As a recent bootcamp grad, this podcast has been AMAZING!!! The job search was draining but hearing all these amazing stories of others killing it years later gives me hope. Always find at least one actionable tip from each episode. Thanks for setting this up Rod!!

Thanks for this podcast, very useful for a lot of people I think!
