Words of Wisdom from a Recently Hired Part-Time Student

This episode is a conversation between Ira Sanchez and Shelby Diamond, who was recently hired with a local company. Shelby is currently a student in Lambda School's part-time program. Here we discuss her past and current experience as a student, good and bad alike, as well as her experience getting a job.

The book referenced in this episode is A Mind For Numbers by Dr. Barbara Oakley.

Note: the above is an affiliate link, but I genuinely own this book and find it inspiring. Highly recommended for an accessible read about the brain.
