Off the Record with Brian Murphy

Cracking the Code: Victoria Vo’s Path to Entrepreneur, Social Media Stardom


Listen Later

I’ve been in the coding and CDI worlds since 2004, and in that time watched the rise of Facebook, YouTube and other social media. And as early 2011 or so I began to wonder, will anyone pair these two together?

When will see our first social media creator in the world of medical coding, making it his or her full-time gig?

I’m pleased to say that the day has arrived. Victoria Vo is a Medical Coding Educator, Auditor, YouTuber, Entrepreneur, and founder of Contempo Coding, LLC. Her YouTube channel has 187,000 subscribers and she's created close to 600 videos, some of which have racked up more than half a million views.

If you’ve met or seen Victoria you know this did not happen by chance. She’s a natural educator, charismatic and personable. But she’s also very knowledgeable about coding, passionate about the profession, and an outspoken industry advocate. We get into all this and more in a very social episode of Off the Record.

On this show we discuss:

  • Victoria’s coding origin story
  • Contempo Coding, the business and what it’s about
  • Becoming a creator: Challenges and early side-hustle successes, timeline to earning her first $, and how she left coding to become full-time entrepreneur
  • Three times she was recognized as a coding celebrity outside of AAPC conferences
  • Advice for someone who wants to pursue content creation
  • A joint ChatGPT rant (we both sound off on how we use it, and see it abused)
  • What makes for a good coding professional
  • Other fun stuff including her top resources and Off the Record Spotify playlist selection
