JSJ 442: Breaking Into Tech with Danny Thompson

Danny Thompson discusses his road to a successful tech career, after working for years outside the industry (frying chicken at gas-stations). He explains the importance of setting goals and following through, and how to overcome adversity, and handle setbacks. It's simultaneously a very inspirational story, but also filled with lots of very practical advice and action items to pursue. For example, the importance of attending and participating in Meetups and engaging with the local tech community.Panel AJ O’Neal Aimee Knight Charles Max Wood Steve Edwards Dan Shappir GuestDanny Thompson Sponsors G2i | Enjoy the luxuries of freelancing Scout APM | We'll donate $5 to the open source project of your choice when you deploy Scout React Native Remote Conf 2020LinksAI powered resume builderPicksDanny Thompson: Follow Danny Thompson on Twitter > @DThompsonDev James Q Quick - YouTube Brad Traversy - YouTube Florin Pop - YouTube AJ O’Neal: Template Resume This Video Is Sponsored By ███ VPN  The Wisdom of the Ancients by Sir Francis Bacon Free AudioBook) Aimee Knight: Amazon Web Services Eco Performance Bamboo Clothing I Handmade I by TransientCraft Charles Max Wood: The One Funnel Away Challenge!
