guest: paul gower, engineering team lead at kin insurance and conference organizer for little rock tech fest
- treat rest as a skill you actively practice, not just laziness or downtime
- experiment to find your own rest style since naps and routines work differently for everyone
- build small recurring team moments like casual icebreakers to create connection and downtime
- prepare your own thoughtful questions for interviews about culture and practices instead of just answering theirs
- when hiring, prioritize teachable skills like collaboration and willingness to learn over exact tech stack experience
