Hey, before we start the show, I'd like to give a shout out to a very special sponsor of the Code Story podcast.

And that's Dev Mountain.

Dev Mountain is one of the highest rated coding schools in the country, employing experts who are passionate about sharing their craft and empowering the next wave of programmers.

Through their boot camp, they accelerate education by focusing on modern skills to align their

students with the needs of the tech industry.

They offer a variety of courses from web development to U.S. design to iOS development.

And their hands-on approach enables students to launch their careers or build their startups,

and ultimately to achieve their goals.

I can personally vouch for the quality developers they produce,

having hired six graduates from their Dallas campus.

Not only does Dev Mountain teach the practical skills needed to build software,

they give their students a foundation to amplify the necessary

creative thinking, problem solving, and project-focused skills required for tech professionals

today. You can find out more information about their programs and how to sign up at devmountain.com.

requesting something to be tweaked to make their life a little bit easier.

I'm speaking at this many conferences this year and my business is

doing this much money this year. At some point, it's important to learn how to relax and rest.
