Episodes

  • Ep 26: John Potess: Digital Nomad, Remote Work, and Podcasts

    26/07/2019 Duration: 43min

    This week we talked to our good friend, John Potess - a talented developer, sound engineer, and entrepreneur. After getting out of school and working for local agencies, John decided that there must be something better than the stress of the 9-to-5, and decided to go contract while taking the opportunity to travel with his wife. With that, John was able to prioritize his time, working on passion projects, and even now moving to the beautiful country of Portugal. John tells us about some of the projects he's working on, and gives tips on how you too can become a digital nomad. https://thepodcastcreative.com https://www.facebook.com/thepodcastcreative https://positivetechjobs.com https://gitcontacts.com https://johnpotess.com Book recommendation: Company of 1 john@thepodcastcreative.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/techmilldenton/support

  • Ep 15: Juli James - Journalism, Game Engines, and Women Who Code

With a background in journalism, Juli treaded a decision to either focus on her journalism career or going into academics. Of course, then her and her colleagues received a grant to develop a game engine for journalists while moving to Texas which they eventually turned into a new company, Playable Media. Juli is also a big advocate to support and empower women in technology by leading the local Denton chapter for Women Who Code through regular workshops and meetups. We talk to Juli about all things journalism, game design, education, and how the heck you even build a game engine this week on the TechMill Podcast.
