Ep #13 Is Learning To Code Risky? (Use Corporate Finance Techniques to Decide)

In this episode of 'Easier Said Than Done', host Zubin Pratap tackles the complexities of learning to code, the pitfalls of relying on cheap coding courses, and how a mindset shift towards risk assessment from a financier's perspective can revolutionize this process.

Drawing on personal experiences from a 37-year-old lawyer to a professional software engineer and lessons from an MBA, Zubin shares how fear of failure and poor decision-making can cost more than monetary investments in the long run.

Through an engaging narrative, he explores the evolutionary aspects of fear, its impact on success and decision-making, and the importance of embracing risk for significant rewards.

Zubin's journey illuminates the uncapped upsides of well-calculated risks and the power of reframing our approach to fear and investment in self-development.
