The Sea Squirt Effect: Tech Tales of Transition
Welcome to "The Sea Squirt Effect" podcast! I'm Alla Shashkina, and in this series, I interview individuals in technology who have transitioned into, out of, or within the tech industry.
You might be wondering why this podcast is called “The Sea Squirt Effect.” The name comes from the fascinating sea squirts—creatures that constantly move and evolve until they stop and begin to digest their brain. This concept of continual growth and evolution has guided my life decisions, driven by the question of what story I will tell my grandchildren. I strive to ensure each decision contributes to my evolution, personal growth, and the betterment of the world.
I want to inspire people in tech to embrace the sea squirt effect, whether in their next career move or in making life-changing decisions. I interview individuals with compelling stories—those who have been in tech for a long time and those who transitioned from completely different industries. These are people who took bold steps to evolve and make the world a better place.
