Jason first took us to his past as the lead singer of a band. There he did the marketing for the band on the side. That was his introduction to web-development. He explained how he slowly but surely made his side hustle his main job, and described the thinking process between "playing safe" or "betting on himself". Jason described his success... and how close he came to burning out. And we talked about "failure". He then described the ways he prevents this to ever happen again. We finally discussed his move toward Developer Relations (DevRel) and live-streaming.
