In this episode of Bytes and Banter, Phil Gerbyshak joins us to talk about burnout, authenticity, and building a human-centered career in tech. From his early days as a book-loving teacher at heart to becoming a coach, speaker, and advocate for tech professionals, Phil shares lessons learned about navigating career pivots, recognizing burnout, and finding energy through self-reflection and connection.
We explore what it really means to lead with empathy, how to deepen professional relationships beyond hallway small talk, and why being human, helpful, and humble is more powerful than any new tool or trend. Plus, Phil reveals his go-to strategies for staying energized—and why naps, notebooks, and 3AM conversations might be the key to sustainable success.
