Nicole breaks the bedroom geek image someone might have of a coder. She's passionate about software development and on an intensive bootcamp getting her coding skills honed. Nicole is early on in her career but what I loved when I discovered her - she's got a clear vision for sharing her journey in real time and being up front about the challenges of start up culture.

We talk about steps of courage that changed her path. Making the leap from psychology graduate to learning code. And once she found herself in a tech start up, deciding to move on from a hustle led work environment. Nicole is carving a clear path - she feels leadership is an exciting key in unlocking a richer range of tech ideas for the future. She's keen to see the barriers to entering tech reduce.

WHO'S BEHIND THIS PODCAST?

I'd ridden pretty high on the creative career rollercoaster. At times it was exhilarating (and occasionally it was terrifying.) It takes stamina, guts and more than a smattering of resilience. Don’t panic, this isn’t another podcast telling you to hustle harder. I’ve been there and got the burnout badge to prove it.

I'm looking to find people who are doing the work they love, but it's been a bumpy ride.

Starting over can be wonderful, agony and pants shakingly scary all at the same time. There are others who did it. Who are right in the centre of figuring that out. I'm trying to find the people, I needed to hear, at the time I felt I was free-falling from the loop-di-loop.
