KC Rivera and I used to work together back in 2018, and in catching up with her recently I found out that she's a huge fan of one of my shows. And as a brand new podcast guest I had her on to talk about her background in software development, along with the path she's working on in her career. She's got some neat perspectives on what makes a true leader, what leadership looks like in a software development capacity and how she's blending education and training into what she's doing now. A student of the FIRE movement, she's got knowledge of how to live financially independently, which turns out is a great way to mitigate fear in the corporate workplace. Lots to get into here, so let's jump into the episode. After listening, if you'd like to contact her, find KC Rivera on LinkedIn and follow more about her quest to educate people and impact the lives of as many of them as she can.
