In this episode, Shawn Jones, developer at Tighten and Launchcode alumnus, talks with us about being makers and builders, specifically, in the literal sense. He shares with us the freedom and empowerment that physically building something as a hobby can bring, including the learning process of doing something new, and goes over some of his own personal projects which listeners can currently follow. In today's modern world, we have more access to tutorials, classes, and all manner of information gathering than ever before. Shawn encourages us to take advantage of the tools available to us and make something purely for the sake of it. We also discuss the idea of legacies and how we can each leave our own by making a positive impact in the lives of others.
