In this SoundByte we talk about AI, Cryptocurrencies and whether or not you need to learn CS in order not to be left behind. Take a listen!
For this episode, we traveled up to Slack HQ in San Francisco to interview Erica Baker, a badass engineer and a fierce advocate in the conversation around diversity in tech.
In this episode we interview Fatima Dicko, MBA student at Stanford Graduate School of Business and founder & CEO of JetPack. We discuss being a black woman in Stanford's MBA program, the creation and evolution of JetPack, and being forced to prove ourselves. We end the episode with the our favorite game to date: Public Answer/Private Answer. Enjoy!

Hey ya’ll! We’re really excited to release this special episode of Three Unicorns. Last December we went up to San Francisco Public Library to record a special episode in partnership with CODE2040 (www.code2040.org/) in StoryCorps’s (storycorps.org/) StoryBooth. We all dug deep into the impact of being CODE2040 Fellows during our summer working in Silicon Valley, how it felt to go to work in the midst of tragedy, and how we think the tech industry could be radically different. Listen, enjoy, and tell us what you think.
This episode features an interview with Ima Christian of Five-O, a fiery rant, an exciting (maybe dangerous?) new startup idea, and Blessings! Be sure to listen, and let us know what you think! Thank you to KZSU for the studio space and Otis McDonald (@otismacmusic) for the music. *Ima Christian is a young entrepreneur and sophomore at Stanford who created the award winning app Five-O with her siblings (http://fiveo.us/).
We're back! In this episode, Lindsey, Michelle, and Alona tell their stories of how they got into tech/computer science. Thank you to KZSU for the studio space and Otis McDonald (@otismacmusic) for the music
Trying to get your first internship in tech? Here are our tips on how to get noticed and ace the interview. This is our last release before full episodes return in January 2017! Thank you to KZSU for the studio space and Otis McDonald (@otismacmusic) for the music
SoundBytes are like Three Unicorn mini episodes! In this first SoundByte, Lindsey tells us about a crazy resume trick a tech recruiter told her friend about and we thought it was just wild. We then close out by talking about stories from our time taking the CS107, one of Stanford’s most notoriously difficult computer science classes. Thank you to KZSU for the studio space and Otis McDonald (@otismacmusic) for the music
In this first episode, we’re already down to 2 unicorns! Michelle starts questioning whether there’s more to life than being a cog in the machine. Then, we talk about what gives us the FIRE - that burning passion that gets us up in the morning - and discuss whether or not we have found it yet in the tech industry and why. Finally, we close out our podcast with Blessings, a segment where we shout out those special people, places or things that have recently given us life. Huge thank yous to KZSU for the studio space and Otis McDonald (https://soundcloud.com/otismacmusic) for the music
