Creating Your Encore Career

161: My Love/Hate Relationship with Technology

Sep 15, 2022

I’ve always been fascinated by technology. I’ve also always been fascinated by working with people.

As a classic Industrial Engineer, my whole career revolved around exploring how people and systems (aka, technology) come together to make things happen.

Early in my career, I learned several different programming languages. I was an early adopter of the PC. Later on, when I didn’t see the use case for something or was forced to learn some technology, I wasn’t as eager about it. My company installed a business and operations software called SAP towards the end of my career and I wasn’t a fan of it.

Now that I’m creating my Encore Career, it’s all up to me. I don’t have anyone to “handle” the tech for me. I’m an entrepreneur and I’ve got to learn it on my own. 

In this episode, I dive into this further and discuss my love/hate relationship with technology.

We'll dive deeper into these concepts:

  • Some of the struggles I’ve had with technology.
  • How I’ve started to “get my arms around” all the tech out there.
  • Broad categories of technology you may need in your Encore Career.
  • The importance of having a network around you.
  • How to prevent yourself from getting overwhelmed about technology.
