(Episode 1) Welcome to the Let Phil community. In these videos, I will show you the next chapter of my life after I got laid off from being a tech lead. I used to lead a team of 5 and we were creating a ground breaking social networking app with 250000 users. We were almost there, but sometimes God has bigger plans for us and here I am as I not only rebuild myself, but help build my mentee's and junior's ideas to reality.
