Today, I’m excited to share my interview with Justin Rodermond, whom I first met while working at Skillshare. Justin was on the interview team when I applied for the job. He later became Skillshare’s Senior Director of Engineering, and now he’s bootstrapping his own company, [Jump Revenue](https://jumprevenue.com/). We talked about his journey from coding as a kid to leading engineering teams, his approach to entrepreneurship, and the challenges of building a startup from scratch. It was a fun episode to make!
