It’s always interesting when you meet people who’ve made dramatic shifts from one field into another — in this episode, we speak with a scientist who made a spectacular, successful and exciting leap into the tech world. You may have heard of the company where guest David Glick ended up: a little startup they call Amazon!

Key takeaways from the Podcast are:

• The layer cake of leadership (how to enhance and advance your tech career).
