Writing code that runs without errors—and without all the bugs that only show up when the program runs—is hard enough. But teaching others to write code and understand the underlying concepts takes a deeper understanding. Now imagine doing that for 37 courses. 

On this sponsored episode of the podcast, Ben and Ryan talk with Bharath Thippireddy, a VIP instructor at Udemy who has taught more than half a million students. We talk about how he went from a humble Java developer to one of Udemy’s top instructors (and a budding movie star!). Along the way, we discuss whether Java or Python is better for beginners and how to balance theory with syntax. 

Episode notes:

Like a lot of today’s content creators, Bharath got his start posting videos on his Youtube channel in 2012.

Today, you can find all of Bharath’s courses on his Udemy page.

You can find out more about Bharath from his website or connect with him on LinkedIn. 

Udemy is one of our launch partners for our online course recommendations.

Jordan Burris, Vice President of Public Sector Strategy at Socure and the former Chief of Staff to the Federal CIO joins the show to unpack some of the important elements of the recent National Cybersecurity Strategy and proposed measures to combat pandemic-related fraud. We also talk about what he learned during his time in government that has helped him become a true partner to public sector entities and how his childhood helped shape the passion he has for equitable service delivery for all Americans.

Liam Patterson has been an entrepreneur since the early days of his life. He was the kid that was selling sweets at school, undercutting the local store. He journeyed into e-commerce as he got older, continuing his entrepreneurial journey. Outside of tech, he is a runner and is into fencing. Recently, he completed his first marathon, after training for about a year. In regards to fencing, he started when he was a kid, and did it all the way through college - which is actually where he met his now co-founder.

Liam's prior business was a print on-demand company, which allowed locally printing and shipping. As they scaled that business, they came to be hooked on Google Shopping and started using off the shelf tech to manage the campaigns. They found them to be lacking, and eventually built their own - and it became their competitive advantage.
