Thriving Technologist

If working in software feels like politics, pressure, and burnout—you’re not crazy. You're just awake. I’m Jayme Edwards, a Tech Career Strategist and creator of the ESCAPE Stack. After 27 years in the industry—across startups, consultancies, and enterprise teams—I learned the hard way that thriving in tech means more than chasing promotions or trying to survive the chaos. In this podcast (the audio version of my YouTube channel, Thriving Technologist), I share honest lessons from my career, behind-the-scenes stories from coaching developers, and a roadmap for breaking free of the grind—especially if you're curious about consulting or building a more independent life in tech. New episodes every Monday on YouTube and here on Wednesdays. Subscribe to join a growing community of software professionals choosing clarity, leverage, and autonomy over burnout.
