The fun part of this chat is watching Jay Schwedelson try to reverse-engineer how one human can juggle a million hats and still keep a sense of humor. Jeremy Byars from United Systems & Software, Inc. gets real about cognitive load, impostor syndrome, and the weirdly powerful career move most people ignore: showing up for your community like an actual person. It goes from practical leadership lessons to an unexpectedly honest story about why he has a room full of Superman collectibles.
