"Software engineers are going to rule the world one day, and if you're not going to be one of them, you need to be friends with them."

Sage advice from our guest this week, Denae Bauer, who - as the Global Training Program Manager at Amazon Web Services (AWS) - will surely be identified as "one of the good ones" when the software engineers do finally rise up and assume their rightful role as rulers of the free world.

While being a global training manager at a gigantic tech company may not sound like the most purpose-driven of jobs, Denae does a great job of pulling out the specific things within her job that connect directly with her passions: building community, helping people develop new skills, and traveling. We talk a lot on the podcast about how "dream jobs" have as much do with what you bring to them as they do with what the jobs actually entail and Denae clearly brings a TON of passion and enthusiasm to her role at Amazon. We also talk to Denae about her experience co-hosting the At Your Cervix Podcast, which she describes as an ongoing conversation between her and her friend Vanessa (our guest next week!) about all things all things women’s, mental, and sexual health.

From a discussion of "nightmare jobs" to recommendations about how often it's okay to cry under your desk at work to a conversation about the things that happen when toddlers start talking about "their parts"...we pack a lot into the episode this week. Give it a listen! And then get #backtowork
