The worst thing that would happen is you learn something new along the way - Michael Matias

Absolutely love that phrase. Very grateful to have gotten to speak to Micheal on the podcast, it was great to learn about his journey and his book: Age is only an int – book, Matias encourages readers to believe that age should not be measured in the number of years lived but in the capacity to learn and grow from every opportunity and challenge.

We talked about the lessons he learned as a young entrepreneur, his key insights from interviewing leaders on his 20 Minute Leaders podcast, time management, and what work-life balance would look like to him.

We also talked about whether everyone should be developing technical skills at this time. Why learning how to code isn't just for programmers and a lot more!!
