399: Calvin Brown on Finding Gold in the Hidden App Market

Calvin Brown is a tech founder with experience managing global teams and multi-million dollar software deliverables. His software architecture background, coding capabilities, and keen understanding of the entire process help inform his mindful but competitive approach. Calvin is fueled by his passion for understanding the nuances of the technical challenges businesses face across all industries. He considers himself a 'forever student,' eager to build on his hands-on technical foundation by architecting, building, and teaching others how to master the art of making complex technical issues solvable. In 2017, Calvin's love for giving back inspired him to create a community that offers free technical training. Today, the growing tech group of nearly 1,000 professional black coders provides access to the strategies and techniques used to build lots of the software we all use daily. Understanding the intricate dance between software developers and business owners, Calvin wrote a book to help entrepreneurs bring their app-related visions to life through effectively communicating with developers without necessarily knowing the technical language. He also contributes to technology-focused magazines, selflessly spreading knowledge and resources to empower others.     = = = = =   Ready to do something bigger with your ideas? **Register Today for THE WRITE TO GROW™ COLLECTIVE 2021** ***Early Bird Pricing available now through August 15, 2021***   = = = = =   The Team here at PYP has put together another uplifting, insightful, and inspiring show for you today.
