In this episode, siblings John and Adam Isom come chat about their journeys working together through Launch School. Adam had completed a different coding bootcamp and was in the midst of completing his CS degree when he switched to focus on Launch School. John walked away from a college scholarship to study CS to do Launch School. Why did they do that? How did it work out? Give this episode a listen to find out!

In this conversation, we chatted about:


  • Attending college vs getting a job straight out of high school

  • A CS degree vs Launch School

  • Working and studying with your brother

  • The importance of a "default environment"

  • The SPOT community at Launch School

  • The awkwardness of a six-figure job hunt straight out of high school
