Great managers are those with a people first mindset.

They go through fire for their team,
allow people to make mistakes and grow,
and protect people from putting their work over their life and family.

Nick van Meeteren is one of those people and I had an incredible time learning from his view and mindset.

Enjoy 🎙

This episode was recorded within minutes of me meeting Shilpi & Ashish from the Cloud Security Podcast in-person. They were in Amsterdam for a conference and swung by to make this happen. 🙌

They shared a little glimpse of what goes on behind the scenes of the cloud security podcast and what it’s like to work with your significant other. On top of that we discussed cloud security awareness, challenges and education.

Enjoy🎙

Podcaster and speaker Neil Thompson shares his journey with regards to public speaking and allows others to share theirs through his podcast Teach the Geek.

Getting better at public speaking has more benefits that you might think.
It will improve your communication skills to a point where you can influence decisions and motivate change.

This is especially true in the tech world.

A few of the topics we covered, in order 💬
☑️ How Neil’s public journeys started
☑️ The importance of presenting
☑️ Switching careers
☑️ Neil’s children’s book
☑️ Coding bootcamps

We’ve been in an employee’s market for a while now in the tech space.
The demand is far more than the supply when it comes to technical skills.

And I don’t see that changing soon.

Because of this, it can feel quite transactional.
Automated inMails, generic messages and mismatches when it comes to hard skills.

I think recruiters who do their research, tailor-fit, pinpoint why and add a personal touch stand out like no other and add value.
I like how Chase puts it: “If you’re trying to recruit somebody, you should give them a reason why they should talk to you.”

A few of the topics we covered, in order 💬
☑️ How recruiting has changed recently
☑️ The advisory role a recruiter has
☑️ Ensuring culture elevates with new hires
☑️ Facilitating a perfect match
☑️ Holding information hostage

Maximising for happiness, instead of maximising for output.
That really stuck with me after my conversation with Ken Jee.

When you maximise for output, you’re on a path that leads to more output, and more output until you burn out. Realising what drives you, what your personal values are and what makes happy will allow you to shift your attention to the things that matter in your life.

Because life is like a pencil that will surely run out. It’s up to you to leave behind your beautiful writing of life.
(Yes, I’m paraphrasing One Piece here)

A few of the topics we covered, in order 💬

☑️ Maximising for Happiness
☑️ Finding purpose and understanding
☑️ Surrounding yourself with like-minded people
☑️ Technology detox

CSS. In my experience developers have a love/hate relationship with it.

It can be fun and rewarding to implement an awesome design. But it can also be frustrating.

Kevin Powell is one of the few people I know that truly loves CSS. To the point where he’s been teaching others through his YouTube videos for the last 5 years! If you really want to become expert in something, teach it to others. Kevin took that notion to the next level and the results are truly amazing. 🙌

A few of the topics, in order 💬
☑️ Working together with designers
☑️ CSS challenges/battles
☑️ Kevin is self-taught
☑️ CSS frameworks
☑️ Mobile first implementations

Merlijn Boogerd shares how he’s always been fascinated by Decentralisation and Decentralised Systems.

I love the Wikipedia example he gives. A group of people came together and created this system and the ability to change information is completely open and public. Decentralised in that way. It’s become one of the cornerstones in how we find information.

Wikipedia is 20+ years old though…
What other benefits could Decentralised Systems offer nowadays? 

We discuss all of that and more! In order 💬  
☑️ 80% of humans behaviour is habitual
☑️ Decentralised Systems
☑️ Benefits of Public Data
☑️ Crowdsourcing Software Development
☑️ Decentralised Building Blocks
