The Most Important Skill To Learn In The...

Dan Koe
About this episode

Devon Eriksen, author of Theft of Fire, grew up surrounded by images of space, brought home to him by his father, an engineer at JPL. After decades as a software engineer, the unwavering encouragement of his wives presented an opportunity to pursue his childhood dream of being an author. He began writing stories with a single overarching goal: give the reader something to love. In this podcast, we discuss the future-proof skill stack, how intelligence doesn't equal success, how to navigate the world of AI, becoming an independent author and creator, and more. ––– Devon Eriksen ––– Read Theft Of Fire: https://www.amazon.com/Theft-Fire-Orbital-Space-1/dp/1962514021/?tag=devoneriksen-20
