Are you stuck in a career you hate and wondering if it’s too late to switch into tech?

In this episode, Brian shares how he left a 10-year career in education, took a pay cut, and broke into IT in his 30s, without a traditional tech background.

If you’re burned out, unhappy at work, or questioning whether you can realistically transition into IT, this conversation will show you what that pivot actually looks like. We talk about the doubts, the late-night studying, building hands-on skills with projects like a Raspberry Pi, landing a Tier 1 help desk role, and what really helped him stand out with no prior experience.

This isn’t a “get rich quick” tech story.
It’s a real one.

Whether you’re considering a career change into IT, help desk, cybersecurity, or just trying to figure out your first step into tech, this episode will give you clarity and momentum.
