The Mycelium Network Podcast with Schalk Venter - Episode 007

In the podcast’s sixth episode, I speak with Schalk Venter. In our far-reaching conversation, we talk about ending up in tech by accident without a formal background. Civic tech and doing good using tech where it makes sense. We ask hard questions, such as how we solve real-world problems using a combination of community and technology. The importance of abstract thinking and a problems solving mindset, the role of open source in education, and being honest about being human. We also discuss the future value of creating more new content or curating and creating learning paths using all the existing great content. The Mycelium Network podcast is made with the fantastic Descript and Riverside. Transcripts of the episode are available on GitHub.
