Episode 1: Mark Thompson - Don't be Afraid of the Process

Welcome to the very first episode of It's Not The Pipeline Podcast! I'm so excited to finally bring this show to you all, I've been working really hard to make sure this show focuses on helping our community, the underrepresented.

I'm hoping that these conversations that are full of great advice, tips, and techniques can help you move forward as you continue your personal journey in tech, science, business, or anywhere else

Today on the show I'm speaking with Mark Thompson. Mark is a software engineer, a family man, an entrepreneur, an award winning university instructor, as well as Developer Advocate on the Angular Team at Google.

We talk about a range of really interesting topics focused on:

- Raising children as a busy developer
- His app "Totally Strong" that he build in a matter of 30 days (DAMN) and how he did it
- Techniques for staying productive by actually taking breaks
- Tips on learning new things and how they can be incorporated into leveling yourself up

This was such a great interview, and I'm really grateful to have Mark on as the first guest of this show.

Here's to the first episode and to many more episodes afterward!
