Listen in as Julia Taylor, Founder and CEO of GeekPack shares her remarkable transition from intelligence work to tech entrepreneurship. Her story is a tapestry of life-altering moments—her first deployment, finding love, and the challenges faced as a military spouse, ultimately leading her to the tech world. She recounts how a simple Google search sparked her coding passion, emphasizing the value of community and mentorship.
