Lift Off with Aman Manazir

I’ll be honest, I’m reviewing for a free copy of Alex hormozi’s book, however, I think the offer alone is genius, hence, my first podcast review, as well as, me being motivated to listen to the podcast, and learn more about Karat, and the two speakers/hosts. I’m glad I was able to gain insights and awareness on this podcast.

I’ve noticed how Aman allows guests to tell their early stories in a chronological way that often gives us the chance to glean insights into why they may have ended up where they are. For instance, in the Sarah Pan episode, I particularly liked how Aman gives her plenty of time to speak about her upbringing. I feel that this more relaxed style allowed for us to later hear details about how she got into CS, pivoting from a Mech E/design focus, driven by her environment and belief in what the career could potentially offer. These thoughts are honest and really relatable for people like myself who are early tech professionals. I notice the same patterns in the podcast with Steve Huynh, who talks openly about his difficult entry into SWE.

My first listen was on the episode with Steve from A Life Engineered. Quality stuff.

I enjoy listening to these podcasts as a software engineer. As it’s well known, the golden age of hiring for the profession is long behind us, but the startup market is booming. These podcast give practical advice to an aspiring founder like myself
