Even Jedi Master Yoda could not foresee the future accurately, but there are always signs and portents of what is to come if you look carefully at the present. Jim and Liron look back at their podcast’s inaugural year, discuss their upcoming lineup of guests for 2022 (spoiler alert: it’s gonna be awesome!), and chat about leading-edge trends on the immediate horizon for the New Year.

You’re a brilliant coder / developer, but you’re frustrated because your team doesn’t seem to listen to your ideas to improve the organization. Maybe – just maybe – it could be that your soft skills are seriously lacking. Liron and Jim chat with Microsoft MVP Bruno Borges, whose diverse career accomplishments and multinational background gives him unique insight into navigating the world of modern IT organizations, and discuss the best ways to attain those soft skills. Spoiler: you can only gain them through meaningful human interaction!
You don’t have to have a sense of humor to survive in IT, but it helps. Jim and Liron talk about different cultures they’ve encountered during their careers, and their occasionally embarrassing experiences with the most difficult language to master in IT: English.

If you’ve ever sat through a horribly boring presentation – whether live or virtually – it’s truly the fault of just one person: the presenter. Jim and Liron chat with their guest and extremely popular public speaker Connor McDonald about why presenting today is really all about telling your audience a story in which they emerge victorious at the end. They also dish on content that isn’t relevant any more for modern presentations, and why you may not even need slides at all, as long as you’ve taken the time to first engage and connect with your audience.
A common question we get from newbie speakers is, How many slides should I have, and how many bullet points on each slide? The answer: That’s precisely the wrong question! Jim and Liron talk with their guest Luiza Nowak, a recognized expert with a background in marketing and teaching people how to present effectively. Luiza explains how presenters often overload their sessions with too much detail - what she likes to call “slidedocs” – and explains techniques for telling your story to your audience to maximize your message’s impact.
Looking to expand your network? Build a personal brand? Meet new colleagues? Even learn new stuff you’d normally never have a chance to? One of the best ways is presenting – really, storytelling - at virtual and public events. Jim and Liron discuss how they overcome imposter syndrome as well as stage fright (spoiler alert: yes, they both have it!). If you’re new to presenting, they also offer advice on getting started with storytelling and how to submit your story so you’ll have the best chance at getting noticed and accepted.
You might as well learn to love your data because it’s gonna outlive your code. Liron and Jim talk with Microsoft MVP Karen Lopez about her fascinating career as a real-life data engineer and current NASA DataNaut. Karen explains her historical viewpoint as a pioneer of women in technology (#WIT), how she developed her unique personal online brand (Twitter handle: @datachick), and reveals her super-powers for dealing with trolls on social media.
Jim and Liron talk with Danny Bryant about his experiences growing up in the heart of the “New South” – Atlanta, GA – his experiences during his college days at Georgia Tech, and the journey he’s undertaken during his professional career. Danny also chats about his actions to empower other young Black engineers through organizations like /dev/color. Even more importantly, Danny explains what it means when someone from the South looks you in the eye and says “Bless Your Heart.”
Boomers. Gen-X. Millennials. Jim and Liron chat with our guest Jessica Sharp to discuss the way our different generations look at the world, our careers, and even problem-solving (spoiler alert: not necessarily divergent). We also talk about how mentorship is crucial to building a team of professionals, and how treating our colleagues with respect regardless of age, gender, or background creates cohesion and purposefulness.
Jim and Liron talk with Heli Helskyaho – or, as she’s better known on Twitter, @HeliFromFinland – about her experiences as CEO of her own IT company in Europe and how she has faced the challenges of increasing DEI in technology. Along the way, she shares her insights on hiring the best talent, pursuing personal excellence, and building work-life balance.
Born in India, raised in Nigeria, studied in England, lived in Scotland and now settled in Canada, Jim and Liron talk with their colleague Oti Ometie about his experiences as he emigrated to Canada from Africa and built a successful career in North American IT. We’ll chat about the benefits of multiculturalism, what it’s like to experience “Snowmaggeddon” in Manitoba, but also how it is to be an immigrant, different from others and the challenges it brings.
Imagine if your first serious IT job meant flying 24 hours straight halfway across the world … and you’ve never even been on an airplane before. Liron and Jim chat with their guest, Biju Thomas, on how he built a successful IT career after coming to the USA in 1995. We’ll share his tales of culture shock and his unique viewpoints during a 25-year journey of self-discovery.
Jim and Liron discuss how they ascertain the depth of a candidate’s technical skill sets during the last part of the interview, sharing their personal experiences with letting the resume itself drive the depth and breadth of the technical questions they ask. On the candidate’s side, they discuss what to do in certain situations you might find yourself in an interview and how to make the best of it.
Liron and Jim dive into the interview itself. In this episode they cover the first part of the interview: getting to know each other. In the general part of the interview they will discuss what to talk about and also what not to talk about, general questions that might come up, and how to lead up to the technical part.
Jim and Liron focus on how a candidate should begin their quest for a new position, including how to decide what you’re looking for in general as well as how to dig deeply into what your next prospective company offers. They also explain how best to prepare for an upcoming interview that’s specific to a particular company or organization.
It’s hard to get good help these days, and the reason is many interviewers are simply inexperienced or unsure about how to look at a resume critically to form perspectives on what identifies a great candidate. Liron and Jim talk about a process to review candidates’ resumes and construct meaningful questions for an upcoming interview.
Based on their combined experiences in the technology field, Jim and Liron talk about what should be present in your resume and how to best organize it so that it stands out among the stacks of resumes that a hiring manager is typically wading through.
Liron and Jim kick off a series of episodes on interviewing for Information Technology (IT) positions by discussing what an interview really should do: Reveal both the candidate and the hiring organization to each other via a conversation to determine if there’s a proper fit and finish.
Liron Amitzi and Jim Czuprynski introduce their podcast, discuss the soft skills side of IT, describe their backgrounds, and why this podcast is so relevant to the state of our industry today.
