- From Ideas to Games and Products with Rosemary Lokhorst
“Ideas are a dime a dozen. People who implement them are priceless.”
- Mary Kay AshIn my view, this still holds true. But how do you execute and turn an idea into a product, or even a game?
This episode with Rosemary Lokhorst covers exactly that.What I admire about her is she doesn’t shy away from things she’s never done before, or things that have never been done before.Enjoy 🎙

https://youtu.be/9bxg3GHEpPAEnjoy! 🎙46 min - Recruiting Tech Talent with Chase Kocher
We’ve been in an employee’s market for a while now in the tech space.
The demand is far more than the supply when it comes to technical skills.And I don’t see that changing soon.
Because of this, it can feel quite transactional.
Automated inMails, generic messages and mismatches when it comes to hard skills.I think recruiters who do their research, tailor-fit, pinpoint why and add a personal touch stand out like no other and add value.
I like how Chase puts it: “If you’re trying to recruit somebody, you should give them a reason why they should talk to you.”A few of the topics we covered, in order 💬
☑️ How recruiting has changed recently☑️ The advisory role a recruiter has☑️ Ensuring culture elevates with new hires☑️ Facilitating a perfect match☑️ Holding information hostageConnect with Chase Kocher:

https://youtu.be/7nhOJujmGGkEnjoy! 🎙1 hr 1 min - Happiness and Self Improvement with Ken Jee
Maximising for happiness, instead of maximising for output.
That really stuck with me after my conversation with Ken Jee.When you maximise for output, you’re on a path that leads to more output, and more output until you burn out. Realising what drives you, what your personal values are and what makes happy will allow you to shift your attention to the things that matter in your life.
Because life is like a pencil that will surely run out. It’s up to you to leave behind your beautiful writing of life.
(Yes, I’m paraphrasing One Piece here)A few of the topics we covered, in order 💬
☑️ Maximising for Happiness
☑️ Finding purpose and understanding☑️ Surrounding yourself with like-minded people☑️ Technology detoxConnect with Ken Jee:

https://youtu.be/mh78xToElC8Enjoy! 🎙56 min - Becoming Great at CSS with Kevin Powell
CSS. In my experience developers have a love/hate relationship with it.
It can be fun and rewarding to implement an awesome design. But it can also be frustrating.
Kevin Powell is one of the few people I know that truly loves CSS. To the point where he’s been teaching others through his YouTube videos for the last 5 years! If you really want to become expert in something, teach it to others. Kevin took that notion to the next level and the results are truly amazing. 🙌
A few of the topics, in order 💬
☑️ Working together with designers☑️ CSS challenges/battles☑️ Kevin is self-taught☑️ CSS frameworks☑️ Mobile first implementationsConnect with Kevin Powell:

https://youtu.be/3MRWBahy02UEnjoy! 🎙59 min - Habits, Decentralisation and Decentralised Systems with Merlijn Boogerd
Merlijn Boogerd shares how he’s always been fascinated by Decentralisation and Decentralised Systems.
I love the Wikipedia example he gives. A group of people came together and created this system and the ability to change information is completely open and public. Decentralised in that way. It’s become one of the cornerstones in how we find information.
Wikipedia is 20+ years old though…
What other benefits could Decentralised Systems offer nowadays?We discuss all of that and more! In order 💬
☑️ 80% of humans behaviour is habitual☑️ Decentralised Systems☑️ Benefits of Public Data☑️ Crowdsourcing Software Development☑️ Decentralised Building BlocksConnect with Merlijn Boogerd:
