I was recently a guest on the fun and inspirational Moments To Momentum podcast with Scott Abbott. In his signature style, Scott asked me a series of questions, balancing frivolity with deeper business insights. We talked about how I got started in technology, Oreos and whiskey, and a few other interesting facts about my life. 

After that, we moved on to more serious topics. One we discussed at length was how to recognize and not trivialize the pain and suffering of others. And once you recognize that pain exists, how you can appropriately adjust your approach to people whether in business, life or parenting. The other was “the day I fell in love with sales”.

It was a really fun conversation and I hope you enjoy listening as much as I enjoyed being Scott’s guest.

A Sample of the Questions Scott Asked Me:

Who is Mike Kelly? What’s your background? How did you get started in technology? What are you doing now?

What is DeveloperTown and FullStack?

Any celebrity crushes? 

If you were a teacher, what would you teach?

What is your favorite: cookie, snack, beverage and meal? 

If you had a yacht, what would your yacht be named?
