In tech, we all have the opportunity to grow our careers, build wealth, and reach our financial goals. And if your goal is to be financially independent, there are some things you need to practice and master so you can let your money work for you, and not the other way around.

In this episode, Christopher shares his origin story of how he went from tech noob to financially independent – and how you can too!

It’s important to be able to have these conversations around career and money because in tech, we’re here to work for equity.

In this episode, you will hear:

• Taking a calculated risk of learning a new technology early
• Leveraging the power of compounding
• Thinking like an investor when trading your time and talent for tech equity
• Building a strong peer network and support team
• How to execute your vision and make equity work for you
