Description

In this episode, we have two incredible guests. My good friends Johanna and Juha Mikkola.

Johanna and Juha are the husband-wife founding team of Wyncode Academy - the leading technical school in South Florida dedicated to training top technology talent through best-in-class programs based out of the Wynwood area of Miami. 

With various courses in web development, digital marketing and UX/UI fundamentals, Wyncode’s curriculum prepares students to compete in the Miami and National job arena, and this demonstrated by their 90% job placement rate for 2018 and over 350 hiring partners. 
 
Juha and Johanna built Wyncode Academy to embolden individuals with technical skills and help them stand out as leaders in the tech world in South Florida and beyond.

I had a blast doing this episode with Jo and Juha. I’ve worked with them in the past and I can’t say enough good things about not just their program and the quality of the talent there, but also of them as individuals. These are two of my favorite people and they've got a ton of insight around so many topics.

In this episode we talk about: 

• the origins of how they started Wyncode
• why every business these days is a technology business 
• the struggles of building and scaling a startup
• some of the top lessons that they've learned when building their company
• some dos and don’ts when it comes to raising venture capital
• their thoughts on the local tech scene in Miami
• and much, much more...

Hope you enjoy the episode!
