STEM empowerment.

A few years ago, I completely dedicated myself to #STEM empowerment.

I left a lucrative job to struggle for years to make money with my unconventional mission - to inspire a generation's interest in STEM careers.

I am proud to say that I am on track to surpass my former tech job's income for first time this year!

Two valuable lessons here:

1) STEM skills give you "next gen job security" - Despite COVID, the skillset I've been developing allowed me to quickly pivot and build creative solutions that businesses were willing to pay for.

2) Don't be like me! - Find a way to make your passion project make money prior to leaving your job lol. I definitely didn't have to struggle as hard as I did.

The key is to be willing to fail publicly and spectacularly. Don't overthink it.

Attack discomfort til you LACK discomfort.
