#3 LAB: I Don't Think I Can Solve Problems

Defective Detective

What being disabled and chronically ill has been like for me and how it's affected how I build a company. I talk about consistency, pain, guilt and shame, rumination, and struggling to create. I also include an update of Laboratory de Cake, which will be structuring the podcast like a science paper!
I can't solve the problems we are facing with the pandemic and climate change, maybe none of us can. I hope I can support disabled and chronically ill people to find a better standard of living, with more financial stability and overall freedom. We deserve more and the world can benefit from our talents.
I BELIEVE IN YOU. Please hang in there. 🧡
If you want to connect with me, you can find me @thecakelin on Twitter, Tiktok, and Instagram, and Gmail. I will give free advice to hx excluded identities looking to get into tech or build products (content or apps). Identities: disabled/chronic illness, BIPOC, LGBTQIA.
Schedule time to Ramble Rumble with me on Calendly!
