Ep #10: A Small Cog In A Giant
Machine with Scott Wilkinson

Audio

Summary

I spoke with my good friend and software developer Scott Wilkinson from Chicago. He was my partner in crime for 5 years (between 2014 and 2019) when we run together a community podcast called "The DNN Monthly Chat".

We spoke about his corporate career at Sears and why he decided to move on. We also talked about his brief freelancing experience and his current work at a Digital Agency called Blue Bolt where he is no longer a small cog in a big machine.

He shared with me a story about a hard time he had when he was getting started as a developer and what lessons we can drawn from it, like it is ok to admit you need help.
