You can choose. You're in control. And so when it comes to your life, you're the only one who's going to make change happen for yourself. So be assertive and make that change beautiful. Yeah. A lot of people are afraid, like, if you speak up, you might get fired and that might happen. But ironically, what usually happens is, like, oh, this person actually is proactive, is assertive, and it earns a lot of respect. Right? Yeah. Hello, and welcome to the Pibytes podcast, where we talk about Python career and mindset. We're your hosts. I'm Julian Sequeira. And I am Bob Valdebos. If you're looking to improve your python, your career, and learn the mindset for success, this is the podcast for you. Let's get started. Welcome back to the Py Bytes podcast. This is Julie, and I'm here with Bob. How you going, man? Very good. Hello. Waving for YouTube. Waiting for YouTube. I love it. So we. We are back with a very special episode. What is it? You say it's special every week, but why is this one special? This is episode 100. I wish we were. No. Okay. Episode 101. We're zero based. We're zero based index kind of guys, so, yeah, it is number 100. And you can tell we're still a low budget, low budget production here, or we'd have, like, sound effects of, like, people cheering and all sorts of things like that. But that's a good reminder. You need to. No, it's just us. No. Okay. Style. Yeah, that's effort we don't need. Anyway, um, congratulations, man. 100. I'm just going to say 100. 100 episodes. Proud of us. How do you feel? I feel great. Especially knowing that we were procrastinating two years ago and say, like, nah, it's not good enough. Imposter syndrome. Should we really do it? This is dumb. Oh, I didn't say that. But he said, like, no good is good enough. Let's do it. And we did, and now it's like, two years in a running. And it's not only a podcast, it's probably one of the things we put out there that people like the most. So that's what I'm really happy about. Yep. I love it. And it's a. You know, given how busy we get now and how large pie bytes is growing, how quickly it's growing, it's actually one of our early times that we get to sit here and catch up. So part of this banter is actually catching up. Yeah. Yeah. We don't know what each other are reading before we. Before we chat here. So there you go. So for this very special episode, I just want to say, first of all, thank you. I know I said this last week as well because we had six years of pie bites. We were celebrating as well. But a huge thank you to everyone for listening every week. It's very special that we have so many people who tune in every week. Give us the feedback, request topics and just tell us that this was a delight to listen to while I drove to work, or I was showing my kids this and I was like, I bet with those guys, you know, those sorts of stories get walked with pie bites on earbuds, which is an honor. Yeah. Yeah. So we love it. So thank you for. And this is going to sound cheesy. Thank you for inviting us into your homes, your cars, your ears. Even as creepy as that sounds, um, that's a bit cheap. We appreciate it. Not if it comes from you, though. You know, the mindset, if it came from, you'd be tacky. But for me, it's okay. It wouldn't work with me. No. So to celebrate, we have some prizes. We'll talk about that in a minute. Well, in about ten minutes. Uh, but first, what we wanted to do, we thought what might be nice is, well, you're going to have to listen to it anyway. So just strap in and listen. We're going to share what some of our favorite episodes have been from the past 99 episodes or 100 episodes, you know what I'm saying? So we'll kick it off now. We've got about five each to share, I think. Yep. And we got about ten minutes. We're going to ten minutes. All right, set the timer point. Here we go. Here we go. So, Bob, start with at random one of episode twelve. How to say no. Perfect. Why? Why? Because as we said back then, and we're still 100% behind that. If you're not schedule your own day, week, month. Somebody else inevitably will. And, yeah, it's one of our favorite productivity things, protecting your schedule boundaries. And really be deliberate because it's true. Otherwise it's a vacuum and it will be taken over by others. And just. I will leave it at that. But saying yes to something, you also say no to something that might be more important. So if you say yes to yet another work meeting, you might be say no to your family. And if you phrase it that way, it's actually pretty painful. Or it's something to really think about. Yep. And makes it easy to say no. Yeah, I like it. Sure. Okay, my turn. Episode 65. So we're jumping all around here. This was with one of my best friends, Hannah Cook. So being your authentic self with Hannah Cook, I actually really enjoyed that episode. Not just because, you know, I was recording with Hannah, but it was, you know, life changing, you know, to hear someone talking about how important it is to be yourself, be. Bring your authentic self. Focus on the things that essentially your superpowers, the things that you bring to the table. Have that confidence, how to discover those things, what they are, and then how to embrace them as you bring yourself into meetings, into communications, into how you write, how you chat with people and so on and so forth. And it was. There were some really good tips in there. I remember I got a lot out of it. Hannah did do some shameless complimenting of me, which was always nice. I'm joking. I was not expecting that. But it was, yeah. Really great episode. If you haven't listened to it, that one's a must listen as well. So I am going to queue that up because I listened back then, really enjoyed it, and I will listen to it again. Yes. Since then, complimentary stuff. Well, you've stopped being your authentic self, so you should probably should listen to that again. What? All right, that's sharp. That's sharp, man. You're sharp. All right, that's two from zero for tech. So let's do some tech. Number 89 and number three on our list, practical Django with Antonio Millay. And Antonio wrote this epic staple, django by example, which is now Django four by example, because he regularly updates a massive Tome, which is kudos in itself. Right. Yeah, we had him on the podcast. Very interesting interview. I did the forward for the fourth edition, or Django Four edition, which I was really honored by that they asked me, and we recommend this book to anybody series about Django, which happens to happen a lot in PDM. Right. So a lot of people in PDM are reading this book, getting a lot of value out of it. So it's very practical. It's project based, don't consume it in a weekend. It's very. It's a brick. But yeah, again, I really like the practical approach and also that it teaches a lot of related topics in the. As a developer, as a Django developer salary async tasking docker, he goes into a lot of stuff. So in that episode you learn from a Django expert, the man behind the book. So very nice. Yeah, I enjoyed that one. And even more so, I enjoyed the book. So have not read it cover to cover. Just pick and choose what I need just in time learning. Okay, so on. On that note, hey, that's a perfect segue to the next episode. Episode one, our very first episode, other than the hello world episode of like, hey, we're making a podcast. No, this is number one, and number one for a reason, because it's the number one topic that people come to us with. The problem that they have when they seek coaching is that they are stuck in tutorial paralysis. So, fantastic episode. Even though it's, what, two years old now, it's still 100% relevant, still stands the test of time, and is still something that everyone we come across suffers from at some point, and definitely something we can find ourselves being slowly sucked back into, you know, but, you know, at least you and I, Bob, we. What's the word? Trained. And well trained enough that we catch it relatively quickly now, but we can definitely get there. Yeah, we're aware, but can still get you. So, yeah, check that one out. Tutorial paralysis, always relevant, timeless one. And definitely going to go back and. And see how rusty we were comparing it to how we do podcasting today. We do. Yeah. I bet you will be super wearing suits and ties and, oh, welcome back to the podcast. We really do it. Yeah, exactly. Yeah. Yeah. Which, again, comparison. Nice segue number, 566. Only compare yourself to your yesterday's self. Again, a very strong mindset. One also something we trained on over the years, but also still feel trap, get trapped by sometimes. For example, when I was doing the advent of code, I did pretty well, didn't finish it, but I went on twitch and saw people solving those challenges very rapidly, and I started to compare. Very bad, Bob. Very bad. So this still happens to us, right? And there's no point in comparing yourself to others. There will always be people faster, smarter. Well, with the outflow of code, actually, that was completely apple in origins because those were people trained to do these kinds of puzzles. Right. And puzzles is kind of a sub skill. You should compare to yourself. What did you do yesterday, the year before? Are you now better than your previous self? Right. And that's your only benchmark. If you start to compare yourself to others, it's just a recipe for misery and. Yeah, deflating your motivation. Yep, perfect. Got nothing else to say to that. Well, I mean, the thing is, if you're a twin, does it count just comparing? Because. I know. I'm joking because I've got my twin brother. Anyway. All right, so my next, next one, episode 88. And this one, one of my favorite people, Reese Powell, navigating the job hunt with Reese. So this was a very timely episode, especially given what's happening in the world. And definitely if you are finding yourself worried about your career, worried about what's happening just in the workplace, around the world, in the economy and everything, give this one a listen. Reese has fantastic tips on how to navigate the job hunt, how to sell yourself and protect yourself in the. In the process working. I think we talk on working with recruiters, that sort of stuff like that, but it was just a wonderful conversation. And as always with Reese, when we get chatting, the episode can no longer be 20 minutes, so. And I know there's plenty more where that came from. So he'll be back soon to continue the conversation. So if given we're at the start of the year, it's time for change for a lot of people. A lot of people re evaluating their careers. It's a fantastic episode to listen to. Yeah, Rees is amazing. And he talks the talk, walks the walk. Did you see his LinkedIn post? Yes, he landed a new job. Fantastic. Congratulations, Reese. Congratulations, Rhys. We love it. Reese is our go to guy for any career network, especially the networking side. He really has that down. And I love how, how blunt and honest he is. Yep. Exactly. And before we move on to the next one, while we're talking about, you know, moving into new roles, reevaluating what you're doing this year and stuff, this is the perfect time to seek coaching. Now, this is clearly a. We're going to cut to an ad in a second, but the reason I bring this up is because we're fully booked for January. We are fully. We're getting filled for February with coaching. And so, yeah, people are jumping all on it. They want to make the change in their lives this year. So let's jump to an ad real quick and then we'll be back. Hey, everyone, just a quick break for a message from our sponsors. And who's the sponsor today? Bob? Bye bytes. That's us. Yes, a message from us. We're sponsoring our own podcast, and this is a message from us just to tell you, go and check out the Pibytes developer mindset program. It's pretty good, isn't it, Bob? Yeah. What's cool about it? It will get you the results you are looking for in your python journey. Whatever your goal happens to be, this is the program for you when it comes to Python. We want to talk to you. We want to help you get there. And this program is going to do it. Bob, quickly, what are some of the things that people have achieved through the program. A high performance music API, a transcoding AI. SaaS app. Coinhub, an app to serve as a cryptocurrency portfolio tracker. Spike two PI, a data science package hosted on pypi payroll app, a SaaS application that simplifies payroll for small businesses. And my favorite, building confidence. Yes. Mindset. I love it. All right, if you haven't yet, click the link in the show notes, check it out, and let's get back to the episode. Awesome. All right, let's resume from here. So, number seven, the classroom pie bytes, the platform, which is still going strong five years after its inception. And you strategically put this here, I guess, because one of the goals is to grow the schools, but no, the first reason to pick this one, because this episode, number nine, how code challenge es is being used in the classroom, was just awesome. So it was with Kelly and Sean. They adopted the platform in the classroom. Students are all over it. They love it. The newbie bites, the gamification, and it's. Yeah, it's. We're just honored, humbled, and very excited that at that young age, they already get the exposure to python and what that will do for their young careers. Yeah, yeah, no, I love it. That's still one of my favorite episodes because just hearing about the kids using it, man, it's the best feeling ever. And again, one of my goals, to see this being used in countries all across the world. So love it. And Sean, they are awesome, right? We really enjoy working with them, and they have an amazing podcast as well, teaching Python. Right, of course. Exactly. All right, number eight. All right, so the next one is episode 73. And this is something I waffle on about a lot. It's the gift of time, and that's my favorite because I think it's a lesson and a reminder that we all need that. The greatest gift you can give anyone is your time, and it's relatively cheap. It doesn't cost you a cent in the sense of dollars and everything. You don't have to buy people gifts, but spending time with them. And that's why for things like Christmas and when we celebrate together as a family, I prefer to just make time for the family rather than buy a boatload of gifts. And so when we all spend time together, it's much more meaningful. That's from a family perspective, but when you do it from a perspective of your teammates, your colleagues, your people in your career, in your network, that's the stuff that, you know, means a lot to people, and they remember that so very powerful message in that episode. Awesome. Cool. Number nine, going back to Django. Learn by building. Number 70, how we built our own collaboration tool in Django. And why I highlighted that one is because it shows that we still scratch our own edge, we still keep building, iterating, developing. And actually that CMS tool we built has become super valuable in our business and we cannot even imagine because we had Asana and we had other tooling, but for some reason it was not really working for us. So this was an eye opener that if we could build our own and fully customize it, that would be highly valuable. And yeah, I taught you django through that. We did our PDM kind of stuff, coach and coachee, and it was just amazing. So every, every Wednesday was great. But, you know, the lesson I want to point out from that episode is that CMS tools exist. Plenty of them exist online. You know, in fact, this is the message we get to everyone is just because they exist out there doesn't mean you shouldn't try. You shouldn't just build your own. And we built our own to suit our needs and our workflow and how we operate. And that is the perfect use case for building anything. So that, that's a good point because often people come to us like, yeah, I want to build this, this tool that already exists. Right, and. But it will be your version. Well, you could even, even if you, if you manage to make 100% clone, it's still good learning. But yeah, we just started with a bunch of cards and commands and nothing. No rocket science. Right. But then we further build it out and it's now highly specialized, so. Exactly right. Okay, number ten, the last one, yours. Right. So this one, technology and mindset with our new PDM coach, Hugh tipping. That was episode 91, so only a few weeks ago, but definitely one of our favorites because one, Hugh is an amazing guy. So great stories from Hugh, great lessons from him. It's fantastic recording, fantastic episode, but more just as importantly, it's a special moment for us when we have someone go through our coaching program and then become one of the coaches. So hearing Hugh's story, hearing his journey, the technology, the mindset that goes with it is something that's really special. So enjoy that one. Listen to that and enjoy it. Yeah, awesome. Yeah. Cool. So before going on to part two, tips for making 2023 life changing, what do we have first? So the first thing, as a bit of reward for everyone, a bit of a competition per se, what we'd like you to do is if you listen to this podcast, and if you're hearing this, then you're listening to it. Send us through an email to info ibytes. The link will be in the description. Send us an email with your favorite episode and why it's your favorite. And, you know, just tell us the honest to God truth. You know, is it something that, was it just entertaining for you? Is it a lesson that you didn't know that meant a lot to you? Did it make some sort of an impact in your life? Did it make some changes? Whatever it happens to be, just tell us why that episode resonated with you. And we're going to pick three people whose responses that we think are awesome. So yes, a subjective choice. And we're going to send those three winners a pie bites t shirt. So there you go. Sweet. Some swag, some stuff from a store. Does by bets have a store? It does have a shop. Mugs, t shirts. We have some very cool stuff to hand out. And yeah, why it's your favorite episode. But maybe I would take it one step further. If you could apply it in your career or with your python and you got some sort of result from it, let us know. And, yeah, again, the most original, impacting stories. Nice. Those are the winners. Yeah. All right. All right. Moving on. Well, moving on. So now for the second part of this episode, we thought, well, we want to give you some value, not just list out our favorite episodes. So we've created a quick list, tips for making 2023 life changing for you. And these are some of our favorite tips, but just some stuff we've been thinking about as well. And we want to share some of that with you now as we kick off 2023. And so, Bob, you want to go first? Yep. Number one, identify with your skill and or goal. And I will keep this short because we had a dedicated email yesterday. It was pretty long email, which I'm also going to link in the show notes. But basically, skills and goals can be boring, and you're only going to succeed if you have motivation, right? So if you identify with the type of person you want to be, for example, if you have a health goal, you want to drop some weight and stuff, it's not sufficient to only say, like, I want to drop five kilos, whatever. No, if you identify yourself with, I'm a healthy person, so I'm not eating that unhealthy food. I don't drink a lot of alcohol in the evening, whatever. If you identify with that, well, let's actually bring it back to the python. So if you're a developer. Right. And we wrote that in the email, identify as being somebody that solves problem, that takes pride in their code, that is the go to person or that endorses quality code, that type of stuff. So really make it in your identity, identify yourself with the goal and skill and that will boost your motivation and yeah, then it will also be much easier to obtain. Nice. I like it. All right, number two. All right, so number two, this is my tip. We've talked about this tool very often on the podcast, but I think it's a tool that we need to implement very often, maybe once, twice a month at least, or maybe at most. So the tool is to use the time audit methodology and that is to go through your day and actually check where every hour of your day is going. So, you know, put it in a spreadsheet, do whatever you have to do, and then write down at the end of the day where did you spend, or maybe split up your day into quarters every couple of hours, do it and write down what you spent your time in that hour doing. And you probably find you're wasting a lot of time. Right. You might find at the end of the day that you spent 5 hours doing email or you checked your email six times in the day instead of just twice, you know, so it's a great tool for productivity. It's a great tool for claiming the hours back, especially when you sit there and say to yourself, I don't have enough hours in the day. When am I going to get that done? How am I going to learn that new skill? How am I going to do this? When you start thinking those things, do a time audit, see where your time's going and see how you can better be, be better organized with your day. There you go. Yeah, I cannot sustain doing that like every week, but it's a great tool, especially when you go off the rails and you want to get some awareness. Yeah. You start feeling burnt out or stressed and stuff. It's a great tool to find where you're messing up the day a bit. Warning, scary experience. Yeah, you're wasting time. Yeah. Eye opener. So leads on to the next one for you, Bob. Yeah, nice segue because I wanted to talk about systems again. Also an email I'm linking below and also want to give shout out to James Clear's atomic habits because identity and systems are clearly from his book and I'm rereading it and it's a staple for us in a productivity space. Right. So systems, what systems do you have put in place? And it's kind of like that. You mentioned the timeout because it's all about tracking. Right. So going back to the health goal, exercise is one thing, but you also, of course, have to look at your calories. Right. And you can just overeat very easily if you don't have tracking in place, because, as we always like to quote Peter Drucker, what gets measured gets managed. Right. So a system would be myfitnesspal. Right. And an app to track your calories. Right. And that's. You just make it a habit to use a tool like that, and hence you manage that better. Right. A very stupid, simple trick to drink more water. Well, have my little drink. How do you call this? Cup shaker. Yeah, yeah. On my desk. And I just like, oh, I need to get water. Right, that's a system. Right. So for python, that is read for 20 minutes a day and make it a habit to do the first thing in the morning. That could be a system. Yeah. Put the python book on your desk when you leave for the night. So the first thing you see the next morning is the book that you're supposed to read. That sort of thing. Yeah. So, yeah, we can talk for hours about this, but, yeah, put systems in place to make this deliberate and put those habits in place. Love it. Number four. Okay. So for me, the next one, which we've talked about, again, these are all things we've sort of mentioned in some way, shape or form before, is focus on what you can control. And I wanted to bring that one up, especially for 2023, because with the world the way it is, things are still pretty volatile all across the planet, whether it be inflation, the war in Ukraine, everything. Right? And there's an immeasurable amount of things happening outside of those two gigantic things that everyone has their minds on at the moment. So the key here is, you know, focus on what you can control. You know, don't let the world overwhelm you. It's not going to be an easy accept that we know that. And so what is it that you can do? What's within your control as you go through your day to day to make the world a better place, to be in control of what you do and how you feel. And it could be something like, one thing I'm doing with my kids is I'm collecting cans, like coke cans and stuff, and we're going to be recycling them through the. This return program and teach the kids about money, all that sort of stuff. But the reality is it makes us feel good. It's for the environment and it's really good. So just little things like that. What can you do? What's in your control? That's awesome. And to quickly bring it back to the Python developer arena, for example, you cannot control how a coding interview goes. Well, you can control in the sense the average you put in and how you perform, but you cannot control what the end result is, if they will give you the job or not. But what you can control is building up your portfolio, building apps, the number of applications you do. So that's all in your control. Right. And often you have more things you can control than you think. Right. Number five, are you failing enough comfort zone? Yeah, because we all have the comfort zone, and it's very nice there, and we tend to want to stay there. Right. But as we always say, in order to grow, you have to leave that comfort zone and do new things and, yeah, become a little bit afraid again and have that imposter syndrome take over. But that's actually a good sign. That means, like, you're doing something new, something you're not comfortable with. Right. And one thing I heard on the podcast, and, well, I guess we have said it as well, is you learn more from your failures than from your successes. So if everything goes moving nicely, you're probably not growing. So, yeah, it's failing is good, right? You need to seek failures. That's where you learn the most, and that's where you will grow the most. So are you failing enough? It's a good question to ask yourself this. January 2023. I love that. And that's just reminded me, we got to write this down on the list. Bob, an idea for another podcast episode is going to be about your passions, because we come across a lot of people who say, I don't have anything I'm passionate about, don't know what to do, and. Oh, you've written it down. There we go. Nice. See, there's a system we have in place. Private's all about systems. Love it. Tools. Yeah. Okay, so the next one from me, second last, is be assertive. And I know that's a generic comment, but when I say be assertive, I mean, think about the things that you're doing at work, right? Think about how many of those tasks are time wasters. And this goes back to the very first favorite episode, which was episode twelve, how to say no. So be assertive, say no, earn that respect. People who say no and speak up, they generally earn a lot of respect because it's like, oh, wow, they really respect their time, and they respect their boundaries. So, you know, we'll make sure that we. We respect them as well. So it's. It's not just about being assertive at work. It's about being assertive with everything that you do, everything that you want. Right. The squeaky wheel gets the grease. If you don't speak up. This year especially, you know, it's going to be. It's. I anticipate it's going to be tough on the job market. So speak up. When you get in the job interview, really tell them, I want that job. I want to work with you. I don't want to work somewhere else. I want to work here. Right. And tell them how you feel. Make sure you speak up. And another example here quickly is interest rates go up, mortgages going up through the roof. So be assertive. Get on the phone with the bank and tell them you want a cheaper interest rate. Tell them you'll go elsewhere, you know? And if they don't, then actually go elsewhere, you know, there's. You are the customer here. You can choose. You're in control. And so when it comes to your life, you're the only one who's going to make change happen for yourself. So be assertive and make that change beautiful. Yeah. A lot of people are afraid, like, if you speak up, you might get fired and that might happen. But ironically, what usually happens is, like, oh, this person actually is proactive, is assertive, and it earns a lot of respect. Right? Yeah, yeah. And actually, I thought of this one as we were preparing for this episode, because in Australia, they're launching a pay transparency law coming in that, you know, companies have to tell people what it is they pay for a role. And so that's a great time to be assertive and have that conversation and say, well, actually, I'm doing the exact same job as person x and Y and Z, and I'm getting paid$20,000 less than them, so I want to pay rise. Right. And this goes back to Reese episode, the job. Right. Like, you're not only. They're not only interviewing you, you also are interviewing them. Right, exactly. Yeah. Love it. Cool, cool. So a full circle there, but to say no at the start and at the end, your boundaries. I love it. I love it. So, last tip. What's the last one? So the last one? That was the last tip. This is the last request from us. We want you to seek coaching. Now, obviously, we're going to say, come to us for python coaching because we're good at what we do. The results speak for themselves. We're not apologetic for mentioning it. For the 50,000th time, come and get your python coaching with us. Because it's career, it's mindset, it's everything. Everyone who goes through it gets the results. You've seen it, you've heard it. We're just repeating ourselves at this point. But the reason I bring this up and why we have this as our last tip for 2023, to make it life changing, is that when you learn from the experts, when you get coaching on it, and it doesn't even have to be python, right? This is a Python Mindset podcast, but I'm going to say, if you want to learn the guitar, if you want to become a better swimmer, if you want to run a half marathon or a full marathon, whatever your goal happens to be, seek some coaching because you will take shortcuts. They will teach you shortcuts to the success that you will not get anywhere else. These people, the coaches, us included, we have the systems in place. We've learned a lot through our careers, and we can help you. What's the word, Bob? Not shortcut it. Circumvent it, bypass the difficulty. Smart. Cut it. Yeah, whatever it is. You know what I'm trying to say. We'll help you get through or cut off the years of trying to struggle through and learn it yourselves by telling you right up front what it is you need to know and how you're going to get there quicker. So that's my last laser focused, high accountability. And don't underestimate the accountability. Once you become accountable to a coach, everything changes. You show up, you put in the hard work way more if it's just accountability towards yourself, right? Yeah. And yeah, as you said, right, the value of one on one. We can teach history courses, books, written material, but the one on one component sitting side by side, mentor mentee relation, has resulted invaluable for people. Perfect. Okay. For more information in the show notes PDM program has its dedicated page with all the information and the stories from the people that have taken it. Yes. Go and check it out. There are some really cool apps on there as well. I was scrolling through it the other day and was like, this is, this is awesome. Growing collection. Yeah, yeah. Awesome stuff people do. So with that said, a last call to action for all of you, which is, tell us what your favorite episode has been of the past 101 if we're going to zero index it. Mister pedantic over here. What's been your favorite episode? Why, we mentioned it before, but please send us an email. We love to hear from you.

We love stories, especially when having impact. We always talk about this, right? We are not just here to share our experience, give advice. We all about deliberate practice, right? So we, we want to see you take massive action, right? And with massive action comes results. Right. Comes the massive results. Yeah, there you go. So share those. And again, the three most original ones, they get some really cool swag now because we're short on time, because we've, I don't even know how long we've been recording. Way over.
