Episode 3 - Ruben Harris (CEO of Career Karma)
Episode description
Today you'll hear from Ruben: a startup founder, Y-combinator alum, podcast host, man of faith, future father of 5.
After entering silicon valley as an outsider, he was inspired to start a company (careerkarma.com) that connects job seekers with qualified tech bootcamps that rapidly reskill people at little to no cost and place them in entry-level tech jobs making a good salary with benefits.
We talk about throwing massive hip-hop dance parties in Atlanta,
studying music at a religious school,
disruption in the classic education model,
how someone can go from making a meager hourly wage to earning a salary with benefits,
Income Share agreements,
finding mentors when you start with none, and
being open about having faith while living in a secular world.
