This week I sat down with Chris, founder and owner of Jetboost.io.  Started just a year ago, Chris talks about how Jetboost came to be and how he made the transition from his consulting business to going all in on Jetboost during the pandemic.  We chat about the rising popularity of the #no-code community, the tools that are springing up left and right.

With her years of knowledge, dedication to learning, and empathetic mindset, Sara has proven to be a great asset within the realm of product strategy and management. She eloquently balances her expertise at the intersection of business, technology, and user experience, and employs radical candor to truly get the job done and done well.

What's it all about?

I started Talks with SaraNoSocks with one goal in mind: share other's stories! We all hear the "overnight success" stories, but there is a huge piece of the puzzle they're leaving out! What happened before you hit it big? Surely failure is a part of your journey! Hear what it's like to try and fail. These are open and honest discussions around the failure we all experience, but we're too afraid to share. My goal, to expose the "sticky middle", show you everyone fails and you can turn that into success.

Ep 37: Solo Episode 6: Overworking

If you're anything like me it can be hard to turn off that internal pressure to always be working.  Case in point, this past weekend when I unplugged for a whopping 6 hours.  Let's open up the discussion how to take time off, connect with your family, friends and recharge.  How do you learn to calm the internal voice?

Did you know I'm a Creator in Residence for Makerpad (https://www.makerpad.co)?  I'm building tutorials and tool paths to help you discover how to make all that you can with no code tools.  Have something you can't figure out?  Send me a tweet and you just might get your own tool path!

Ep 85: I miss the ease of corporate

Let's face it, having a traditional job is easier. You just need to show up, do your job and go home. I miss that feeling. I've been feeling like I can't keep my head above water for the last few months drowning under the weight of having to do it all.  When I was asked last week about whether or not I miss corporate, naturally my honest answer is at least once a week.

Do you miss the ease of not having to do it all?  Share your thoughts on the Twitter thread
