New podcast Effectively Human is built for software developers and teams with devs looking to effectively enter, survive, and thrive in the tech world. We are kicking off Season 1 by tackling: After Code School.
Host Morgan Lopes has a decade of entrepreneurial and development experience. As acting Cofounder of Polar Notion, Technology for the Real World, CTO of New Story Charity, and partner in several other tech endeavors doing good, he's ready to share all his secrets. He believes that caring about the people behind the code and the culture that builds the technology, lifts everyone team and client alike. And he's going to teach you how.

[00:00:00] Technology is powerful. [00:00:30] It's complex. The speed of change is accelerating. People are struggling to keep up. If you've ever felt unprepared, overwhelmed, or frustrated with technology, this exists for you. We break down complex concepts and give you a fighting chance. I'm your host Morgan Lopes. Our goal is to close the knowledge gap between technology and the people who use it.
I've been in the technology industry for almost 10 years. I've built hundreds of apps and I can tell you [00:01:00] from firsthand experience, more custom technology is not the answer. If you're going to make a difference in the lives of the people that technology seeks to serve, it starts with increasing our understanding and squashing, the barriers. It's about comfort, not more code. I'm starting a podcast to help people bridge the gap into technology.
And uncover the myths, the frustrations, and all of the unknowns that pile up and become barriers to people, the industry. I want to tear those apart. I want to make it more approachable for [00:01:30] all. I want to give more clear, actionable next steps so that as people walk through this unpredictable journey, they have both an anchor and a compass to travel through the industry.
There is a lot of information out there and at times it can feel like you're drinking from a fire hose. I want to provide clarity. Among the chaos. I don't think there is a right answer. It is not one size fits all. I also don't think that's good or bad. Sometimes we need a little prompt in a direction, and I [00:02:00] hope to provide that for those in need.
We'll be sharing new resources, tips, analogies, and other ways, of breaking down the complex concepts of tech and making it something anyone can digest. Whether you're exploring a code school, transitioning from another industry or unsure of what the next step is for you. Go ahead and send us your thoughts, questions, and concerns.
We are focused on the principles and concepts to help you thrive. Visit us online at effectivelyhuman.tech. We are [00:02:30] all on a journey to become effectively human, but you are not alone. I'm here to help.
