Brian Samson advises non-technical founders to join a local tech association to learn the language and meet peers. He won the 2023 Best Collaboration Award through the South Florida Tech Hub by working with partner organizations. Find mentors, and don't stay at a development shop that isn't working.

Chapters

If you're not a tech founder, get involved with the tech association that's in your local area. Now you're gonna be around more people. Yes, it may be a little different in the beginning, but you start to get to know people. You're knowing the language, you're understanding what that is. You're now respected in the community cuz it took a little bit of time for me to, to break in. But like, I just won some awards for the 2023. We won the best collaboration award with 3 other organizations. For South Florida Tech Hub. Never would have been able to do that, but I built that community. And if you do that and you can find somebody that can answer those questions and help you on that. And one thing that I will tell, and I've told two people that I mentor right now this, do not ever be afraid to walk away from your dev shop. So many people get scared that, oh my gosh, I'm gonna have to start over.
