Debugging Dan is where I’ll be sharing my personal experiences as I juggle being a husband and a dad, having a full-time job and a passion for side projects. It’s not so much about debugging code, that’s a metaphor. It is about debugging and navigating life in general. Why start this podcast? For me, it’s about creating a space where we can learn and grow together. Life can get hectic, and side projects can sometimes feel overwhelming. But through this weekly podcast, I hope to offer some guidance, share some laughs, and most importantly, remind you that you’re not alone in this journey. www.debuggingdan.com
