""There are probably some people who approach college from like, 'I'm going to do the assignment and do what I'm told,'""
""But the students I think that really thrive are the ones who forge their own path.""
""That's a lot of what CEOs do is look at the range of possibilities, figure out what the options are, and pick a path,""
""And pick a path knowing that you can't know the future, knowing that you don't get to know if you're right until after and being the ones to shoulder that responsibility.""
Lauren Antonoff left UC Berkeley without finishing her degree after her apartment burned down and later built a nearly 25-year tech career at Microsoft and GoDaddy. In 2022, during a career break, she returned to UC Berkeley at age 52 and took courses in rhetoric, political science, and biotech. Completing coursework sharpened her perspective on adaptability and staying focused on long-term goals despite unexpected life events. She believes students who forge their own paths thrive. As CEO of Life360, she equates leadership with evaluating options, choosing a path under uncertainty, and accepting responsibility.
