Ep 26: John Potess: Digital Nomad, Remote Work, and Podcasts
This week we talked to our good friend, John Potess - a talented developer, sound engineer, and entrepreneur. After getting out of school and working for local agencies, John decided that there must be something better than the stress of the 9-to-5, and decided to go contract while taking the opportunity to travel with his wife. With that, John was able to prioritize his time, working on passion projects, and even now moving to the beautiful country of Portugal. John tells us about some of the projects he's working on, and gives tips on how you too can become a digital nomad.
Ep 25: Nina C - Geek Squad Educator and Spider Cosmetologist
Welcome to the first episode of 2019 where we sit down with Nina Chantanapumma, a new board member to TechMill and an all-around Denton community person.
We talk to Nina about her career path from corporate IT into graphic design education for high schoolers, the jobs she held along the way, and how she keeps involved in the local art community through Spiderweb Salon.
