Changing Careers, Listening and Podcasting with Bart Farrell

Probably the most fun conversation I’ve had while having the most connectivity issues 😂
Hopefully nothing noticeable :)

Bart Farrell comes on and shares his non-linear journey to the tech industry. I love how he leverages his previous experience in what he does now and isn’t afraid to jump into the unknown.

Next to that, we discuss our learnings from having had many conversations with different. Listening is one of the key takeaways there.

Enjoy 🎙
