It is great to have you back here. This time our guest will be one of my favourite mentors and a guy that I look up to a lot. Welcome Jordan Carroll to "Now What?". This episode is a little different than the others because Jordan's story is unique. He worked for IBM but he is now based in Mexico, living the good life, and practicing as a remote job coach. We are going to touch on many things like the importance of belonging, creating a network, winning the interview process, navigating a company from within... but also a lot about self development.
Hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :)

We are going to cover a lot about Data Science (especially how to start out and break into the field), but there is so much more in the conversation. I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did :)

Hello everybody!
This is the first episode of my podcast "Now What?", The podcast is meant for student or recent grads and aims to explore life inside the greatest companies in tech. I want to tease out their secrets and tactics in order to give the audience valuable tips before entering the “real” world. In this way they can prepare at the best. This is the “commercial" purpose, but what I am truly interested in is the PEOPLE of the company: their story, their passions, and what pushes them throughout the day. At the end, I am just a guy who wants to learn from people I admire and I am sure the audience will get value from it.
Enjoy!
