I am incredibly grateful to the people who have helped shape me into who I am today. Their support and guidance have been invaluable. But advice, like wisdom, can be tricky. It’s not always suitable for everyone, and any phrase can become wisdom with the right context. Generic advice from sources like LinkedIn can often be too broad or superficial, and should be taken with a grain of salt. While I have a wealth of wisdom to share, I will save that for my one-on-one conversations.

I recently had the incredible opportunity to sit down with my colleague Peter Maynard, the dynamic force behind the YouTube channel Paying it Forward. Here’s a snapshot of our conversation: CAREER 03:47 - Did you know tech was the career you wanted to follow? 04:57 - What was it about software engineering that got you hooked? 06:02 - Have you faced any career setbacks? 07:10 - What is your perspective on mentorship?
