Coffee and Bytes is a podcast focused on sharing interesting stories. No fluff.
Every episode I talks with folks from all walks of live that have interesting stories to share. As someone in the world of Tech, there may be some more tech focused and leadership content. But that’s not all.
It could be a story of how it all started, could be about a cool toll/company the guest build, could be about something they tried or learned, or something I am super curious about and have no idea how it worms.
My goal is to share interesting chats with all of you.
