In this episode, I sat down with Joe Dubois,  a multi-talented musician and software engineer who made the bold move to Los Angeles to immerse himself in the vibrant music scene. With a unique background that spans from studying physics to mastering software engineering, Joe shares his  fascinating journey of balancing two seemingly different worlds.

What We Discuss:

• The LA Move: Joe talks about the decision to relocate to Los Angeles, driven by a deep passion for music and a desire to be closer to the heart of the industry.
• From Physics to Software: We dive into his  academic journey, starting with a degree in physics and how that foundation led to a career in software engineering. 
• Blending Passions: Joe opens up about how he  manages to balance his love for music with a thriving career in tech. We explore the parallels between creating music and writing code, and how each discipline influences the other.
• The LA Music Scene: Hear Joe’s insights on what it’s like to be a part of the LA music community and his creative process behind his music.

Whether you're a music enthusiast, a tech professional, or someone curious about blending creative and technical careers, this episode offers a unique perspective on following your passion and forging your own path.

Have you ever thought about what skills a manager should have in order to be considered "good"? Not everyone is cut out for management naturally, but there are key traits that managers who excel in their field possess.

In this episode, I'm joined by Beth Carter, the solopreneur behind Running Dialogue. This is the podcast's first repeat guest, and I was so happy to have the opportunity to speak with Beth again. She and I independently thought of 5 key skills that a good manager should have and came together to discuss our lists in this episode. Beth comes from an extensive management background where she encountered many exceptional leaders who helped mold her into her own version of greatness. Meanwhile, I have not been a people manager in my career, nor have I been fortunate to have many great mentors along the way. Tune in to see how our lists compare and why we chose the skills we did.
