What Matters, Episode 22: Finding Your Path with Bryan Liles
Navigating the world of tech can be difficult. What programming language should I learn? What technology will move my career forward? How do I get paid the big bucks?
Often, we see what we want when we look to our leaders.
In this episode of What Matters, PJ sits down with Bryan Liles, principal engineer with VMware, to talk about how he built a career and how he empowers others to achieve their best — even with the deck stacked against them.
What Matters, Episode 22: Finding Your Path
Bryan and PJ have a storied past of coming up together in tech. Here, they share some of the stories of starting out, and Bryan gives excellent advice to those beginning their journey. The first point of which is this: Your career IS a journey — not a rocket ship ride to the top.
Have a listen for some great career advice and perspectives from someone who has moved forward every step while accepting the feeling of being an outsider and handling it the only way he knew how: by including everyone he met along the way.
