| Recruiting Tech Talent with Chase Kocher | 21 Sep 2022 | 01:00:49 | |
We’ve been in an employee’s market for a while now in the tech space. And I don’t see that changing soon. Because of this, it can feel quite transactional.

| Happiness and Self Improvement with Ken Jee | 14 Sep 2022 | 00:55:53 | |
Maximising for happiness, instead of maximising for output. 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.

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 💬 Connect with Kevin Powell: New episodes every Wednesday with our host 🎙Patrick Akil!

| Self-Worth, Salary and Mindset with Tobi Oluwole | 20 Jul 2022 | 00:52:21 | |
I had a blast talking to Tobi Oluwole on self-worth, salary and mindset. What really stuck with me is that breaking limits can become more and more common. Because most of the time, when you think you’ve reached a ceiling, be it your growth, or your income, there’s no actual ceiling. The only ceiling that’s there is the one you put there yourself. Background, expectations, scepticism etc. can all contribute in creating this fictional ceiling. But since you created it in the first place, you can also remove or break through it. You’re in control after all!
