#109 - From Teacher to Software Engineer to Teacher? David Rogers Breaks Down How He Taught Himself to Code and Land a Job
Episode description
This week, I interviewed David Rogers, a teacher turned software engineer. He now mentors others and breaks down difficult JS concepts unlike many can.
Maybe you're thinking, "Wait, isn't he like, your competition?"
You'd be right. We both have businesses with the goal of teaching others to code and change careers.
I like when people keep it real and David did not disappoint.
We chat about:
- David's not so great experience on the first job
- Why mindset is more than a buzzword
- The mistakes you should avoid when learning to code
- Bobby (check out his IG 😉)
