episode 82: Amanda Richardson, CEO of CoderPad: How I Became CEO Just by Asking and Learning to Share What You Want
Amanda Richardson, CEO of CoderPad
Amanda says her career has been a windy journey. She admits that, at times, she didn't have a clear career path and has primarily created opportunities for herself. It's paid off, as she was hired to become the CEO of a high-performing startup she didn't start.
We learn how she became CEO and how a frank conversation with a recruiter proved to be a significant catalyst. Amanda also explains what it's like to interview to become a CEO and even how it feels to lay off your entire team because the startup is shutting down.
