S8E8: From Film Student and Rugby Player to Startup Software Engineer with Michael Poage
Description
After playing rugby in college, working an unpaid filmmaking internship, and switching into recruiting, Michael Poage was feeling burnt out. But after teaching himself how to code, Michael was able to land a job at startup Teachable without a computer science degree or coding bootcamp experience.
