Majority of Work
Let's unravel the human side of tech jobs together. At the end of the day, the majority of work involves other people.
We answer the practical question: As a software engineer, how do I improve my people skills? And why? We have interviews with a wide range of tech professionals, host Q&As, and provide you with insights that are immediately practical, honest, and most importantly, always worth your time.

08 // HOW to Get People to Listen to You (on Stage or on Zoom) with Vince Pierri
Vince Pierri, a Public Speaking Coach by night and Lead Pastor by day, breaks down how to be a captivating speaker — during a demo, a project pitch, and on stage.
In our fun, rambly episode, we cover:
- how to make people remember (and even do!) what you say
- how to come up with analogies if you're not good at it
- how to grab people's attention from the beginning
- how to be persuasive in every day conversation
- how learnable soft skills are (or not)
Persuasion is a skill that can be learned. Tune in as we dive into how we can improve, especially as software engineers.
