Technology
Increments is a show for technologists about leveraging the in-between moments. Those moments you come up for air, and take a beat. They say music is about the space between the notes, and just like music - growth happens in those moments between projects. Increments won't always give you answers, but will create the space for you to find them

Episode 106: Frenetic

Someone I know, someone I consider a mentor, recently called me 'frenetic.' And it was a fair criticism - but one I think that could use a little explaining.

Episode 105: The Website

Continuing with the theme of commitments, I wanted to share a story from earlier in my career. In 2007 I launched a website that went viral. It was bigger than I could have imagined, bigger than I'd dreamed, bigger than I'd intended, and demanded more commitment from me than I had prepared to give.

Episode 104: Languishing

Just a short one this week - rather than listen to me, a recent episode from Adam Grant's WorkLife podcast is worth giving a listen, and considering - especially as it relates back to last week's episode.

Episode 103: What Are You Doing About Your Fears?

After talking about fears, let's do something about them. Let's make some commitments, and take some steps towards putting them to rest. Maybe all your worst fears about yourself are true - but if they are, taking the right next steps won't keep them true for long.

Episode 102: Your Thoughts on Fears

Recapping the responses to the questionnaire about your fears (What are you afraid of, and how do you manage your fears). The responses were interestingly consistent and I was asking myself why that may be, and how that relates back to what this whole experiment with Increments is all about.

Episode 101: (Re)Starting with Vulnerability

Season "0" was just getting started, helping me iron out kinks and figure this thing out... incrementally. We'll be coming back to the topic of Growth many times throughout, but for now we're pivoting to Season 1 where we'll be talking a bit about fears and vulnerability.

Episode 003: David Semach on Growth and Changing Careers

I've had the pleasure of working with David Semach for a number of years. David's great at capturing and sharing a lot of insight about making a career change, moving into code, and growing as a developer.

Episode 002: Growth (and Do We Need to Really Talk About This?)

Talking about growth is like asking someone if they're saving enough for retirement. It's not without some anxiety and the truth is, too often we look at external factors to drive our growth. But are there better ways to drive our growth through our own internal aspirations? For reference: DropBox Career Framework: https://dropbox.github.io/dbx-career-framework/

Episode 000: What is "Increments"?

Increments is a show about coming up for air once a while and evaluating where we are in our tech careers, and being intentional with our professional aspirations.
