastest-growing units. His leadership style is simple: protect your people, communicate clearly, and never stop reinventing how teams work.

In this episode of "Rookies to Rockstars," Andrzej shares why:

• Overanalyzing slows you down in tech
• In-person conversations beat Zoom every time
• The best leaders create more of themselves so their teams can scale
