Today I had the pleasure of interviewing Patrick Akil. Patrick is a software engineer, consultant, and host of the @Beyond Coding Podacst. In this episode we learn about Patrick’s unique view on taking risks early in your career, we also learn some best practices for having difficult communication with your bosses and peers, and finally we learn about the very opportunistic way he was able to become the host of the beyond coding podcast. I loved this conversation and if you want to hear more of us talk, I was on his show a few weeks ago and that episode is linked in the description. Now on to our talk.
