To cap off Season 2, Jon and I spoke to what many might consider a tech success story. Daniel Vassallo is no stranger to tech Twitter, but in case he is a new name to you, Daniel is a former Amazon Software Engineer who now makes a living with a portfolio of small bets. He made his way to Seattle by way of Ireland, working for 7 years at Amazon before leaving the corporate world for the freedom of self-employment. I (Melissa) love Daniel's story, largely because I long to replicate his portfolio of small bets approach to work. This was a wonderful conversation. I appreciate Daniel's transparency and authenticity. Have a listen to hear: Daniel's path into amazon Correspondence college, long before remote schooling was a thing The interview process Navigating coding challenges over the phone -- these were pre-Zoom/Skype/Facetime days! Moving from Ireland to Seattle How his role and job scope changed over time Salary numbers over time The process of self-reflection through his time at Amazon Leaving amazon to pursue a portfolio of small bets Whether your goal is to work in tech for 30 years, or grind for 5 with an eye on early retirement, Daniel is worth a follow.

This was another great conversation. I know I say that every time, but it seems to always be true. Emily and I (Melissa) crossed paths 5 years ago at Flatiron School. Our careers have taken different trajectory paths since then and this conversation was a chance to both catch up as well as to get her full story of going from English Professor to Frontend Engineer. We cover: Choosing the route of academia Work as a college English professor “Trying out” programming Flatiron Bootcamp First role at Pendo Onboarding as a brand new engineer The Bootcamp path Growing from an entry-level frontend engineer to a senior engineer The value of meetups and forming relationships within the industry Two great places to "try it out" are: Codecademy LaunchSchool To follow Emily's GoodReads recommendations, head here.

Wear is the Love, Episode 15In this week's episode, we felt our listeners might want to know a bit more about us, Melissa and Michael, as a couple. How did we meet? How did we start dating? I (Melissa) love telling this story because it's all a bit cute, sweet, and hilarious.In the second part of the episode, we discuss the op-ed from Yuval Levin titled, “Why Do Our Politicians Keep Pursuing a Losing Strategy?” Levin proposes that political parties need to start focusing on new questions and issue areas, and we have some thoughts.Reclaiming Hope Newsletter is a reader-supported publication.

For those without those things, there are two options: 1) pay a lot of money for help, or 2) figure it out your damn self.”“How an Ivy League school turned against a student” (The New Yorker)Because this story about Mackenzie Fierceton's horrific childhood and the subsequent issues she faced with her Rhodes Scholarship and tenure at University of Penn show how we assume stories of trauma conform to stereotypes and statistics. “If trauma creates a kind of narrative void, Mackenzie seemed to respond by leaning into a narrative that made her life feel more coherent, fitting into boxes that people want to reward. Perhaps her access to privilege helped her understand, in a way that other disadvantaged students might not, the ways that élite institutions valorize certain kinds of identities. There is currency to a story about a person who comes from nothing and thrives in a prestigious setting. These stories attract attention, in part because they offer comfort that, at least on occasion, such things happen.”“My Friend Goo” (Paris Review)Because this is an absolutely heartwarming and heartbreaking story, somehow, about the relationship between a woman and a goose and how their relationship connects to the death of her younger brother.

The Promise: Birth of the Messiah is an animated musical that presents Luke's account of the nativity story. It was written and directed by Todd, while I (Melissa) had a hand in the production as a motion-capture performer. Todd tells us how this film was conceived, it's unique challenges, it's handling of Hebrew poetry as music, and favorite moments. And as a bonus, Todd talks about his current production Prodigal the Musical and shares a clip of one of his favorite songs from the show.
