React Podcast 47: Develop Your Career with Kent C Dodds
Kent C Dodds is a blogger, podcaster, open sorcerer, and community builder that recently made the leap to full-time, self-employed educator.
Chantastic asks about the approach Kent took while developing his career PayPal, what he had to give up to stay focused, and what's changed now that he's independent.
They discuss learning by teaching, the importance of being consistent, avoiding the permission trap, and what it means to "increase the impact of your value".
