Your Dad is a holy W. Can tell you had a great role model in your life. Would love to see more of your dad
This is GOLD. Best podcast I’ve heard in awhile love the relationship you two have and the wisdom you shared!
I love the name of the podcast " Gundy & Son" . It really portrays how authentic the chats between the 2 of you are. I appreciate your content. 🙏🏽
Another 10/10 video. Can relate on starting the 15/hr job to get into tech, learn the basics, and move to another company after a few months, sucks for a bit but worth it on the long term. Keep the podcast going fam
Hungry, humble and smart. Wise words I love that the algorithm let me stumbled on this video. Really good information and I think we should all start forgetting about imposter syndrome and just be smart about our learning above anything else.
Only a minute in and I absolutely love the energy in the room. Nothing but good vibes. And this topic is so close to my heart so I'm looking forward to the rest of this discussion.
Your dad seems amazing! Love his demanor and light. Do more videos with him. The world needs more Gundy's in it.
Thanks for your inspiration and enlightenment on the software dev jobs with entry level . I’m actually from Ghana with a degree in software engineering , have been following your channel for quiet sometime now and your words have really inspired me a lot . There’re lotta opportunities in tech that most ppl fail to realize , especially for Ghanaian youth. I would gladly recommend your channel to most students who wanna go into tech . I wish maybe one we can talk face to face online . There’re lotta ppl like me in Ghana who wants to be a good developer like u . 😊
Love the stuff you do with your DAD ❤️
You guys gotta make more of these, this is one of only two podcasts that i watch at all. Y’all are obviously well experienced in the field and talk great as well, we need more
You guys have to keep these up !!, love the bond !!
Always love your new videos! As a new Tech KZreadr myself (thank you for inspiring me), I find your content really motivating. I'll keep watching your future videos!
Great! What a gift! I love his wisdom and grace! Truly inspiring, nice and kind! Thanks for this! This is pure gold! "Morgan Freeman-Shawsank Redemption" attitude. Sell your self. You are the prize. The more you don't care and be yourself the better. Hungry, Humble, Smart. This is exactly what I needed! 👏👏👏 Waiting for Episode 3!
Amazing words of wisdom and reassurance for us all brotha! Keep up the good work and amazing content! So many of us new developers need to hear this!
Love these videos. As a entry level developer trying to emerge into the industry right now, I wish I could get in that room with you guys. You guys are such a wealth of knowledge. This recession is really making me second guess my decisions and doubt myself. Whenever I find myself thinking like this I watch my favorite KZreadrs and continue applying. Thank you both for these videos!

Keep doing the work, don’t give up, persistence and bull dog tenacity trumps intelligence and knowledge every time. In 2006 I had no job and a family to feed. My house went into foreclosure and I filed bankruptcy. I got pissed off dug deep, did the work and got my degree. Applied to every place I could, took a teaching job, kept learning the craft, and finally got a job. I was 44. Never give up on your dreams, it’s always darkness before the dawn, get pissed of, find another gear, find a way in, don’t look for a way out,there is always a way, dig deep find out what you are made of listen to that inner voice that says I know I can. As a man thinks so he is. I am living proof of that so is Kenny, what one person can do so can you. Kenny’s Dad

Hey Kenny love from india ❤️
The only "Kenny G" I F**K with! 😅 Always enjoy the conversations between you and your Pops! Can't wait for episode 3... Edit: I totally understand where he was going with becoming a Master Swordfighter, but change "Master Swordfighter" to "Master Problem-Solver" and it'll be easier to piece together. ⚔️

@@gundy3842 Thank you for the response! I just meant that it would be easier for Kenny to breakdown. I knew where you were going with it, as I tend to sound like I'm going off on a tangent when trying to make a point, too. Keep up the great work and use whatever metaphors you like! 😅 Looking forward to episode 3!
DaD and SoN 😘😍
Hey hi I just want to know is it important to attend lectures from college to get job in Google, I mean it's really difficult for students to understand the technical English and specially memorize it for exams, pls make a video on this, a world problem in India 😭🙏
"If you gotta eat, you gotta hunt baby!"
I’m new to coding as a whole and have a general question. What programs are used in the industry to actually write code/run it?
There is always a way.
flutter vs react native. which should I choose as a beginner
Sir could u tell how to start freelancing from scratch without experience as beginner like essential points to know & adapt but building trust & getting projects from clients quickly.. what's the crucial things to keep in mind while starting the journey into an uncertain field ?
What about what happens or what can happen after you start your dev career? The good and the bad.
