Full Stack Journey 074: Going The Distance – What Running Can Teach Us About Careers

Podcast: Download (41.0MB) | Embed

On today’s Full Stack Podcast, Scott is joined by Krithika Chandramouli, a software engineer at Meta, to discuss how the lessons she learned while preparing to run her first-ever half-marathon also apply to careers and career decisions.

The podcast is loosely structured around this Medium post by Krithika. Some of the lessons we discuss include:

  • Just get started
  • Your progress may be non-linear
  • The 3 C’s (Consistency, Commitment, and Continuity)

Scott and Krithika also dive into the relationship between consistency and one’s progress toward a goal, and how understanding the “why” behind a goal you want to achieve can help provide the motivation to achieve it.
