In our second episode, I talk to Calix Huang, a junior in the Bay Area who's passionate about startups and full-stack software engineering.

Calix is the founder of LaunchTech and is currently focused on building Hours, a platform that boosts productivity for students through virtual study groups. He's also taken on many software engineering intern roles, including those at Hack+ and Restvo. 

In our episode, Calix shares the passion he has for building platforms out of nothing and eventually distributing them to consumers, as well as the dedication and grit it takes for him to gain the knowledge and keep working even when things get tough. I especially love his point about how success can bring fulfillment, yet it's not the same as- only a contributing factor in- happiness.
